I don't think it's Glasgow Central, there's no bridge like that at Central & the platform that the Virgin Trains trains use is much more curved than that.

If you benefit fully from both the increased personal allowance and the raising of the higher rate threshold, your income tax bill will go down by around £700 per year, which would mean around about a 2% increase in takehome pay for someone on £50k.

Isn't the stuff about Ed Miliband having a huge poll lead ignoring that the polling companies have changed their methodology to reflect on the fact they failed to predict the Tories getting a 6 point majority?

Apparently this poll was using the older methodology and will be the last one to do so. How much of that is true or not depends entirely on how credulous we are.

Ed Miliband had a huge poll lead it's true, but he utterly failed to capitalise on it and watched that poll lead drip away as he did very little to contradict the conservatives on the need for austerity. If Labour can capitalise on the renewed opposition to austerity then I think they have a better chance of maintaining and increasing a lead over the conservatives than with the previous method.

I don't think Corbyn has much of a chance to win an election, I think there's less of a chance that Ed Miliband ever actually had an 11 point lead and bringing up the fact he supposedly did is moot when those same polls predicted he'd be our Prime Minister right now in May.

That was the ICM poll. YouGov changed the weighting of their polls to match the outcome of last year's election. Ed Miliband's 11 point lead was done with the same weighting that had Labour and the Tories even heading into an election the Tories won by 6 points.
