I’m not attaching too much importance to voting intention polls at the moment. Firstly we are still waiting for the review by the British Polling Council of what went wrong with the May 7th surveys. That is due out in March and is likely to make important proposals about the way polls are conducted

But they may hang fire until after the leadership election result
So this lady has been purged, I guess:

Am I sitting in the wrong web page?
"These are my principles and if you don't like them, well, here are some others."
No wonder he's the Mirror man.
Recently we have had Cameron, Brown, Blair...there is clear evidence of bias here. Look at the Labour candidates, Burnham, Cooper, Corbyn and the token gesture of Kendall, clear evidence of favouritism.
Major got half way but it is now 24 years and counting since the second half have had a PM. Something ought to be done. I am sure Burnham would agree, only...not yet
And that is a good thing.
Apparently.
Still pretty awful, mind. And that's before the Conservatives have broken their self-denying ordinance of keeping quiet during the motorway pile-up that is the Labour party election campaign.
What??
Too many excuses for failure (even if it is failure, which isn't guaranteed).
It'll be hard for Corbyn to have a honeymoon period as Labour themselves are divided over whether they want him as leader and his appeal is limited.
Mind you, at this rate - Burnham will definitely be the most below average leader Labour never had.
Polls in the summer of 1983, 1987, 1997 and 2001 would have told the same story. I believe even in June 1992 the Conservatives were 15% ahead so it's no guide whatsoever and as we've seen in the past few days, perturbations elsewhere can have dramatic impacts here.
Like all political leaders, Corbyn, if elected, is going to need a bit of luck. A Ministerial resignation here, a by-election there and suddenly everyone will rally round - it's the nature of the political beast.
Nothing has happened to see the election dynamic - if you voted Conservative, there's no reason not to vote Conservative now. There will of course be a midterm of some description but my guess is we're looking at the winter of 16-17 before that gets going, unless something dramatic happens before then.

He did win 2003 council elections much more convincingly
As far as I can see the papers and the tories haven;t even started on Jezza's 'let them come you effing racists' immigration policy.

Nigel Farage is trying to block Suzanne Evans from becoming Ukip candidate for Mayor of London with a covert campaign to install a less threatening, loyal party colleague in her place, sources have told Coffee House.

"You snobs! You stupid... stuck-up... toffee-nosed... half-witted... upper-class piles of... pus!"
I think people only praise her so highly as a alternative way of slighting Farage.. I cant think what she has done to be so highly thought of by non kippers
Peter Whittle would be the best choice for UKIP I reckon.
(I wrote that without reading the article by the way!)

You should have said: "Gives Mike and ME an excuse to use this picture in a future thread."
You and Mike are the OBJECTS of that sentence!
#hypercorrection
Easy way to work it out is to omit "Mike" and see if "Gives me an excuse" or "Gives I an excuse" is correct.
I agree with you that she's not obviously a Mayoral candidate but one way or another UKIP need to sort all these briefings out or they're going to miss a very big post-Corbyn opportunity.

The Partition of India just like Iraq, is another example of brown people dying in the hundreds of thousands due to Labour's incompetence.

I was set this question yesterday, and I thought the answer was Lord Cowdrey, but it isn't.
Which member of the House of Lords, past or present, had the highest test cricket average.
I suspect Dave will make a grand gesture and say something like
"Hands up if you wanted Corbyn as Labour leader?"
I suspect the Conservative hands in the air will significantly outnumber the Labour hands
