As ever, conference polling can be volatile.

TSE got style.
We have crossover etc etc.
pretty poor score for both big parties though
Still think we shan't really know where we are for a couple more weeks.
What exactly has Cllr Karen Dansuck done wrong?
Expectations management with turncoat carswell merely 32% ahead of the tories in the Lord A poll (56% vs 24%), what is a 'romping' majority and what is a closer than expected majority in %age terms?
Thinking how that might affect the Rochester BIGGIE rumble on betfair.
Possibly could become commonplace if Lab continue to say and do nothing and the Tories try to con the electorate with their bizarre 'deficit amnesia' strategy.
2 points. 33-34%=the new "core". Seven months to go.
Also you reversed the Labour and Conservative poll shares when you put them into Electoral Calculus. With a 34-32 lead Labour have a UK majority of 24.
35% is the winner. Every one who has done it has been PM.
Hardly surprising given Labour's silence on everything and the Tories' shambolic deficit amnesia and lies over "paying down the debt".
Street-Porter said she felt "ashamed" that Danczuk believed she could be a role model to girls in Rochdale as well as "getting your assets out on a Friday night and posting a picture"

That this House believes that the Daily Mail's coverage of the promotion of women to the Cabinet hits an all time low in terms of media sexism; further believes that women MPs across the political spectrum should be judged on their intelligence, expertise, track record, policies and skills rather than on their hair styles, body shape or where they buy their clothes; deplores the constant objectification and sexualisation of women by the media; and calls on the newly-appointed Equalities Minister to start an urgent dialogue with the industry to tackle the cumulative and discriminatory effect of media sexism, including training on how fairly to portray women and working with experts on equality and gendered violence to develop understanding of the impact of such coverage.

Ed also said that he didn’t want his sons growing up in a country where they are given the ‘perception’ that women and girls are sex objects.
The objectification of women on Page 3 reinforces this false perception of what it is to be female, daily.
Finally, he called Page 3 ‘a total anachronism’ that doesn’t have a place in the modern world. We wish we could argue that it has never had a place, but unfortunately, the 70s was a very sexist era.

Personally I don't give a toss but I'm sure there will be some unhappy campers in the red camp
Times have changed, people shop around more for everything, the internet means old brand loyalties are no longer relevant. Politics is the same. The two main parties get less votes than ever before, its been the trend for decades, as people either do not vote, or vote for smaller parties
Tories will be ok with Lab micro-poll recovery. Have shown what happens when spotlight falls on Ed/Cam contrast. Glimpse of GE campaign ..
Word count 283
Admittedly this post would have looked more impressive if it was a little bit higher.
Right-wingers on here writing the New Statesman and/or the Guardian by accident. Hmm.
We can't *pay down the debt* until we kill off the deficit Labour left behind.
Right now we're spending 5 weeks wages every month. We need to be spending less than a month's wages to even start to nibble away at the national debt.
You know this, we all know this on here. Why make yourself look financially illiterate when it's untrue?
It's not fooling anyone.
(Edited because I added an E - Lol)
She appears to have taken photos of herself wearing clothes. What's your point?
As I pointed out below, Socrates simply transposed the Labour and Conservative poll shares. A simple mistake that all of us will have made from time to time.

According to that link I posted, he made the same mistake previously, and this time he was using notes?
http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/david-cameron-criticised-dodgy-debt-4374387
I believe that assets are very rarely taken into account when assessing the debt level of a country.
Perhaps Cameron "misspoke" in a similar way to Miliband "forgetting", but he has managed to misspeak in exactly the same way before, so it looks like he is trying to be misleading.
We need to fix 3.5% of Goverment spending, even if we don't structurally grow surely the Civil Service can make 1% efficiency gains a year. What say the lefties here - is it absolutely impossible to do this? When private industry does so much more?

As I have said many times on here before TSE, as long as Tories like you are willing to support a party that has elected officials in it like Ken "with a bit of luck you'll get Aids" Gregory you are in no position to criticise other parties who also have lunatics supporting them.
And there is a the difference for you. Alan Craig is just a member (although I wish he were not). Ken Gregory is STILL an elected Conservative councillor years after he was given a police caution for his offensive homophobic phone calls.
Put bluntly you, like so many other Tories, are a hypocrite.
He's been officially reprimanded for this deception by the head of the Statistics Agency. Just because Labour politicians are as bad or worse when it comes to this sort of thing doesn't mean you should let him off the hook about it.
Deficit appears 5x. Cutting the deficit was essential x2; Miliband not mentioning it; Labour's legacy as the biggest since WW2 and what will happen if Labour get back in.
I think some on here are indulging in wishful thinking that Cameron claimed anywhere in his speech that he was lying about *paying down the debt*.
Here it is > blogs.spectator.co.uk/coffeehouse/2014/10/david-camerons-speech-to-the-conservative-conference-full-text/
The councillor you mention should be sacked at the very minimum. Once I've finished writing the morning thread I'll email/tweet CCHQ and ask why he is still in the party.
I know there are many kippers (including your good self) who like me wince when our party members come out with rubbish like this.
My main objection to this chap is his poor knowledge of history.
Considering what the Nazis did to the Gays, Gaystappo is so many kinds of wrong.
Plus Ebola and it's variants on the loose. Have your own nightmares on that.
If the winter is cold, with the atomic and coal powered stations off line - and, please, do not give me the s**t about wind power, during the last freeze a couple of years ago, there was no wind, - then the Conservative/LibDem members will be filling their places of worship and wearing out their knee pads praying for deliverance.
Norovirus: I caught a mild variant 2 years ago. Out of action for 2 weeks and lost 2 stone in weight. As a weight loss treatment, not recommended.
Suffice to say sexual objectification doesn't differentiate on the basis of who is the originator nor is it predicated necessarily on whether someone is naked or not.
Of course from a political perspective given the nearby by-election in Heywood, the type of issues involved and the wider criticism of the Labour party over those issues it's not smart for this to come out (presumably such a flare up will make the local papers).
More importantly if I was to make a serious observation it is that I think she's daft to do it because you never know what sort of idiot weirdos are hanging about on Twitter and other social media sites! She could attract unwanted attention and I don't mean just from Janet Street-Porter,.......

"We're making Britain proud again...
Not just a country that is paying down its debts and going from the deepest recession since the war to the fastest growing economy."
Wrong. Dead wrong. A lie? Or a mistake he keeps making?
You decide.
I know that's a basic approach to take for complex financial matters, but my notoriously unreliable gut says that most people expect a good economy so when that is achieved they may not reward who is in power as it is just doing the bare minimum, and in any case they may, rightly or wrongly, not recognise the government as being responsible in any way for that improvement, particularly when downturns and not meeting targets is always blamed on global and outside factors and took so long that things seemed bound to pick up eventually.
