If Jeremy Corbyn had been an American Democrat in 2015 he'd be President of the US of A right now.

If Jeremy Corbyn had been an american democrat in 2015 he'd have been hosed over by the DNC harder than Sanders by an order of magnitude.

Yeah. There was a fairly accurate one last time, but it was pulled due to cost/looking to off from the other ones as it projected labour gains.

Also worth remembering polls are another form of propaganda these days.

YouGov's MRP model was basically spot on, but they panicked and pulled it the last few days in favour of looking like the other main pollsters. Survation was also pretty much spot on, and stuck to their guns all the way through.

quote:

Swinson personally wrote to Butler to say she believed her account of racism and that everyone has a responsibility to be “careful with the words they use”.

She wrote: “I believe we all have a responsibility to be careful with the words we use and to make sure that we are communicating in a way that is sensitive and appropriate. I understand that Mr Wilson has issued an apology for his tweet, which I believe to be essential in the circumstances.

“I want to be clear that I absolutely believe that your experience in the lift is genuine, and I think it is vital that when these experiences are shared that they are believed and not dismissed.”

She said all MPs and staff were expected to take the “Valuing Everyone” training course run in the Commons.

Butler wrote back: “This is a completely inadequate response to a complaint of racism, which is not in keeping with the Macpherson principles that instances of racism will be recorded and treated as such and investigated accordingly.”

On Tuesday, the Lib Dems contacted Butler to send her a link to a complaints form, which she had already filled out when she first complained to the party. However, they have not answered questions on whether Wilson faces any disciplinary action or if he has attended a training course on diversity.

That's just absolutely amazing.

Labour won this seat by 2,500 votes last time. He's quickly likely gifting the seat to the Tories. What a comrade.

Eh, he needs to stand for the seat to get his 22k (see Angela Smith), so that's probably what he's doing
