    Conservative 41% (-3)
    Labour 34% (+1)
    Liberal Democrat 9% (-1)
    Scottish National Party 5% (+1)
    Green 5% (+1)
    Reform UK 3% (–)
    Other 2% (-1)

    Changes +/- 21 June

    On those numbers Labour would hold Batley
    The one thing I'm pretty sure of is that Labour won't hold Batley.

    Big Tottenham Hotspur takeover news; They have been bought by a billionaire from Dubai. The deal has been rumoured for some weeks now and will be announced formally next week . Reports suggest the billionaire is Sheik Hanvak. He is going to put the freshness back into the club.

    Gosh, I skim read that and thought the billionaire Rishi Sunak had bought Tottenham Hotspur.

    We are starting to see a few signs that Tories numbers are down a bit, has been average of ~43% for so many months now. The big difference again is always the Labour number, is it ~30% or is it ~36%, or somewhere in between.
    The LibDems also appear to have moved from 6-7% to 8-10% on the back of C&A - the question is whether that is sustained, or whether they'll drift back down again.

    How would they have done in Hartlepool on the contemporary (contemporaneous?) National polling? Lose by 28%? Redfield & Wilton had a 2% Tory lead at the time
    There was a far bigger Brexit Party vote in Hartlepool in 2019 though, 25% for the Tories to squeeze compared to just 3% in Batley and Spen
    But don't forget the Woollens voters. One would like to, but they are very much still there.

    The biggest thing in Hartlepool was Conservatives hoovering up the BXP vote. Apply the same principle here with both BXP and the Wollies (who seem to be even more right-wing populist) and this ought to be a walk in the park for the Conservatives.

    The Shocking New Use for Red Telephone Boxes

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ecVHYg4_vZw

    Around here several have become leave and take kiosks for things like unwanted books, excess garden veg etc. Community councils seem to keep them in some sort of order.

    Edit, 55 years ago it was very different. At Worthy Down, just outside Winchester there was an army base with a lot of Scots including my father. On a Saturday night there would be a queue down the street as everyone phoned home and passed the weekly news. It was not the done thing to use more than about 3 coins and those who were thought to have done so would receive a tut on the way out. Probably had more trouble getting served in the NAAFI shop too. As a young kid this is how I spoke to my Grand parents who were in phone boxes in Dundee. No one had a phone in their house in those days and the idea you might have one in your pocket would have been laughable.
    58 years and a couple of days ago I had to send a telegram (remember them) to my in-laws, who didn't have a phone, advising them of the birth of their first grandchild. Mother-in-law didn't like phone boxes so got the bus to the next town, where f-i-l worked, to tell him.

    Indeed, there is a For Britain candidate, an English Democrats candidate and a UKIP candidate on the hard right however.

    So the outcome could well depend on the Woollens not going to them rather than to the Tories and Galloway taking a large share of the Muslim vote if the Tories are to win the by election

    After the performance in the T20s I would be quite keen to be sent home from the tour myself. Really, really poor, especially with the bat. They are probably the weakest test side right now across all formats.

    Incredible if it is is legit. I struggle to believe it can be - residual brainshwashing that Labour are the good guys affecting me maybe

    Sir Keir needs to come out and say this leaflet, if it is an offical Labour leaflet, is a disgrace - he was right in what he said last year

    "We must not allow issues of the sub-continent to divide communities here”
    Yep, those with sufficient imagination all remember you praising him to the rafters when he said that.
    Oh it’s MY fault?! I see
    Your posts are, yes. There's no other way to view them. You hit the keys - and out they pop.
    I didn’t see Sir Keir say the sub continent thing last year, but it’s obviously correct. Let’s hope the leaflet is nothing to do with Labour and his hands stay clean

    Latest modelling analysis from @PHE_uk and the University of Cambridge’s MRC Biostatistics Unit suggests that the COVID-19 vaccination programme has so far prevented an estimated 7.2 million infections and 27,000 deaths in England alone.

    No posting from honeymoon then. Lack of commitment there. You know that Jack Nicklaus played lots of golf on his? Yep - that's why he has 18 majors.
    Perhaps Mrs FD has put her foot down; started as she means to go on.

    Only joking. Every happiness!
    57 years of marriage and my wife did explain how she said to the 'Good Lord' just after our wedding ceremony, for 'Him' to allow her to take back her promise to 'love and obey' and she has acted, accordingly, ever since, God bless her.
    59 years and a few days; I don't think we've ever 'obeyed' each other. We've had the odd disagreement of course but always seen the others point of view

    I think spending hours on PB on honeymoon would not have gone down well with the Mrs and rightly so.

    We had a nice time though, went to lots of lovely villages and small towns, Castle Combe, Tetbury, Chipping Camden, Stow on the Wold, Chipping Norton and Sudeley Castle and Snowshill, Cheltenham and Worcester. We also had Bob Mortimer and Paul Whitehouse staying in the same hotel as us near Tewkesbury for a few days, no doubt filming something

    Victoria Derbyshire either doesn’t get it, or is actively refusing to accept that 19 July is happening.

    I presume she kept quiet about the Matt Hancock business.....
    I am not convinced about the 19th myself, especially after 22000 in the uk and 670 in Wales...
    In England for sure now, but not in the People's Republic of Drakeford, no.

    But this was all in the models. In fact, we're well under what the models predicted, I think. And the models still had us opening up. 22000 is a big number but no bigger than where we expected to be. 3 and 227 are more significant.

    Most stupid own goal ever
    The poor keeper. I hate things like that happening

    I scored an OG like that about 5 years go, passed it back from 40 yards and the keeper let it under his foot
    Why would you pass back from. near halfway? My brother told me he switched off when England did it during their last match...
    Our left back threw it to me and everyone seemed marked, so I passed it back to the keeper to start again. It trickled in

    I scored the equaliser and got sent off, match finished 2-2

    We're at about a 50-60% weekly rise in cases but about a 10% rise in hospitalisations. And as always, I'd like to point out that we still aren't being told what proportion of hospitalisations are coming from unvaccinated by choice.

    From the Covid crisis to educational near-meltdown to the Alex Salmond saga and beyond, each icy peak has been a formidable challenge to her skills of leadership and endurance.

    But the highest summit yet lies ahead and, I’m afraid, it looks increasingly likely that it will be the one to defeat her. Despite having promised her party and the wider Yes movement that there will be a second independence referendum in this parliament, she isn’t going to deliver. There won’t be a vote. There won’t be a famous victory. Scotland will continue as part of the United Kingdom.

    Contrarian aside, most will be easily persuaded that the risk of serious health impacts to letting rip in secondary schools is worse than vaccination in them.

    That ship has sailed. It is already ripping through secondary schools. It will be interesting to see the numbers of children in hospital and, god forbid, deaths in the coming days and weeks.

    I am surprised that it isn't the same in government - not the disciplinaries - but the absolute ban on non-government email accounts. It is utterly insecure and very very poor practice.

    Ministers using gmail and government departments using Chinese CCTV cameras.....you might as well just publish everything on the internet for every foreign power to see what you are up to. Save them from 10 mins of work.

    What happened? I switched to Wimbledon just beforehand.
    Most stupid own goal ever
    The poor keeper. I hate things like that happening

    I scored an OG like that about 5 years go, passed it back from 40 yards and the keeper let it under his foot
    Why would you pass back from. near halfway? My brother told me he switched off when England did it during their last match...
    Our left back threw it to me and everyone seemed marked, so I passed it back to the keeper to start again. It trickled in

    I scored the equaliser and got sent off, match finished 2-2
    What were you sent off for? Verbals?
