The voting segment that is most hostile to BoJo – ABC1 Remainers – politicalbetting.com
The above polling is from the latest Opinium poll and shows how different groups feel about the PM based on their socio-economic grouping and what they did in the referendum. We know that ABC1s are the ones who are least enamored by the current occupant of Number 10 but because of the way Opinium presents its data we can break the segment down even more.

Which means I've spent the last 6 hours taking her back to Windermere and then heading home via the Dales. Given that these are both towns I know well it's save to say that English Tourism is back in full business - everywhere in Windermere is full and both Windermere, Kendal and Hawes were completely heaving.

They are also strongly against Johnson.
Mind you, a metal fire from machining.....
Good luck to Eek Jr for her rescheduled driving test!
Have the centrists been defending a leaflet that was actually a smear campaign designed to make Labour look bad?
🏴 118,366 1st doses / 97,993 2nd doses
🏴 17,869 / 12,418

NI 2,533 / 4,378
A total of 12.6% of people who were tested for the virus were positive.

Of course many of us will still be discussing England's acrimonious exit from Euro 2020.
The vaccination program is over. We're now chasing up refuseniks and waiting for second doses to become eligible, but everyone has been eligible to get vaccinated now and mass walk in vaccinations are available no appointment necessary nationwide.
If people aren't getting jabbed yet, its because they don't want to be. And if they don't want to be, we should under no circumstances be remaining restricted to protect them.
There should be one item in Sajid's in-tray and that's saying that we are now lifting all legal restrictions. If you haven't yet had it and wish not to be infected with Covid, go get your vaccine, but the restrictions are no longer there to prevent it spreading.

If anything it will emphasis how much Batley is a have not rather than a have place.
That means in about 12-14 days*, the first vaccinations will be over - in terms of people actually trying to get vaccinated.
The supply pipeline for vaccines is months long and you can't just get an extra delivery.
So no, he can't change anything at this point.
*Yes - that assumes it doesn't tail off.
If we're lucky we might get both of course.

I really want my son to have had both jabs before he goes away for University in October. The incredible slow down in the rate of vaccination has been making me anxious about this (since he would want to have had it no later than mid September) but I hope it will still be possible.
Kind of strange how Tommy Robinson didn't show up on Saturday, because given his record you'd have thought he would be in his element. Or is the white-racist and Islamophobic extreme right not getting stuck into this one, for some reason?
Waters may take some votes that would otherwise go to the Tories - from those who previously switched from Labour or who would switch now if she weren't standing.
As to the health issues, they are not particularly onerous, according to anecdata provided by my niece and nephew, both at uni, the former with Covid now and surrounded by those with Covid, the latter surrounded by those with Covid.
Not brilliant situation but not more (at this point) than an inconvenience.
A. to stop them spreading covid to granny who was double jabbed months ago
or
B. to make a pretty negligible threat to them even more negligible?
I’m generally relaxed about a more interventionist state, but the bungs have to be transparent.

If we can get some better treatments and an updated booster jab looks like it gives even more protection (plus the news that it looks like at least Pfizer and Moderna provide many years of protection), we can beat this.
(I've probably voted LD, which is very ABC1, more often than for other parties over the past twenty years, although not recently, so I must concede I don't have much track record voting for the C2DE groups favoured parties).
“The Muslim vote has collapsed,” one activist who has campaigned locally said. “In Spen, the way the pledges are coming back is similar to Hartlepool. Currently we’re losing it by about 6,000 to 7,000 and we could be propelled into third place.""

We are giving out the vaccine in just about every way that can be thought of, for free.
The simple truth is that there are a chunk of people who won't take it. The government has tried with the recalcitrant sections of the population and is still trying. But, ultimately, we live in a world where people feel entitled to their own truth.
From the anti-vax garbage I have seen, much of it is beyond reason.

"The farce up in Batley & Spen continues. Now, Labour’s former Mayor of Kirklees, councillor Gwen Lowe, has been accused along with her husband of tearing down George Galloway posters in the constituency – to which the pair claim was a retaliatory measure against the Galloway team for removing posters of Kim Leadbeater. "
"In the video above, the pair can be seen bellowing at the Galloway supporter who caught them in the act, with Lowe restraining her furious husband before both stormed down the street. A source tells Guido the incident has now been reported to the police…"
We need to be careful of variants, but there is little prospect of a sudden emergence of a variant which completely evades the current vaccines.
It seems to me we have a better takeup than any other nation on the planet (considering Canada have authorised 12+ and we haven't).
There will be a minority of refuseniks. That is their right. They're wrong, but they're entitled to be wrong and to live with their consequences.
Turbo mate the average person who passed away from covid was 82 with two or more co-morbidities.
The big problem with flu, and thus the jabs, is it is much more of a guess what is actually going to be like in 6 months.
Are retirees classed as c2de?
The evidence to date is that none of these variants defeat the vaccine but in countries like ours where the majority of potential hosts are vaccinated the ability to do so would be a huge evolutionary advantage and any such variant would become dominant very quickly. We need to stay alert to this but the priority is to protect as many people as possible as quickly as possible.

In Batley and Spen, Labour will put you on an attack leaflet if you pose alongside Modi. In Brent North...
What are your concerns about it?

1. Something like the status quo where the Tory majority ends up about the same, or a bit bigger. Starmer resigns as Labour leader and does not become next PM.
2. Something a bit like 2015GE, where it looks close between Labour and the Tories, but the English swing behind the Tories to prevent the SNP propping up a Labour government. Starmer resigns as Labour leader and does not become next PM.
3. Something happens between now and GE to make a 1997 landslide possible, and Conservative defeat seem inevitable. Starmer prepares to enter Number Ten. The Tories ditch Johnson in their desperation and make Sunak PM. Starmer still has a chance of being the next-but-one PM.
There's simply no ideological commitment to Johnson within the PCP. It's only because they think he will help them win elections. As soon as that goes - so does Johnson - and so a Tory will be next PM.
the CCTV cameras in the office were made by Hikvision, a Chinese firm banned in the US over concerns that it could be used by Beijing as a spying tool.

WTF are the government allowing Chinese CCTV cameras anywhere near their offices? The report says the DoH is leased from a private company, but still, that should be an absolute no no.
