This morning alongside Matthew Shaddick (Shadsy) of Ladbrokes I’ll be giving evidence before the Lords Committee that’s investigating political polling particularly in view of what happened at GE17.
Apologies for the negativity (I don't blame you for accepting the invitation!), but....
With respect, I really don't think polling/election predictions/psephology is something the lords should consider official business. Leave it to the electoral commission/BPC etc.
There's an insane amount of really difficult, dull but essential brexit scrutiny for the lords to be getting on with.
Hope the day goes well, anyway.
The couple of times I've seen you on TV you came across pretty well.
