May leads Corbyn in these groups



Corbyn leads May as follows

Losing 71 to 8 among leave voters shows what folly the current Labour policy on Brexit is.

Can't believe Saint Jeremy has f'd anything up.  All the fault of the neocon plotters no doubt.  Favourite tweet if the week, barring the one that referred to the far right of the labour party was one that referred to the anti Corbyn/anti caring wing of the labour party.  Like if you don't think Jeremy is a good leader, you are by definiton anti caring. 

Embarassing that we need a bunch of lords to demonstrate what the opposition should be doing.

Cheltenham soon though.

Calling bullshit on this, there is no way Corbyn is behind by so much to May in Scotland, yes he's a bellend.  But the tories are still hated up here. 

I'm starting to think the it's handpicked tory staffers in these opinion polls. 

Come now. Conservatives currently polling 25%ish in scotland and have picked up substantailly. Labour at 15%-18%having fallen off a cliff and stayed there

Ruth Davidson is both effective and popular. Not at all sure its fair to say the conservatives are hated in all parts of Scotland. Do a vox pop in Hawick, Galashiels, Ayr or parts of Edinburgh where they are strong and see!

entiely plausible that May would currently beat Corbyn in a head to head between the two in Scotland,albeit there are obviously a lot of don't knows/don't cares

just because a poll doesn't fit with your world view from a corner of Glasgow doesn't mean its full of bias or "handpicked tory staffers"

Aye?  I work Scotland wide, speak to people from different backgrounds every day.  I have friends and family across the country. 

There is no tory resurgency, Wee Ruthie is not popular nor is she effective.  She's a proven liar for sure.

The tories are strong in parts of South Edinburgh.  The only reason they actually got Ruth in was the Green Party split the independence vote. 

This picture was taken at the tory conference today during the keynote speech of our unelected prime minister.

In all seriousness though isn't it a bit early for services to radio?

Haha, it is pretty hard to nail down why he merits anything - fair crack at a services to comedy gong for many of  his speeches

Labour surge to 16 points behind this morning

Interesting the one main "very pro Europe" party doesn't seem to be making any progress with voters.

very strong results at local level, won Richmond, big increases in membership too

at the very least should rebound strongly from their annus horribilis of 2015.

beyond that will depend how implementing brexit goes
