I would urge major caution re Con moving into the lead.
Last night's YouGov was actually a Con lead of 2 but lead was reported as 3 because Con rounded up and Lab down.
Last Tuesday YouGov had a Con lead of 2. Then Wed was a tie and Thur a Lab lead of 1.
OK, we had Ashcroft yesterday with a Con lead of 3. But we know Ashcroft is volatile and in any case Populus had a Lab lead of 2.
It MIGHT be that the Con position (vs Lab) is MARGINALLY improving - we saw that with the full ELBOW for last week and Con is off to a good start this week.
But forget any idea that Con is anything remotely like 3 ahead - if anything we are talking about a very MARGINAL improvement.
IIRC you mentioned in the past being on a Grand Jury - I''m only familiar with them as TV show scenarios - do they tend to indite or not? The Good Wife series claims that for example Chicago ones would indite a ham sandwich.
I wonder if Hillary will be charged with mishandling classified materials for having exclusively used her personal email for all her State Department work? Not! Double standards.
I have not actually been on one, but if memory serves correctly, Grand Juries do indict most of the time as they are not called unless the DA is almost certain there is a case to answer. Recently, in cases of cops killing members of the public, this has turned around a bit as DA's have developed sloping shoulders, seeking to place the 'blame' for not bringing cops to trial on the Grand Jury.
We should have it in England. Scotland could well go its own way in the next decade or two.
Most are in Scotland, who (as you say) could go their own way and take the spaceport with them.
Perhaps we should choose the Welsh one. Hmmm. What if they decide to go independent?
Perhaps its safest to pick the English one. Cornwall. Is Cornwall safe?
'Spaceport'? Is this serious? 'low cost rocket planes' ?? Yes we have heard all that before. Tell that to Richard Branson. Low cost, with all the options in the far extremes of the country?
Since the 'spaceport' will be no more than a glorified converted RAF runway I do not think there is much for Scotland to take away should it choose. I've been to Stornaway, the Outer Hebrides have some lovely windswept beaches. Is anyone at all seriously suggesting we launch rockets or 'rocket planes' from there?
You will be telling me next there is an election looming.
If it is Campbeltown, it will be RAF Macrihanish.
An interesting place. The runway is absolutely vast. Was rumoured to be a stop-off point for the top-secret Aurora spy plane. Also B-2 stealth bombers went through there after 9/11. And plenty of special forces training around and abouts.
The tin-foil hat brigade linked the Mull of Kintyre Chinook disaster to activities at Macrihanish. Who knows. If it is being put forward as a space port, that rather suggests its military status may have been downgraded.
Given there's an absolutely splendid and much-used links at the end of the runway, the tin-foil hat brigade are being whackier then usual. The UK is not like the Mid-West, where you can put a runway in the centre of a thousand square miles of desert.
Pedant time - the Midwest comprises Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota, and Wisconsin - mostly pretty good farmland.
Bit of a stretch to call the Great Plains and prairie desert, but I get your drift - no big open spaces.
I was thinking of those military installation so much loved by conspricy theorists and Hollywood. Area 51, MiB, Independence Day, Broken Arrow, er, Paul.
What's the term for that area? Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico sort of thing.

On the same scale as Midwest, those states belong to the West, but that also includes California, Oregon and Washington, plus the Mountain West. Most people would probably term those states as the Southwest, although that is not an official USG term. When we talk of southwestern cuisine, it would be those states, i.e. not including California which has its own weird and wonderful cuisine.

Rolf Harris has been stripped of his CBE according to BBC ticker.

Plato, yes a stunning image. Green woodpeckers are the ones that have the call that sounds like they are laughing. This chap could have gone up to a hundred feet and done a barrel roll - that would have given him the last laugh for sure!
To be a nerd: a barrel roll would just keep the weasel in place. You can barrel roll a plane (including Concorde) without spilling your coffee if done right. A snap roll or an outside loop would be the order of the day.
I recall watching a Carrion Crow flying across the deep valley that hosts the M6 near Tebay, Cumbria. It was halfway across when an RAF Tornado that was following the valley flew beneath it. Presumably as a consequence of the jet's vortex, the unfortunate bird completely lost the ability to fly, and was splattered by a lorry as it tumbled towards the motorway.

It was strongly rumoured that GCHQ, moved to Cheltenham because the director at the time was a bit of a lover of the nags, and the Americans had coincidentally pulled out of the hospital there, leaving it vacant at just the right time.
Wow - I hated the Sahara. All stones and boring. 50C was the average when I was there, but very chilly at night and the most exciting bit was a massive sandstorm that chased us for miles and finally overtook us.
The dust and wind was terrifying and we hid under our Landies - seeing the sky turn pinky-brown behind our convoy was fun until it hit. And one of us broke an axle in the escape. It doesn't seem real thinking back about it or the tug-of-war descent with a busted Landy from the Atlas mountains.

Andrew Neil @afneil 8s8 seconds ago High Court: between June 2002 and mid-2006, Mirror Group journalists made nearly 10,000 phone hacking calls to Orange’s voicemail platform.
Can anyone explain the complete silence from labour and hacked off over the revelation of the extent of Mirror Group papers phone hacking
Labour MP Tom Watson, a leading campaigner on phone hacking, said: "The Mirror group have admitted to what has been suspected for some time - they used to hack phones too.
"Today's revelations only make the argument stronger that the Leveson recommendations should be implemented in full.
Which Tory politicians have commented and why aren't they pushing for full Leveson
Hacked Off, the campaign for a "free and accountable" press, said the Trinity Mirror apology confirmed what it had always believed - that phone hacking was "not confined to the News of the World".
It said the move was "four years late and fails to deal with the issue of corporate responsibility, cover-ups and a continuing rejection of effective regulation and fair remedy".

Back in the late 80s before the first gulf war I worked in the Empty Quarter looking at sand dune and sabkha deposits. The hottest air temperature we records was 59 deg C. But that was not in the shade.

Anthony did an analysis of house effects a while back and from memory YouGov and Populus are pretty near the centre.
I'm a Con supporter but I'm just bored with people on here cheerleading for their own party / cherry picking data.
You have to look at all the data and in my view the Con position is at best only improving marginally.
I should have a short post up this evening about the Scottish seats in advance of relevant constituency polling from Lord Ashcroft tomorrow.

I would guess back to a tie or a lead of 1 either way.
Death Valley = *
Not worth the drive IMHO.
Of all the places I've been to - Death Valley remains my favourite - it has everything, the nps.gov/deva/planyourvisit/ubehebe-crater.htm blew me away. The winds so strong I thought my car would be sucked down, the heat was intense and more blistering than the Sahara. A life moment.
Wouldn't it have more impact on the "agenda" if they released it around 8pm?
It sounds more likely to be a UKIP fall and Lib Dem rise, if I were being forced to guess right now.
C 37 (+2) L 32 (-) LD 7 (-) UKIP 12 (-3) GRN 6 (-)
