Pretty sure a Corbyn win is him being returned as a member of parliament.

After being "the most popular PM ever" May must be breaking some kind of record in biggest dive in approval ratings too.

Edit: The 17th May Ipsos poll had her on 55/35, so that's a 27 point drop in net satisfaction.

Corbyn was on 31/58, so that's a 16 point gain in net satisfaction.

So May has gone from being 47 points ahead in satisfaction to being 4 points ahead in two weeks

Species-focused protection and conservation schemes are usually used to supplement and support ecosystem and habitat protection schemes. They are not disconnected, but form a complex web. More often than both habitat and species level work is done by the same people.

edit: This is becoming a derail and the thread moves on to new things.

Of course. My derisive comment is more directed at people who have no clue about conservation other than that it sometimes involves cute animals and then try to railroad everything into being about those cute animals.

No, she's just not turning up in this campaign. It is fascinating. If she's still in charge when the Scots have Indyref2, the union will break up, because she is an absent fuckwit.

The papers are trying their best to have her back but what even is there to support lol

Hold me UKMT, I've decided to watch This Week because Akala was on it and he's always worth listening to & currently Ed Balls is saying the BBC isn't part of the elite media establishment? And Andrew Neill is salty at Akala suggesting that there is a media bias when Corbyn is continually roasted over his "links" to the IRA in the 1980s while Theresa May isn't getting nearly the same treatment over the revelations about the Manchester bomber being sent to Libya by the Tory government, which Theresa May was a senior member of.

I know I shouldn't expect anything different from this show, but it's still annoying, even if Akala is good.

There was a great bit in Are Ken's Vice piece stating that analysis of the coverage has found that the papers are really trying their best by monstering Corbyn but because May keeps just loving up they have to just not talk about the Conservatives or speciously bring up old news to put them in a positive light.
