I guess the main takeaway message is that Labour has lost some of the momentum it's had recently, although doesn't seem to have fallen back. Potential upside? The best poll for Labour was the only one conducted entirely today, and also specifically said the debate was good for Labour.

Labour pledges VAT cut to help families on low incomesquote:Labour will aim to help tens of millions of people who are struggling on lower incomes by cutting the rate of VAT if it wins the general election, the shadow chancellor John McDonnell has told the Observer.

Irony Be My Shield posted:The other upside is that we've had a poll that isn't just "Labour are doing better but will still lose", it's "if this happens Corbyn will probably be Prime Minister". It's possible for Labour to win, we need to work hard to deliver its vote. Yeah, a hung parliament is now the best case scenario rather than just mitigating the loss. That shouldn't be underestimated, it's a huge difference from the start of the campaign. This also seems significant, I think it's the first time Corbyn has surpassed May in popularity: https://twitter.com/britainelects/status/871113524310925312

ronya posted:well the good-ish news on that front is that Lib Dem and ScotLab have run low of seats to be eaten Well, no, because former Conservative seats the Lib Dems lost will most likely be held by the Conservatives because they were seats that Labour wasn't and likely still isn't competitive in (particularly since the Lib Dems are still trying to regain them with all their might and looks like failing) which splits the leftish/Remain vote.

That's cool, a return to 17.5% should be fine really. Jesus it's ridiculous how much of a hard fight it is to get any tax back to 2007 level.

Also, if I recall correctly YouGov provided the single poll that predicted a Yes win in the Scottish referendum, they were one of the highest for Labour in the 2015 election and they were one of the highest for Remain in the EU referendum (please correct me if I'm wrong). Too many internet polls, not enough telephone ones, iirc?

Seems like he's trailing this ahead of his interview on Marr tomorrow. Sounds like a good idea to me. It blows a hole in the Tory attack that Labour are the party of higher taxes, and gives him something nice to contrast with the chaotic tax message the Tories have put out today. The only downside is going to be 'how can you pay for it', but gently caress it if the Tories can say their immigration target is an 'aspiration' then so can we.

Another good Labour policy. Shame we won't see them enacted eh? But I guess we're about to go into another period of not campaigning with what news is coming in from London. gently caress. (And for clarity's sake, that gently caress is aimed at the horror of the attack & their increasing frequency rather anything politically partisan)

I stuck on the BBC News Channel & it's just..."We know something big & important has happened but we have no details so here's some tweets". Rolling news is bad but it's also the sort of thing you can't imagine ever being turned back.
