Might Theresa May's visit to Stoke simply be in order to set expectations for Tory success so high (and hence anticipated Labour performance so low), that Corbyn cannot fail to exceed them?
He still has a chance to win both seats (and I think he will), so not sure he needs May's help to exceed low expectations, since they are already very low surely.
I agree he has a good chance of winning both, today's poll notwithstanding. The odds on Lab doing so are very generous.
Lib Dem vote could be stronger than the markets think. Don't forget all those Staffordshire University students still have postal votes from last June.
On the New Statesman podcast last week they had a reporter up there and their feeling was the student vote was going strongly to the LibDems.
a new generation who don't remember Clegg and tuition fees?
In the end, the deal on tuition fees that students got from the Lib Dems was far better than they would have got from Labour or the Tories.
There's so much going on here - one wing of Never Trump have revolting smeared Milo

Dozens of journalists will make a giant fuss, again - and catnip what Trump wants - again
Donald J Trump Give the public a break - The FAKE NEWS media is trying to say that large scale immigration in Sweden is working out just beautifully. NOT!

I'm rather enjoying this. And the MSM freaking out/misrepresenting what Trump said re Sweden.
His remark has resulted in millions Googling 'Sweden rape'. Iain Martin made a very silly smug blunder against Paul Joseph Watson and got squished.
Trump's bully pulpit is setting the agenda.
It's a bit of a stretch to say that he was misrepresented when "what happened last night in Sweden" actually means 'what I saw some guy on on Fox say a couple of nights back about Sweden'.
If he bared his arse on national TV, I'm reasonably sure you'd still be enthusiastic about his 'setting the agenda'.
Still you admit it was right , though you try to make it a stretch
No, it was English understatement. A foreign concept, I know. :-) Next time I'll just say 'complete bollocks' for clarity's sake.
LOL, much simpler, if you want to be polite you can say cobblers
