And that polll was taken post Manchester bombing, which was supposedly going to harden Tory support.

We are living in very strange times.

If we thought the days post brexit vote were stunning in political terms.

Just imagine what will happen if there's a hung parliament post June 8th!

They (our government) wanted it to be about people rather than policy.

If you think of the process of how she became PM, it's bizarre really. If you look only at her record in the Home Office. You'd have to consider her amongst the the most incompetent politician in recent times. Has she done anything else?

Even looking at it neutrally, who could the Tories pick when Cameron resigned?

The field was absolutely atrocious. Leadsom, Johnson, Gove, May or Crabb.

Amber Rudd, Phillip Hammond, Justine Greening and Tracey Crouch are the only cabinet members I have even the slightest respect for.

Labour have infinitely more talent, although unfortunately many of the best politicians are choosing not to serve on the Shadow Cabinet.

The election campaign is back – with a Jeremy Corbyn speech linking the Manchester attack to the War on Terror.

not trusted 30%;

Corbyn trusted 33%,

and a couple of counterbalances to the corbyn speech

Corbyn is not even wrong. Far worse, he lends support to idea West intervened in countries *because* they are Muslim

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/jeremy-corbyn-manchester-attack-terrorism-uk-foreign-policy-wars-speech-a7756266.html

 Questions for Corbyn as it emerges he boasts about voting against all 17 new terrorism laws since 1983;
