    F1: more or less done the blog, just prevaricating over a bet. The agony of choice!

    I've already put my money on the table.

    As always I'm looking forward to your thoughts on your blog and seeing if we're on the same page.

    Edit: I see you published at the same time as my comment. Let's take a look! :)

    So, that Labour figure. Find 32% still hard to believe when Corbyns ratings are so dire. Maybe the fact people don't expect him or Labour to win.

    Just feels..wrong.

    re: Wales - Yougov were close to accurate at the last election.

    re: Lib Dems - where will they go? On Opinium's best leader choice they break 2:1 for May over Corbyn, so if they move.....

    re: Labour's 32 - they are miles behind among 35+ and Opinium have substantially upweighted young blue collar workers because they presumably don't have many signed up to respond to political polls. It's a very dubious number because these voters are hard to reach. The Tories and Labour are close to level among young professionals.

    The idea that young white van man is voting Corbyn is hysterical.

    Yep, feels wrong to me too. Very wrong. This is all very odd.

    "young blue collar workers"

    Who probably don't vote. Guardian interviewed a couple yesterday iirc. They didn't even know name of the PM. Although one thought it was a woman.

    Anyone seen the latest poll in Wales?

    Tories leading by 75 points ?
    Tories still ahead, 41-35 but Labour picked up 4pts on last time.
    Even this one is at variance with the local election polls.
    The yougov welsh local elections poll way underestimated labour (28%) theyactually got 35% and way overestimated tories (26%) they actually got 13%, so half of what yougov were predicting.
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Welsh_local_elections,_2017
    Even from that poll, only 3 weeks back, if you add the Tory and UKIP share, it comes to 36%. How on earth, the Tories will get 40% beats me. Where were these people on the 4th of May ?
    Voting for Independents - as tends to be the case in Welsh local elections.

    Edit: Already explained.

    Mr. L, I agree. The Conservatives have been far too soft on Corbyn.

    It could be that they are waiting to time it - there are still almost 4 weeks to go - and no line can be sustained for anywhere near that long.

    Manifestos this week coming up so maybe they go big on Corbyn's defence record the week after.

    They also have to ensure the Monarchy question gets asked - I guess Andrew Neil may ask it in his Corbyn interview.
    He should tell Andrew Neil he watches The Crown on Netflix and likes leaders who stay in place well into their nineties.
    He should just tell the truth. The monarchy is an outdated relic, but there is no intention to abolish it.
    Much like the Labour party?
