And I need the kippers to decline to a UK vote of 6% to win my bet with HL. I have covered this with some hedging on higher kipper bands.

30% of those who voted Lab under Brown in 2010 say they would like to do so again but Miliband is putting them off @DailyMailUK/@ComResPolls

UKIP trending down. Probably not fast enough....
Your move, Sunil
"The current government are a bunch of total muppets responsible for dreadful things, is it time for a change of government".
"Ed Miliband is a dangerous left wing Marxist with no idea what he is doing, would he make a bad PM?"

Polls could move any which way from here I reckon. Tonight's revelations re: Straw and Rifkind could boost UKIP and help SNP keep it's score.
YG any sec. From punting angle am worried they're so static at moment. Doesn't seem right.
I get the feeling things are just starting to move.
Populus - Tie
The Good Lord - Lab Lead
ComRes - Con Lead
YouGov - Tie

@jameschappers: Tonight's 2-point Tory lead in @DailyMailUK/@ComResPolls is party's biggest with ComRes since Sept 2010 #GE2015

This compares to zero in 2010 in deficit and 21 trusts in 2013

Far better for them to do it on an issue-by-issue basis. Maximum potential for causing disruption, maximum ability to campaign against the government in 2016.
Will it last we have been here several times before?
And some things are revenue neutral. If the English want to, say, keep the drink driving limit at 80mg and a Labour government without a minority propped up by some Scottish separatists wants to reduce it to 50mg, I would hope the SNP would stick to its current view of not expressing an opinion.
Anyway s&c or issue by issue doesn't really matter to yours truly...
**topline GERS the reality was likely to have been much, much higher.
@OliverCooper: UKIP are now polling their lowest since April in a ComRes poll, their lowest since September in YouGov, and their lowest ever in Ashcroft.
As well as struggling financially, FTs have now failed to meet national waiting time targets for accident and emergency, routine and cancer care for three successive quarters in the 2014-15 financial year.
The sector failed to achieve the A&E waiting time target of seeing 95 per cent of patients within four hours for the 2014 calendar year.
For the first time, ambulance FTs breached the three response time targets relating to life threatening “category A” calls.
Patients waiting on a trolley for more than four hours in A&E increased by 134 per cent to 42,600 due to reduced bed availability between October and December.
NHS clearly not a GE 2015 issue.
Gordon Brown. What a shit.
An SNP coalition would be electoral suicide for Labour both sides of the border.
Monitor said the pressure on trusts had been increased by the need to make cost savings and the use of expensive agency staff.
The use of agency workers contributed to providers spending £419m more on staff than planned in the nine months through to December, but the £810m in cost savings made by the FT sector was £210m less than planned.
As forecast the Acute Sector is fooked!!
Within the Union there is no such thing as Scotlands money.
It is one of the things about a Union you pool resources for the benefit of all. You support the weakest, not stamp your grubby feet shouting 'it's our money. Give it back you big bully!'
For a nation that claims to be altruistic it is very sad to see.
The best way for someone in England to vote for this is to cast their X in the Green Party of E&W's box.
One thing voting for a bunch of crack pots in a European Election. Another thing to vote for them in a general election...
Better a Lab minority, and agree an EVFEL deal with the Tories.
I'm someone who would like a change of government.
From a coalition to a Tory majority government.
That doesn't even consider the utter disbelief Scotland has that there is no recognition from England at just how large the subsidy they have received is, not only is it unrecognised but the general opinion in England appears to be that it is subsidising Scotland!
Utterly ridiculous.
As the Good Lord Giveth, the Good Taketh.
Amen.
England should be given a chance to vote Scotland out of the Union.
The Greens are hardly an adequate proxy for the real thing.
I wouldn't put it past the stupid party but SLAB will have a much reduced (perhaps non-existent) voice after 7th May. Both options would hurt Labour but their core support would be hurt much less by agreeing a S&C with the SNP than handing power to the Tories.
