Also that that the leader popularity ratings are created from polls by the same firms that massively inflate the Tory vote because they are being paid by the likes of the Mail to produce numbers they can sell papers with.

Polling in the UK is so completely flawed it's not worth paying attention to

So Corbyn is definitely unpopular - but Johnson isn't very popular either, and that number can keep going down. The 'Brexit at any cost' will I suppose keep him a certain base, if he can keep deflecting the blame, but I don't think the sexual misconduct angle is going down well. Labour (or it's '''outriders''') should focus on that, I'd think.

Unpopular according to Opinium, the same agency that has the Tories with a 15 point lead

UK polling is not worth paying attention to, especially when there isn't an election going on

The lib dems/swinson not only actually believe they can do a macron, they think that's a good thing.

Or they are trying to grab funding with the same cynical trick they use in all their literature of claiming an impossible thing to be possible

The Manchester attacker has now been assessed and detained under the Mental Health Act. Have the police ever been know to treat terrorism offences as a mental health issue before?

Given the limited amount that's come out about the attack it seems more like someone having a psychotic break slashing at shoppers than a politically motivated attack. It's reasonable to treat it as a terrorist attack in the moment but reassess when the facts become clearer. Fortunately none of the injuries sustained are life threatening.

I know it's common for terrorism to be downgraded if the attacker doesn't conform to a specific profile, and that is a serious injustice, but that doesn't mean you have to assume every attack is terrorism.

If this does turn out to be a terrorist attack, it's a very poorly coordinated and executed one.

The Tories are low on funds and low on workers come election time, they're going to be fighting an election primarily on a policy which only exists because of a huge split in their party so morale will not be good.

2017 proved that public opinion can be shifted very quickly. If the pollsters are forecasting another hung parliament on current bullshit polls that's very good news for a Labour party who have a manifesto which will be very popular once people have a chance to hear it and some very solid weapons to beat the Tories with.

I think we can all agree that the best thing is that I personally will get £50 for unlocking and locking the doors at a polling station just in time for Christmas.

Also radical socialist government and the death of the Tory party, but mainly the me getting £50 for doing very little

What they found on the seventh recount that they didn't on the previous six is anyone's guess.

The tories are still putting their manifesto together and it'll piss off half of them with line 1 being HARD BREXIT OR BUST. Labour have been ready to go since before the conference season, with actual thought out policies.

Boris' clown act doesn't work when he's supposed to appear 'prime ministerial' and all he's got other than that is sour faced poshery. They've got themselves convinced that because their echo chamber only cares about Brexit that the general public isn't sick to death of hearing about it and will welcome hearing all the actual ideas Labour have. Even if they're not sold on them at first it's something different to grab the attention.
