If Labour can't win an overall majority after the last couple of years, that would be an appalling result. Don't see it happening.
Mind you, you could say the same about the Tories in 2010 vs Brown.
At this stage before the 2010 general election Cameron was heading for a landslide majority.
The debates saw Clegg get the biggest bounce relative to Cameron and Brown and led to a hung parliament. If Sunak does well in the debates against Starmer, which he should, then a hung parliament is still possible
Well before that, Cameron's lead was collapsing. Right from January.
Polling is more sophisticated now than in say, 1992 or 1997, but people can still change their minds when given an actual choice.
Polls from March 2009 had a Conservative voteshare ranging from 40% to 44% and Labour voteshares ranging from 28% to 32% ie Starmer's current poll lead is not much bigger than Cameron's was then but in 2010 it ended up a hung parliament
Tory support for Boris Johnson is draining away tonight as party grandees likened his response to a cross-party parliamentary inquiry into whether he misled MPs over “Partygate” to the lies of former US president Donald Trump.
Several Conservative MPs in senior positions reacted with disbelief after Johnson and his dwindling band of allies questioned the work of the independent Commons privileges committee and accused it of an “outrageous level of bias”, after it said on Friday there was a significant volume of evidence suggesting that the former PM may have misled parliament.
Referring to Johnson and his backers, a senior MP who is well informed about Partygate said: “They have gone full Trump. It is wicked. Where will this end? They are desperate.” Another grandee said Johnson was “just like Trump, saying black is white, white is black”.
Tobias Ellwood, Tory chair of the defence select committee, said the prime minister, Rishi Sunak, had shown real leadership with last week’s deal on the Northern Ireland protocol, but warned that the progress risked being undermined by Johnson. In a reference to the ex-PM’s behaviour, Ellwood added: “If we now stay united and disciplined we could win the general election but not if this latest distraction turns into a Trumpian drag anchor.”
Other Tories in high positions in the party said Johnson may have committed contempt of parliament in the past 48 hours alone – by attacking, deriding and undermining the work of a committee which was specifically authorised by the Commons to look into whether he had told the truth to MPs.
Sir Bob Neill, Tory chair of the all-party justice select committee and a lawyer, told the Observer: “It is wrong for anyone to try to undermine the work of a parliamentary committee.”
That’s because, judging by PB, the deal, at least earlier in the week, popular amongst both remainers and leavers not a dividing line between them, because I think leavers were sucked in by the spin of huge concessions Sunak won from EU, not questioning what EU were up to by conceding, nor how “the impossible” had been achieved. leavers believed Stormont politicians had been given a real veto not a mirage - though in your credit TSE you have been explaining from the start the veto it’s a mirage - whilst remainers still choose to believe it’s a strong veto, and still think the border in Irish Sea was resolved, not the pressure largely transferred to the NI/ROI border instead. Leavers didn’t realise the agreement included the concession to the EU to close the green lane down themselves whenever they want, throwing border back into Irish Sea and everything back to square one.
So it’s important to note all fieldwork for this poll was Thursday, Friday and yesterday, as the mists originally spun around WF were lifting and real thing better understanded. Hence half respondents don’t really know if it’s good or bad now, and already 1 in 7 think it bad and want it killed.

Overall still a smaller Labour lead than many other pollsters with Opinium
Isn't that to be expected though, with their unique Swingback Anticipation Factor? If they're right, this is what they're predicting for 2024, not an election tomorrow.
(That might be why they haven't picked up the perking up in Conservative ratings the others have. If it's soft Conservative voters returning to the fold, Opinium had folded them in already. Or it might be that the Windsor Bounce was very very short-lived.)
Suffice to say that, if the final score in 2024 is 44-27, the Conservatives are utterly Donald Ducked. Even if you squeeze all the RefUK voters into the Conservative column and leave the Greens alone, that gets you to 44-35, which still works out as a healthy Labour majority.

Probably boths of those. But going backward at same time means finding less Tories. And probably you mean soft don’t knows getting softer?
HY knows it’s a swingback poll so always likely to be low Lab lead, so why even mention it like it means something in relation to other non swingback polls?
Sunak’s disposal of Boris has a poetic quality to it. Even if you are no fan of the prime minister, you have to be impressed by the way he has elegantly dismantled Boris.

To be fair Johnson has done a very good job of dismantling himself and good to see conservative mps wanting him gone

How well I remember the outrage at the unfair and inaccurate Britain Trump meme..
I still think its misnamed. He's got Trumpite elements, but it means people can overlook where he isn't like Trump, to their detriment - as John Oliver put it, its not exactly wrong or exactly right.

Indeed, Boris won the popular vote in 2019 as well as most seats. Trump lost the popular vote in 2016 and 2020 even if he won the EC in 2016. Boris does optimism better than Trump even if some of their reclaim sovereignty themes were similar

As I said earlier, the campaign could change everything. Starmer's lead is little different to Cameron's in March 2009 but Clegg made a breakthrough in the first 2010 debate and it ended up a hung parliament. I would expect Rishi to do very well in the debates too

Not sure why - he's rubbish in debates. He couldn't consistently beat Truss, and despite my admiration for aspects of her premiership, she was no debater.

Well, I was thinking more that Trump was an outsider who seems to have cannibalised the Republican Party into his personal fiefdom, whilst Boris is an establishment figure who successfully exploited factional interests behind him, and was ousted when his personal appeal to those factions ended.

Yes, he's going Trump. But what people generally imply when they call him Britain Trump is to suggest they are the same, or completely aligned. And Boris is shitty enough without suggesting that, which isn't the case on the details, which means he can wriggle off the hook of certain allegations. You save the Trump comparisons for moments like these, when it fits.

Indeed, Boris won the popular vote in 2019 as well as most seats. Trump lost the popular vote in 2016 and 2020 even if he won the EC in 2016. Boris does optimism better than Trump even if some of their reclaim sovereignty themes were similar
Interesting observation: my dad was a student in London in the late 1950s and he says that even at that time the majority of black and white people got along pretty well with each other. It's a bit of a myth that they didn't.
Let's see. The spelling "gray" is more common in America; the spelling "grey" is more common outside America, notably in England. So, perhaps "Sue Grey" is an attempt to locate her correctly, even though that isn't her family name.

Nah.
Gray is Scots/Northern English. Calling the unfortunate lady 'Grey' is just incompetent southerner journos who don't have any respect for the full gamut of the language north of Watford Gap, or at least Leicester Forest.

Tory support for Boris Johnson is draining away tonight as party grandees likened his response to a cross-party parliamentary inquiry into whether he misled MPs over “Partygate” to the lies of former US president Donald Trump.
Several Conservative MPs in senior positions reacted with disbelief after Johnson and his dwindling band of allies questioned the work of the independent Commons privileges committee and accused it of an “outrageous level of bias”, after it said on Friday there was a significant volume of evidence suggesting that the former PM may have misled parliament.
Referring to Johnson and his backers, a senior MP who is well informed about Partygate said: “They have gone full Trump. It is wicked. Where will this end? They are desperate.” Another grandee said Johnson was “just like Trump, saying black is white, white is black”.
Tobias Ellwood, Tory chair of the defence select committee, said the prime minister, Rishi Sunak, had shown real leadership with last week’s deal on the Northern Ireland protocol, but warned that the progress risked being undermined by Johnson. In a reference to the ex-PM’s behaviour, Ellwood added: “If we now stay united and disciplined we could win the general election but not if this latest distraction turns into a Trumpian drag anchor.”
Other Tories in high positions in the party said Johnson may have committed contempt of parliament in the past 48 hours alone – by attacking, deriding and undermining the work of a committee which was specifically authorised by the Commons to look into whether he had told the truth to MPs.
Sir Bob Neill, Tory chair of the all-party justice select committee and a lawyer, told the Observer: “It is wrong for anyone to try to undermine the work of a parliamentary committee.”

Yes, he's going Trump. But what people generally imply when they call him Britain Trump is to suggest they are the same, or completely aligned. And Boris is shitty enough without suggesting that, which isn't the case on the details, which means he can wriggle off the hook of certain allegations. You save the Trump comparisons for moments like these, when it fits.
My main takeaway from this is that a certain part of the PCP adores briefing the anti-Conservative press with anonymous nastiness about fellow Tories. They did it to Truss (this could well be the same individual/s), now Boris. I'm open to counter-information on this, but they all seem to be on the Sunakite side of the party, also the quickest side to demand that the party unite behind the dismal decline manager.
I am reminded of Anna Soubry, who when her preferred faction was in control, demanded loyalty to Cameron and insisted that fellow Tories should be 'bashing lefties' (bashing may not have been the term employed, but it was along those lines) rather than questioning the leader. Fast forward post-Brexit, evidently her 'lefty bashing' advice didn't actually apply to her - she decided to be as obstructive as she damn well could, before eventually defecting to start her own party.

There were riots during WW2 when the US forces (stationed in the UK) enforced strict racial segregation amongst GIs visiting local pubs.
And the locals were furious with the US Army (which included the Air Force at the time).
My dad was training with the navy in Plymouth when two white MPs were called to some disorder in a pub with a couple of drunk Black soldiers, and just pulled out their Colt .45s and shot them on the spot. The shock went around the area instantly and he still remembered it 60 years later.
Sunak replied: “Ha! Ironic given I haven’t spoken to him since he left!”
In a later message, Sunak, who was chancellor at the time, described the time Cummings was chief adviser to Downing Street as “a nightmare I hope we never ever have to repeat”...
At some Paris train stations there's a really menacing atmosphere. Can't wait to get back to London where nowhere ever feels like that, even in the early hours of the morning.
The UK is and will always be the best place to live
On what basis do you say that? If the comment had come from @leon at least I would know there was some decent experience behind it, and even then it would be limited. How on earth can you know that?

I have the same issue with my IRL surname. The more common, simplified spelling is more prevalent in the US. Autofill will often default to the (for me, incorrect, form).

The United Kingdom will provide Ukraine with twice as many Challenger 2 tanks as it initially promised - 28, Ambassador of Ukraine to the United Kingdom Vadym Prystaiko said in an interview with Radio Liberty. https://twitter.com/Hromadske/status/1632091286944587779
I'm still struggling to understand exactly what the tank situation is. Lots of Leopards promised, then the rowing back. Latest I've seen is Germany possibly buying Swiss tanks to send to Ukraine as the Swiss don't want to send them directly.

I think the main factor is that a lot of Europe's tanks are in an awful state of repair, so the number that can be sent is limited by the number that can be made usable.
One way or another a bunch will be sent, but after that they're going to need to build some new ones, or convince a country like India to sell some of its store of tanks.

Large numbers of tanks in Europe are non runners. The German military is especially chaotic and there is some doubt at to whether they know what works or not.
The Swiss, being the Swiss, have probably maintained theirs in perfect mechanical condition.

Give it time !!!!
Farage was always far closer to Trump ideologically than Boris ever was.
In US terms Boris would be a RINO or a centrist Democrat like Sunak and Starmer would be
It's not about ideology, though, is it? It's about lying, distortion and obfuscation as the default setting.
But people do sometimes say its about ideology, they'd describe policy as Trumpian. Which is generally pretty easy to refute. So its worth specifying in which particular ways someone is Trumpish. Clearer how to counter them that way.

Yes, but the context here is other Tories calling out the latest Boris attempt to deny reality in a Trumpian manner. The politics of the two are obviously different, but that's hardly a defence for his self serving lies.

That’s because, judging by PB, the deal, at least earlier in the week, popular amongst both remainers and leavers not a dividing line between them, because I think leavers were sucked in by the spin of huge concessions Sunak won from EU, not questioning what EU were up to by conceding, nor how “the impossible” had been achieved. leavers believed Stormont politicians had been given a real veto not a mirage - though in your credit TSE you have been explaining from the start the veto it’s a mirage - whilst remainers still choose to believe it’s a strong veto, and still think the border in Irish Sea was resolved, not the pressure largely transferred to the NI/ROI border instead. Leavers didn’t realise the agreement included the concession to the EU to close the green lane down themselves whenever they want, throwing border back into Irish Sea and everything back to square one.
So it’s important to note all fieldwork for this poll was Thursday, Friday and yesterday, as the mists originally spun around WF were lifting and real thing better understanded. Hence half respondents don’t really know if it’s good or bad now, and already 1 in 7 think it bad and want it killed.
TSE has posted one tweet which could be interpreted that way, which didn’t say quite what you thought it did.

(That might be why they haven't picked up the perking up in Conservative ratings the others have. If it's soft Conservative voters returning to the fold, Opinium had folded them in already. Or it might be that the Windsor Bounce was very very short-lived.)
Suffice to say that, if the final score in 2024 is 44-27, the Conservatives are utterly Donald Ducked. Even if you squeeze all the RefUK voters into the Conservative column and leave the Greens alone, that gets you to 44-35, which still works out as a healthy Labour majority.
Probably boths of those. But going backward at same time means finding less Tories. And probably you mean soft don’t knows getting softer?
HY knows it’s a swingback poll so always likely to be low Lab lead, so why even mention it like it means something in relation to other non swingback polls?
There’s spin. And then thers posting silly.
I’m now so drunk I’m tapping out.
