Take that Independent headline with a pinch of salt. Lebedev's other 'paper', the Evening Standard, is a Tory publication in all but name today. Something like 15 pages with some sort of Corbyn-bashing on it.

They put their preliminary poll out a couple of hours ago. It showed the 12pt lead. Unless the last section of their sample was really weird I can't see what he's so excited about.

Bill Clinton in '92 I think? (for a given definition of left) US polls historically have errors for both the democrats and republicans in equal measure, the UK is the exception in that our errors tend consistently towards the Tories.

The main thing that could gently caress things up for May is if people decide they can't be bothered to vote for her and turnout is lower for her base.

Their manifesto was FYGM towards practically the entire population, and all the media focus has been why you shouldn't vote for Jez rather than for Theresa May, so it probably hasn't inspired people into the booth for her.

Still, expecting a Tory landslide and despair.

Boon was involved in that DP street poll the other day where the options of how someones opinion of the leaders had gone was "Corbyn more" "Corbyn less" "May More" "May No Change" so I'm tending towards him being a dickhead.

I don't think it was that poll. Those results had been out unofficially for a while. I'm guessing either Survation or YouGov will have a Labour lead. Someone's going to look foolish however this goes.

Cooper won't be the first to announce, she'll let a couple of other people come forward first and then come in at the urging of other PLP members as a unity option.

Someone will float her name before about 2am in a talking head piece on BBC, perhaps not even a member of the Labour party.

Good news, ITV's coverage will have 'expert analysis' from Gideon and Yvette Cooper's husband (and bff of Andy Burnham) so you can probably expect chat in that direction a whole lot earlier

Did anyone post Nate Silver's piece on the UK polls, which was published when we all had a lot more on our minds. A tl;dr version if I'm interpreting it correctly: Take the average poll lead of the Tories over Labour, and assume a 10 point margin of error either way. So about that hope, eh?
