I expect this has been commissioned in the same way that most management consultancy is commissioned: the results will be well-known in advance but they will be used to bolster the position of the person who has commissioned it.

If, as reported, "no-one is supposed to know about it", and "Even the people who signed off the contract aren’t allowed to see the questions, let alone the results" then who will be 'bolstering' Corbyn's position, as no-one will have seen the poll?

I didn't name Jeremy Corbyn.

The Mirror did. The first sentence of Mike's piece states "The Mirror is reporting that Corbyn has commissioned a 10k sample poll to get views on his own future."

@mkhammer Not the press's job to Trumpsplain to the public. Take his words and report on them. They don't need to see what's in his heart!

I'm sure I am being dim, but what does that mean?

That the MSM pervert his words to mean what they want - in preference to reporting them.

The whole MSM tone is to insult him as stupid, and his voters. I've seen a dozen UK MSM claim he lied about a Swedish terrorist attack - he never said anything like this - but they're glorying in a strawman they made up to knock him.

He brought up Sweden to prod millions into Googling it. And yet again, it worked.

Anyone daft enough to believe what the MSM say is naive.

Interesting fact that I heard the other day. USA is the only country where the reported rape rate of males is higher than females. Apparently this is accounted for by the very high incarceration rate in the USA.

A few years ago I read a report on American prisons, and the view of American prison officers was that prison rape was one of those things prisoners had to deal with. If they didn't want to get raped, they shouldn't commit crimes.

Yes, it's considered part of the punishment.

Some US prisons sound like hellholes. Both the ones where you get raped by the other inmates, and the ones where you get locked up in solitary confinement in sound-proofed cells.

Conservatives defended 7 seats in Jan/Feb held 2 lost 5 1 to Inds 4 to Lib Dems . 4 more seats being defended this week

With all due respect I think the Tories will take losing a few parish councils on low turnouts if they can win a big Westminster majority. The Lib Dems are the party for Richmond Park but these figures suggest the Tories are a national party (and that now includes Scotland).

Ha Ha Ha , yes 1 MP a party makes right enough.

The Tories were the second party in Scotland even at the 2015 general election, and they've strengthened since then.

They were third in 2015, unfortunately.

Mr. Loud, welcome to the site (same chap as Mr. Cloud, perhaps?).

But surely it is the job of the media to report and interpret, not to print verbatim; they are not just taking minutes.

I heard what he said re Sweden. True he did not say a terrorist attack, but he did refer to what had just happened. An event that had just occurred while talking about the dangers of uncontroled immigation. What event was this then?

You say he brought up Sweden to prod millions into googling it. How do you know that and why?

You object to media interpreting what he is saying yet you are suggesting we are to interpret his meanings like you do or he is setting deliberate traps with his words that the left fall into.

Aren't there logical contradictions there.

I'm unsure why you appear to wish to blame Obama for this. You might want to at least partially blame the gun-obsessed Republicans.

Who was president for the last 8 years?

Obama. And as the article (and others) show, the crime figures over his period in office are mixed. Better in some cities, worse in others, but with generally low figures.

In fact, congratulating or blaming any president might be rather silly, as there are long-term falls that might have little directly to do with federal policy. As an example:

There's a gallery for MPs, or they can watch from the bar. I didn't know that Privy Councillors can actually take a seat there?

I still think it's a very British quirk that the only person not permitted to set foot in the House of Commons is the Queen. Trump? Sure. Putin? Certainly. The Queen? Heavens, no.

A quick google search doesn't reveal very much.

I think we lack the prison gang culture which helps to fuel rape, and our prison staff are much less vindictive than those in the US.

He did the same with Clinton and uranium. The fact checkers went into overdrive saying he lied, and that she didn't give away 20% of the US supply of uranium. No they cried, she gave away 20% of the US production of uranium.

But it wasn't that either, and the links are hardly conclusive.

Still, it's not as funny as Plato's claim that it was plutonium ...

I believe the argument is she had to sign off on the deal as Secretary of State. Agree it is tenuous, but it has gone from a story hardly anyone knew about to be splashed all over the internet.

If the Tories are seriously going to come within a sniff in Stoke then it isn't 1983 Labour are looking at for a historical parallel, it is Arthur Henderson's 1931 result.

Interesting fact that I heard the other day. USA is the only country where the reported rape rate of males is higher than females. Apparently this is accounted for by the very high incarceration rate in the USA.

A few years ago I read a report on American prisons, and the view of American prison officers was that prison rape was one of those things prisoners had to deal with. If they didn't want to get raped, they shouldn't commit crimes.

Jesus christ. We've all probably, in a moment of weakness, considered that if someone bad has bad things happen to them in prison, that's justice, but I'd hope when reflecting, like in a report, that wouldn't come out.

Bath Chronicle conduced survey in February if voters changed minds in Bath since the Referendum, result below:-:

14% of Out Voters now changed to Remain
2% of Remain now Out.

I repeated nationally ...........

Bath was overwhelmingly Remain....14% of not a lot is not a lot.

Interesting - was that all over, or were you mainly in the Hanley Park & Shelton ward/Penkhull (Which looks to me where the Lib Dem vote might be best)

Any word on how many plane tickets wee pretendy Milo has coughed up for so far?

Mr. Pulpstar, anyone who got on the blues at 51 will be feeling rather splendid. Although surely the Popebishop of Romebury will win?

Mr. Dixie, which part of Sweden? Just curious.

20 minutes outside Stockholm and Malmo his friends tell him.

Interesting, since Stockholm and Malmo are about 4 hours apart?

One of the issues in the Nordic countries is the big gap in employment rates between the native born and non-native born (something mercifully Britain does better at):

Amazing what a truncated axis does!

Though worth noting that the employment rate of Swedish migrants is nearly bang on the same as native born Americans.

Perhaps the socially conservative, workshy, quick to anger, native born Americans have more in common with Swedish immigrants than they care to admit!

I don't see what is wrong with the truncated axis when the whole point is to look at the differences between the two sets?
