What the poll will actually be is another matter - could be anything from a 3 point Con lead to a 5 pt Labour lead.
There's more than one poll tonight. ComRes and YouGov. Maybe more. The closer we get to the election the more polls will start to turn up in unexpected places.
Been getting on Lab cos of value but biggest worry isn't Miliband. Its Salmond. Hate figure down south. Gotta allow for possibility that electors in England will take fright. Could be last minute.

@TheWatcher Referring to his father is not an answer certainly, but Dave surely had an interest in how his father became so successful? On the other hand, perhaps he had no interest in where the money came from, and the arrangements of the will? After all, the will would have been scrutinized by one of the leading exponents of tax avoidance schemes? Let's talk about Ed shall we?
Ed got terribly upset when the affairs of a dead father were discussed. Why not follow his shining example?
Why not instead talk about his mother? She's alive and Ed has already fingered her as the family tax avoider.
She arranged the DoV within two years of Gordon describing them as abused loopholes to avoid IHT
PB tories now attacking an 80 year old woman . There is no depths to the gutter they will sink to in the pursuit of partisan advantage .
Everyone was blaming the Miliboys for the DoV until Ed revealed that his mother was the sole culprit. And it was only being discussed at all because weird Ed again revealed himself to be a massively hypocritical shit.
Btw I am only one PB Tory.
By everyone you mean hypocritical partisan such as yourself .
Come one you drooling geriatric, you've had enough time to respond.
Ed Miliband has called for a “root and branch” inquiry into the culture and practices of Mirror Trinity Group into potentially the most extensive phone hacking of any news organisation HMRC amid allegations it failed to act over HSBC’s links to tax avoidance.
Markets don't seem to have changed much since yesterday, still the same broad prices.
Lab have drifted out.
Labour Majority 18 £9.00 £153.00
I could now lay it off at 18.0 if I wanted to ?
Yeah 16.5 earlier. May be nowt. Other day Lab drifted something stupid for no clear reason. They had a good poll.
Annoyed with myself that I didn't back Labour majority at 32.0 !
Was a lesson for me too. Thought a horror poll was coming & missed most of the value. If MS is right about punters being over-confident on Cons then value is Lab. Still looks good price. Suppose SNP flatters to deceive and Lab only lose half up there? Majority very close.

More reasons to pile in to Cumbernauld, Kilsyth and Kirkintilloch (SNP currently 1/2), though I'm sure it's not a unique story.
'Labour source says Cumbernauld seat loss would be a “humiliation”
A LABOUR member in Cumbernauld has told Cumbernauld Media that the local party branch is “seriously struggling” to find support ahead of the UK General Election, in May. Speaking to Cumbernauld Media, the CLP member described how Labour faces “humiliation” from the SNP in May’s General Election.'
Wonder if we're gonna see some return of fire on Miliband from the Sundays? Henry Manson thinks he has come of age or something. Wisdom is proved right by her actions & think its too soon to say if this attack dog approach is right. Trouble is, are Labour squeaky clean? If you're going dish dirt you need to be sure your own kind are spotless.
Calling fellow a poster a " drooling geriatric" is not acceptable.
We are tightening up moderation ahead of May 7th and comments like that will not be tolerated and lead to exclusion from site
Apologies, but I was responding to him calling me a hypocritical shite. Is that level of abuse ok?

The French ambassador, Francois Zimeray, has given a dramatic account of the attack to AFP news agency.
Quote They fired on us from the outside. It was the same intention as (the January 7 attack on) Charlie Hebdo except they didn't manage to get in.
Intuitively I would say there were at least 50 gunshots, and the police here are saying 200.
Bullets went through the doors and everyone threw themselves to the floor. We managed to flee the room, and now we're staying inside because it's still dangerous.
Welcome to transnational Islamic inspired terrorism.
Question is will the political leadership of Europe and the US have the balls to call a spade a spade or continue to play this politically correct game of talking. You cant tolerate of the intolerant who use, condone or equivocate over violence for their cause.
Interestingly the Swedish security services seem to be heavily involved in this case as well.

Our political leaders aren't going to call a spade a spade, they have elections to win. We will have the same nonsense that "this has nothing to do with Islam" and overstating the dangers of backlash...
Only Sajid Javid (and Douglas Murray) actually called it as it is.

How many of the above promoted violence? Yet you can see exactly who, if they were killed by Islamic extremists, certain sections of the so called European liberal, progressive nobodies would quite happily wring their hands over.
An Islamic school is "undermining British values" and "limits girls to knitting and sewing" in technology classes, Ofsted inspectors say.

And yet Harman assumes women are still wedded to the kitchen table, hence the pink van tour, and Farage has made comments that could be construed as similarly sexist. Interesting times.

I think the sad truth is that if you are militant enough the British establishment will appease you and give you special privileges, not enforcing the law when you break it and possibly passing special laws to protect you. The quid pro quo is that the British Establishment stay on their perch and keep their wealth. The other British people can suffer if needed.
This is what islamic militants, feminists ie suffragettes, homosexual activists, Sinn Fein / IRA, various rabble rousing racial militants and the trade unions have in common.
The most serious failure the establishment suffered in this regard was failing to get the Lord Halifax to replace Chamberlain and fudge an agreement with Hitler and instad having the outsider Churchill as PM with total war and much destruction of establishment wealth power and assets resulting.
David Cameron maintains his lead as the major party leader with the highest net approval rating. The Prime Minister is on -1% versus -29% for Labour leader Ed Miliband, -40% for Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg and -21% for UKIP leader Nigel Farage. This is the highest score for David Cameron for three years.

Trident: One good thing that could come out of SNP holding the balance of power will be to put into touch for another 5 years any decision on Trident. After all, that is what the Lib Dems did in 2010.
The SNP position is on Trident, not nuclear weapons ! Britain is still adequately protected by nuclear weapons, if we need them at all.
Oops, I forgot we are a world power with 6 aircrafts bombing the hell out of IS in Iraq ! And, 2 aircraft carriers with aircrafts on them. The Harriers having been sold for scrap metal.
The plural of aircraft is aircraft
Absolutely correct, you sad Tory ! In fact, I meant to say, "2 aircraft carriers with NO aircraft on them."
Thanks for pointing it out, Gunslinger !
"2 aircraft with No aircraft on them". Thanks to Gordon Brown for letting contracts to build stuff whereby it is cheaper to build them than to cancel them. It's called "pork barrel" for the constituents.

Must be an outlier? Ed must have lost support due to Dodgy-Gate, surely?
More likely than any great swings in actual poll numbers is the entrenching of votes on both sides. We have seen it here - dislike of the other side on both sides is much more palpable than it has been. There must be an election on the way.

Well Labour have not really got any noticeable boost from the last week, BUT at this point in the electoral cycle, any week with no movement is essentially a small win for Labour.
Their "firewall" is still incredibly small though, so they're going to have to keep proactive right up until May to hold onto the 33-35% they currently have. They can't afford any more drifts into inertia or allow themselves to get trapped into an unwinnable dutch auction about spending cuts again.
The Tories still have a very strong chance of getting most seats, but for them to get a majority (which I thought was very real chance a while ago), they would probably be having to establish consistent leads by now.

Yesterday I semi jokingly said Cameron doesn't have to worry about the voters he has to worry about the mob with pitchforks.....
Today on Any Questions I've rarely heard more raw anger. The public are incensed. Osborne's plan-getting a bunch of billionaires to say Labour wouldn't govern in their interests-was lunatic from the word go. Then to allow his party treasurer-Hedge fund donor and billionaire Lord Fink-threatening to sue was to pour kerosene on it.
The two big losers will be the Tories and UKIP. Both who look like they're on the wrong side of this very clear line. The next few polls will be interesting
Funny. I heard it too, and as much anger was directed at Salmond and Harman as anyone else.
Anna Soubry's good isn't she?
You're kidding. Salmond had a wonderful reception getting by far the biggest cheers and the audience seemed to have a genuine appreciation for his humour.

More reasons to pile in to Cumbernauld, Kilsyth and Kirkintilloch (SNP currently 1/2), though I'm sure it's not a unique story.
'Labour source says Cumbernauld seat loss would be a “humiliation”
A LABOUR member in Cumbernauld has told Cumbernauld Media that the local party branch is “seriously struggling” to find support ahead of the UK General Election, in May. Speaking to Cumbernauld Media, the CLP member described how Labour faces “humiliation” from the SNP in May’s General Election.'
"“Most voters see this as being political opportunism; there’s an election coming up and we look set to lose heavily, therefore people see our rigorous campaigning as us trying to save the jobs of people like Gregg McClymont.”"
So basically a Labour hack is admitting that the electorate is clued up enough to recognise that campaigning by Labour at this point (perhaps the only campaigning they've ever seen from Labour for a Westminster election) looks exactly like what it is - desperate fire fighting.
This shows how truly fucked Labour are. Even campaigning will only make things worse.

Conclusion never take less the average of five Scottish sub samples to show the trend . On that basis, if anything, the SNP lead is going up on both YouGove and Populus.
I agee with Dair on Any Questions which I heard today. If that is the warmth of reception Salmond gets in London he must be pretty popular in Scotland.

I could now lay it off at 18.0 if I wanted to ?
So no Populus?
I think on Monday we get ICM don't we? That will be enlightening as always...
And how has my annoyance at that got anything to do with "PB Tories" being "rattled"?

Don't believe any of them.
Lab on 33.8%
Con on 32.6%
When you looked at the sub-samples, had the Tories in the lead in Scotland and the North of England, and Lab ahead in the South of England.

After all, we've had five years of banks and taxes, and no one seems to care.

And the Tory numbers went down after the 2012 budget.
That is the moment that the transfer to UKIP began in earnest.
