Quote Some polling quoted in a Financial Times story (paywall) by Jim Pickard helps to explain why Labour might be keen to delay the election until November. If Johnson were to go to the polls after 31 October without having delivered Brexit, support for the Brexit party would double, the poll suggests. Pickard writes: An ICM poll suggests that support for the Brexit party would double from 9 per cent to 18 per cent if an election takes place after Halloween. The poll, commissioned by Represent Us — which is pushing for a second Brexit referendum — found the Conservatives’ lead over Labour would evaporate in those circumstances. The ICM poll suggests the Tories would beat Labour by 37 per cent against 30 per cent in an October election, while the two parties would be neck and neck on 28 per cent in a November poll. The general point is unsurprising, but it's useful to see numbers. So an election held a little later would help Labour in this respect as well as student votes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NurembergVillan Posted September 6, 2019 Moderator Share Posted September 6, 2019 Here's Johnson's hand-written note about prorogation - Who could he be referring to in the redacted part? Oh yes! "Girly swot Cameron"! These clearings in the woods think they're all still 6th formers at Eton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam-AVFC Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 That is astonishing. They really didn't ever grow up, did they? I don't care how they talk when joking with their mates, but the stupidity of writing shit like this on official minutes is astounding. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted September 6, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted September 6, 2019 I'm quite glad everyone's cottoned on to the fact that the BBC's lead politics reporter is more than a bit partial to the blue team. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peterms Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 Fitting, for the party of Laura Norder. At least he should be familiar with the caution when it's read out to him, well, give or take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the lack of criticism... Well, Johnson is a Tory, an upper class one, one of our betters. He's not a mess, it's character. Corbyn's just an uppity spiv.
