If he somehow got it right, it adds a percent or two to every poll we've seen, making the banding between 8% gap and 1%

sounds like he's going to play it safe

I guess it's them making sure they're not accused of "dodging Brexit" in the campaign. They need to move on to better topics for them as soon as they can.

What do we think the impact will be of the debates on polling? If YouGov have only a 3 point gap before them then I honestly wouldn't be surprised if we saw a Labour lead at some point in the next week.

I've been donating direct to the Labour party, but wouldn't be above spending some money on this. Could anyone recommend a relatively slick and simple website containing 'why you shouldn't vote Tory ' that it would be useful to direct people to if they click?

Grime is legitimately cool. There's a great independent, DIY attitude through a lot of the scene, by necessity because until recently it was pretty overlooked despite the occasional breakthrough of a Dizzee Rascal or a Lethal Bizzle. And incidentally, grime era Dizzee Rascal remains loving rad. And then guys like JME & Skepta are willing to be activists as well as musicians.

It's genuinely exciting new British music. What other British scene is nearly as vibrant as grime in TYOOL 2017?

Remember that time an idiot Labour Culture Minister dismissed the entire scene as racist? Ahh, Blairism.

grime is really analogous to punk imo. there's a lot of DIY. people have always been quick to write it off but there's just so many good artists, it's the best music this country has put out in decades.

also wiley is sort of crazy but he's a very real dude. everyone has a crazy story or two about the guy, but you can't help but love him.

I was curious to see how the Corbyn/May Best PM ratings compare to recent history, where the last yougov has May leading 43/30. Turns out that's actually pretty similar to what Ed faced against Davey (https://yougov.co.uk/news/2015/04/23/best-pm-cameron-lead-14/), where Ed was generally mired around 20-25% preference to Davey's 35%ish. So Corbyn's name isn't dragging down the party at this point anymore than any other leader probably would be (given they're going to be smeared by the right wing press no matter what)/.

It's been 37 years and the woman still hasn't clocked it, I'm convinced she thinks I just tan well.
