politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Round up of 65+ polling on the man 56% of his backers think is going to lead LAB to a GE victory

A few days ago I Tweeted a 65+ breakdown from a recent poll and found myself being attacked for highlighting a small sample subset with all the inherent possibilities for distortion. Fair enough.

Indeed. More questions than answers so far, who's been protecting him? Is it that he's always been very quick to reach for his learned friends, and now the press have caught him red handed with something he can't deny?

SouthamObserver · September 2016

The Tories look after their client vote very well. Throw in Corbyn and it will be a bloodbath.

dr_spyn · September 2016

Corbyn is one of the worst political speakers I have had the misfortune to hear, with a wooden delivery of interesting far left Labour history facts. Abbott was almost as bad, but thankfully her speech was comparatively brief. Both of them know how to reach out to the faithful, but appear to be incapable of appealing to floating voters. The Jezza rally was rather like a religious revivalist meeting of Methodists or CofE happy clappy Alpha Groupies. I made my excuses and left.

GIN1138 · September 2016

If there's a by-election in Leicester East within the next few months could "The Prince Across The Water" be lined up for a safe Lab seat?

Or how about Mr Strictly?

CarlottaVance · September 2016

The other factor is that the over 65s have experience of left wing Labour in practice, unlike Corbyn's more youthful enthusiasts...

The Vaz story is going to run and run...normally it would be damaging for Labour - but in current circumstances it's nowt but a flesh wound...

So England reach par - should be a good game with scoreboard pressure.

England scrape 300, should be game on for the visitors from here, thus vindicating their decision to bowl first.

He's just a very strange person. Always has been... Just one of those really "odd" characters that you find in politics in all parties. I would suspect it's kind of factored in with him that pretty much anything could come out about him at any time.

The Japanese remarks are aimed as much at the EU as the UK - per the document title. Similarly, the USA are making it clear that they want no shenanigans - they're pissed off with us and the Germans for making a mountainous fuck up out of a molehill.

I completely agree that they're picking on the new girl though

So the next question is do Momentum have a strong presence in his constituency?

Assuming it is a religious part of Leicester the gay element may be unhelpful to him.

Edited to add:

The obvious source is the other attendees at the 'party' for cash. The Mirror may not be the obvious outlet, but they were reported as East European, so may not know our press and the leanings they have.

I confess to thinking the Janner stuff was a bit after-the-fact and overblown re Vaz/Elm House home.

Now - it looks awfully dubious.
Go and have a look at Janner's close associates....
Jim the washing machine salesman will fix it - for you, and you and you!
Is that Jim the washing machine salesman who has a wife making her living as a Solicitor?
I recognised the name of his legal chappy on Twitter earlier - Stephen something IIRC. Anyone know his background?
I understand he has the same solicitor as Julian Assange
That's it! Well spotted.
All on an MP's salary!!!!
Doesn't he own 5 houses? The new Meacher - he left something like £5m in his will!!!!

Washing machine sales really pull in the big bucks.
Under the circumstances described in the Mirror story, is the term 'Big Bucks' a double entendre?

Ride 'em cowboy!

Comrade Speedy, don't worry! I am sure Chairman Corbyn has another eminently suitable person in mind to occupy the seat that will surely be vacated by the unwanted Blairite, ex-Comrade Vaz.

Vaz is a faction of his own though.

But the scandal is definitely a part of Labour's internal war, the N.E.C. was about to discuss reinstalling shadow cabinet elections in order to diminish Corbyn's authority to a minimum.

Since the balance of power on the N.E.C is very fine, with a Corbyn majority of 1 or 2, the Mirror getting rid of Keith Vaz may alter that fine balance.

Mr. Max, I'm intrigued to see how Honda do next year.

Yes, so am I. They seem to be getting their ducks in a row quite well, I'm hoping that all the engine manufacturers can be competitive with Mercedes and we'll get back to driver vs driver action rather than just engine power and tyre strategy deciding the races.

Morris_Dancer · September 2016

Mr. Max, the tyres are unforgivable.

Trying to reproduce a certain Canadian race when the tyres went off the boil (and it was genuinely exciting) was always going to fail, and they've persisted with it for years.

The story is a few months old.
I think I know why the story is breaking now and from the Mirror.
Keith Vaz is on the N.E.C.
But the Mirror hate Corbyn.

I know, getting rid of Vaz makes sense only if the Mirror is sure that his replacement is an unreconstructed blairite.

Vaz was pretty much a swing vote on the N.E.C.

I doubt it that the Mirror did this to force Vaz to resign from his commons seat for Ed Balls, forcing him out of the N.E.C. is more plausible.

Strictly Come Dancing's series launch got an average of 9.3 million viewers on Saturday night - a record audience for an opening episode of the show.

The audience peaked at 10.1 million as the BBC One show's 14th series began, with celebrities and professional dancers meeting for the first time.

Someone will tell them to do a story on the plight of dead seagulls shortly - perhaps regurgitating oil covered tuna or deceased polar bears.

Indeed. It's said that Honda have made a major change to their engine which puts it up with the Ferrri if not the Mercedes, but they can't use it because of the silly tokens rule. It's supposed to be a development formula, so let them get on and develop!
