This means that the Tories have double digit leads in four of the five polls since Theresa May became PM. Clearly she is enjoying a honeymoon bounce but, on top of that, she is facing a Labour party that appears to be at war with itself.

Says tragic that TimesPoll shows Lab voters prefer May to JC
Snigger.
Which is an improvement on Corbyn's Venezuela...
Jeremy Corbyn led Labour Party = The Bulgars
The 2020 General Election = The Battle of Kleidion
But don't forget what happened after Basil II died.
Edited extra bit: also, Kleidion*
The Labour Leader of Camden council accused me of being sexist for calling Theresa May's reshuffle the night of the long kitten heels.
What say you now!
Might just be enough to smash him right up.
Basil, Brush, I'll get my coat
*I never forget
As regards the Greeks, yes that was pretty bad behaviour. Although I don't think all the blame should be laid at Goldman's door: ultimately, they were asked to do something by their clients, the Greek government, i.e., to find a way of issuing debt that would not be included in calculation of debt-to-GDP. How is that different from whichever consultant advised HM Treasury that PFI schemes enabled the government to spend money (and run up debts) that would not be included in the government debt-to-GDP numbers?
Westminster voting intention (Scotland n=154)
Con: 23
Lab: 11
LibD: 3
UKIP: 6
SNP: 53
I know its a subsample, but have the Tories ever been more than double Labour (and more than half the SNP(!)) before?

PB is just reflecting the utter chaos that is the Labour Party today. They are the party that is engaged in the most bitter and violent period in modern political history. It is utterly shameful that a party that used to stand for something has become this current mess.
However, to my right-wing ears if somebody had played the speech and told me it was from a Labour conference in 1978, I'd have believed them. Must have mentioned 'workers' over 50 times; 'workers rights' 20 times. Firm belief in the Magic Money Tree.
EDIT: Looking at the photos, it clearly sounded more professional than it looked!
"The first criticism is an odd one. When someone sells you insurance they are selling you something, and then betting against it happening."
We prefer to call it "reinsuring", not "betting against"......

Lab leader hopeful Owen Smith denounces "misty eyed romanticism about a revolution" and calls for a "cold eyed and practical revolution".

Edited extra bit: he won't have much impact at the next team he goes to (assuming he does go to a new team) in the 2017 season, but for 2018, his presence would be a significant benefit.
Goldman Sachs was fined $550 by the SEC for selling debt to one customer whilst arranging for another customer to profit from a fall in the value of that same debt.
See BBC at http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-10656699
"The SEC charged Goldman with failing to disclose "vital information" that one of its clients, Paulson & Co, helped to choose which securities were packaged into a mortgage portfolio that was then sold to investors in 2007.
It claimed Goldman did not disclose that Paulson, one of the world's largest hedge funds, had bet that the value of the securities would fall.
The SEC alleged that investors in the mortgage securities, packaged into a vehicle called Abacus, lost more than $1bn (£650m) in the US housing market collapse.
All of that $1bn was then paid out to Paulson, who - unknown to the investors - stood on the other side of the deal as a "short" investor in the deal."
@GerriPeev: What did Owen Smith want for lunch? Fish and chips. Apparently he loves a good battering
And in any case the French don't appear to think much of Hollande's response to the terrorism they have been suffering.
Isn't it Monty Python's?
He might do some part time consulting for a British based team
Dare I ask what 'WATP' means?
I think preferring Labour has been inversely proportional to people's likelihood to vote, since about the 1950s. I have no stats to back that up, but everyone on the left knows that "Tories always vote".

Personally I think a mix of LA and private is best - it's something that's best being non ideological about.
Be fair to Jezza, he has some elements of being a UK Christian. He loves their enemies.
Unfortunately, he hates them and their friends
Back in 2007, demand for mortgage backed securities was so great, that banks were creating synthetic securities for investors.
A new MP has apologised after he compared the UK government's planned public spending cuts to domestic violence.
Owen Smith, the Labour MP for Pontypridd, wrote in an online article: "Surely, the Liberals will file for divorce as soon as the bruises start to show through the make-up?"

Bad news for Vettel.
Haddocks on PB is pretty much a Morris Dancer theme (his genetically engineered Enormo-Haddock have been around since, I think, 2007/8).
BlackAdder did have an explicit reference to Haddock, "Wetter than a haddock's bathing costume" used when referring to Amy the potential bride for Prince George in series 3, which must have been early 1990s, maybe late 1980s.
This will come off as rank hypocrisy, but some people get way too worked up about political opinions, even on this place.
Plaid swift to respond to Smith's Theresa May smash/heels line. https://t.co/PM6oqzVhDU
