'Support for Conservatives in Scotland at highest ever level – Survation for the Sunday Post
Survation’s latest poll in Scotland on behalf of the Sunday Post – and one of the first polls in Scotland since Theresa May announced her intention to call a General Election – shows the Scottish Conservatives at their highest level in either a Survation Westminster or a Holyrood voting intention ever, although they are still some 15 points behind the SNP.
Ruth Davidson’s party (28%) have opened up a 10 point lead over Kezia Dugdale’s Labour (18%) in the Westminster Voting Intention, indicating that they may well be on course to gain seats in Scotland, most likely from the SNP (43%), who achieved nearly half of all votes in Scotland at the last General Election in 2015.
SNP 43%; CON 28%; LAB 18%; LD 9%; Other 2%
More than two-in-five Scots (43%) said that they agreed with Theresa May’s decision to call an early General Election, compared to a quarter (25%) who disagreed. The remainder expressed no opinion either way.
The Independence Voting Intention remains unchanged from Survation’s last poll in mid-March, with No ahead of Yes by 6 points (53% vs 47%).'
Video on Twitter of officers entering a bar and screaming at everyone to get down. Worried about gunfire or perhaps seeking assailants who have tried to disguise themselves within the crowd.
Absolutely incredible. Some polls might be encouraging, but it is all so random any could be rightincluding the most optimistic labour ones, he really might beat her, at least in the popular vote.

They say it's not THAT far away from London Bridge but not right close by... its fucking opposite London Bridge Stn?!?!
Sky are useless at this type of reporting. Clueless. BBC are actually doing a sterling job, on News 24 and radio.
Sky will just put on the air any random person who rings up claiming to be a witness. I remember there was a train crash years ago where they were regularly citing a witness claiming "at least 40 people killed". In the event there were about 3.
This sounds much bigger and more organised than Westminster.
3 armed men. Two different incidents? Gunfire and stabbings....
Complete speculation, but if you were going to split into two groups and commit two simultaneous attacks would you choose two targets so close to each others?
Possibly you would. Makes it very difficult to co-ordinate a police response i would think because they would need 360 degree vision.

To be fair, this time they collared a guy being told to go away by the police.
The election campaign just ended, really, didn't it?
I was out with my wife and a bunch of friends at Tower Hill, maybe half a mile away. If we'd turned right and walked to London Bridge for the Jubilee line instead of getting the DLR, as I'd considered...
Fuck.
Stay safe
Thanks. Home now. Waiting for news from one person from our group who left a little earlier, everyone else accounted for.
Sky have found a witness who doesn't sound credible. "Ex military" man heard gunfire preceding the incident that kicked it all off...
I know Paul Nutall has had a shit campaign, but that seems a bit desperate way of getting coverage...
He was criticised for saying we were under attack from Islamic extremism by the other leaders on Wednesday.
Angus Robertson was utterly reprehensible in his 'excuses' that white supremacy is just as bad. He had Farron, Lucas and Wood nodding along. Similarly in Question Time in Manchester last week where a man held up a Disbury Mosque leaflet and was scorned by the audience. Some politicians need to wake up and smell the coffee.

Time will tell what is going on. It sounds very ominous at the moment, but we should also consider that the police are likely to be on particular alert right now anyway. And safety first is a good approach in circumstances like this.
Sounds like they were all in the one car at the start. It's no distance at all from London Bridge to Borough Market.

I hope not. Every day that campaigning is stopped is a victory for the attackers.
I hope not, too, but people aren't going to pay much attention tomorrow and Monday. That only leaves two days.

Angus Roberston is lamentable. Vacuous value-signalling idiot. Hopefully loses his seat.

As I say, we just can't know and I think these are both plausible. My gut is that one incident spilling over to a second site is more likely - but I have no background in policing or counter-terror, so I'm speculating too.

Survation might delay the release of their Scotland poll. I remember YouGov did an earlier London poll on the day of the Manchester Arena attack, they simply stuck it in a drawer until they released it with their second one.

2 legs, 2 arms? Hmm, narrows it down a bit.
LBC has settled on 'Mediterranean'
Well the old Italians are notoriously bad drivers...
In my experience all Italian drivers are bad.
Observing traffic lights seems to be optional, and it's either foot entirely down on the accelerator or foot down on the brake.
Two or three years ago I and a colleague spent a few days in Italy talking to a potential business partner. We found his habit of driving at high speed, far to close to the car in front with his mobile phone in one hand and his satnav in the other hand as he tried to operate them both, so no hands on the wheel, somewhat unnerving.
We don't call Lisbon, "Lisboa", Cologne, "Koln", or Rome, "Roma", do we?
Bit too much post-colonial guilt there. And plenty of Bombay residents are annoyed it was renamed too.
It's not like we took an Indian city named Mumbai and changed it to Bombay agai st their wishes, iirc. Only guy I know from the place is older and calls it Bombay. Says something about shiv sena.

My brother-in-law is a City of London cop. He's just texted my wife - looks like a terrorist attack, three suspects.
Interesting that he's texted your wife and not you.
Are they having an affair?
It's her brother, you bell-end.
Kinky
Geoff - do yourself a favour and step away from keyboard

Thank you, yes. Much as we deride twitter and facebook for instantly descending into a vortex of speculation, nonsense and twaddle when this sort of thing happens - we do exactly the same on here.
I'd like to go somewhere for sensible commentary and rational analysis on a night of events but sadly PB gets just as hand-wringy as everywhere else.

It's really weird to think that somewhere which holds such happy memories for me, as I'm sure it does for lots of you, as Borough Market and London Bridge has been the target of an attack.
'23:35 Nick Brandon of the BTP's force control room has told the Press Association he had received reports of an incident possibly involving a knife and a vehicle'
Seems like people are reporting stabbings, not gunfire. Gunfire likely from police. Good-ish news at least.
My lovely, funny, witty, brainy older daughter, age 11, has intense social anxiety and a slightly autistic fear of crowds. "Daddy will we get murdered in town"??
That's the kind of question she asks. We assure her she is being paranoid.
We took her to Borough Market to help her deal with this. She had a lovely time and we all made bread in the market and then she and me had a sweet picnic on Regent's Park.
A gorgeous day.
Tomorrow she will wake up and read and hear this news, and know that she was in the very bar that got shot up by these fucking scum. And she will think her fears are genuine.
It's a tiny tiny thing. It's not a tragedy for us. Our trauma is microscopic compared to people who have been actually hurt, or killed.
But Jesus this hits home because it menaces my kids and enough, enough, enough. We have to fight back.

BBC News saying that Police are searching for three individuals that may be armed. Fucking hell!
Gawd.. and if the police don't have a proper cordon they could easily get out.
Or are already out. While the river is a natural border, in the 5 mins before police arrive they could have easily made it far enough away to lose yourself in the crowds.

Let's not get carried away. Terror is supposed to terrorise. Don't be terrorised. The MO of anyone committing a vehicle weapon attack is now to dismount the vehicle and continue the attack. That's what it looks like here. Not great, obvs, but not Mumbai either.
People must be street aware always now...is the sad reality.

The Bombay/Mumbai thing was pure politics by the Indian Nationalists. As is entirely their right of course but the funny thing is of the 4 Indian friends I have who live in Bombay they all call it Bombay and take the piss out of me if I call it Mumbai.
It is a source of constant argument within the city itself with the split being along political and some social lines. It is not the same as Bejing where all the locals actually call it that.

We're already terrorised. If it leads to overreaction or over cautious non reaction, we've still been terrorised.

'Support for Conservatives in Scotland at highest ever level – Survation for the Sunday Post
Survation’s latest poll in Scotland on behalf of the Sunday Post – and one of the first polls in Scotland since Theresa May announced her intention to call a General Election – shows the Scottish Conservatives at their highest level in either a Survation Westminster or a Holyrood voting intention ever, although they are still some 15 points behind the SNP.
Ruth Davidson’s party (28%) have opened up a 10 point lead over Kezia Dugdale’s Labour (18%) in the Westminster Voting Intention, indicating that they may well be on course to gain seats in Scotland, most likely from the SNP (43%), who achieved nearly half of all votes in Scotland at the last General Election in 2015.
SNP 43%; CON 28%; LAB 18%; LD 9%; Other 2%
More than two-in-five Scots (43%) said that they agreed with Theresa May’s decision to call an early General Election, compared to a quarter (25%) who disagreed. The remainder expressed no opinion either way.
The Independence Voting Intention remains unchanged from Survation’s last poll in mid-March, with No ahead of Yes by 6 points (53% vs 47%).'
