Northern seats tend to show a Labour lead in polling crosstabs. Of course, without proper polling methodology that could well be crap due to lack of weighting.

Especially when the obvious counter to her argument is that the police got all those powers May wanted that Jeremy voted against and still didn't manage to prevent the attacks from happening. I hate Piers with a passion but that audio was a good listen.

Seriously, I understand how polling a truly random sample outside of an election campaign helps measure the public's perception of parties/leaders, but when people want to know who is most likely to win an election (e.g. during an election campaign), why wouldn't polling companies re-balance their efforts towards marginals?

YouGov's seat projections where they're polling 50,000 people all over the country have Tories gaining in the north, Midlands and Scotland and Labour gaining in the south, London and Wales, so this could be bad if it's Tories gaining a bunch of Midlands marginal while Labour pick off a few cities in the south and extend their leads in London and Wales.

Yeah this is he first time since 97 that Labour are going into an election out of the shadow of New Labour, nobody knows whether the youth turnout is going to stay where it is or rebound to where it was.
