Lord Ashcroft has polled the Uxbridge and South Ruislip constituency, about Boris, and it generally makes for great reading for the Mayor of London. The phone poll was conducted this week.

First (semi) acknowledgement that your fraudulent independence campaign has hit the buffers. I don't know whether to be pleased or feel slightly sad.
Truth will out. And the endgame is that Britain will be independent and whole -not balkanised by self-serving EU sycophants like Salmond stoking division for their own gain.
You are not too bright are you. You swallowed your student union card again, next you will be telling me you are manning the barricades.
I've reinvesting my winnings.
On the following accumulator, Everton, Hull, Spurs, Stoke and Sunderland all to win today.
£10 gets you around £1,300
Flightpath saying UKIP smashed in Knights Hill is like saying Labour smashed in Hans Town.
Just looked in at the Death Match. That Andy Cooke is a clever fellow, you'll never make money betting against him at Diplomacy.
Which reminds me, TSE you need to give some attention to your Diplomacy situation.

Obv didnt fancy the draw
If democracy is to survive, let alone thrive, in this country then the nonsense of safe seats has to be tackled. STV or PR squared or something to allow the effectively disenfranchised majority is needed and quite soon.
It just did!
And I agree with your second paragraph. Heartily!
or Nick Griffin or the Acourt Bros?

Why is it David Cameron's job to protect them?
Meanwhile England 260 for 5
Heads up pol peeps. We have an ICM #indyref poll for you in this weekend's @scotonsunday.
Q1 Do you approve of Tories eating Scottish babies?
Q2 Do you agree that the NHS should only be available to rich English people?
Q3 Do you agree "Scotland should be an independent country, keep the pound, the BBC and EU membership?"
Also we cant know that Cameron wouldn't have invaded Iraq ten years ago, and cant judge based on his current non intervention as that is influenced by Blair's mistake
I can understand why people like him, as he not a typical politician. But that does not mean I would want him as my MP or even a member of a government.
Ukip have taken a shock six-percentage-point leap in the polls following confirmation that Nigel Farage is intending to stand in a Tory seat in Kent. An Opinium/Observer poll has Farage's party on 21%. It appears that Ukip has taken support from both the Tories and Labour.
Ed Miliband's party is down three points, leaving it on 32%, and the Conservatives are down four points to 28%. The Liberal Democrats have enjoyed a small rise of three points to 10%.

However Obama would definitely not have gone into Iraq, unlike Bush - and it's hardly conceivable the Brits would have done it themselves, is it??
So if Obama were prez in 2003 - no Iraq.
Now let's say ISIS had arisen anyway, even without Iraq, and Bush was in power now? I am sure Bush would attack them, and Blair would join in,
Sadly this is fantasy history, and we have two of the most mediocre US presidents in power, at precisely the wrong time, when all their faults are exposed, and none of their virtues.
According to David Icke ( no I don't take him seriously), ISIS is part of a conspiracy to bring about WW3, which will end up with the middle east being controlled by western powers. The US will allow ISIS to take over most of Iraq and Syria, but once they threaten Israel/Jordan, the US/NATO will intervene. There is also some talk about the US wanting to drag Iran into this, to provoke China and Russia, but I cannot see Iran getting involved, apart from funding/arming others.
Apparently ISIS are not just after setting up a new country, but they want to attack Israel.
Personally, I think this is just jihadists who started out wanting to get rid of Assad, who have moved onto taking over weak parts of Iraq. They may say they want to take over a large part of the region, but I cannot see that being allowed.
Well I told several people on here, including OGH in person who seemed to not believe me, that I knew for certain that Farage was going to stand in Thanet South or North, probably South, in March.. 9/4 & 10/1 were on offer then, I hope they filled their boots.
Mine barely got wet!
"They may say they want to take over a large part of the region, but I cannot see that being allowed."
Not allowed? Who do you think is going to stop them?
There's the kit aspect as well though. The forces have been greatly reduced since 2003 so is what's left capable of doing what a Blair would want and would a Blair forcing action without the necessary kit cause a different kind of mess?
Hard to say.
Senior officials at the Ministry of Peshmerga in Northern Iraq say a further 312 Yazidi men have been killed by Islamic State militants.

If it goes on like this I reckon 50 plus seats for UKIP re GE2015.
If you want to deal with a situation you intervene early and firmly.
There are no real excuses and no overall intelligence failure that somehow no-one saw this coming. Western governments knew what was happening. Don't believe the odd nbews report coming out where the White House anonymously suggests they are investigating an intelligence failure'. The failure was a willingness to do something for the last few years.
As it is, if Obama has the nuts for it, and its hard to say if he does, this is going to need sustained cross border action to shrink ISIS down militarily and a huge amount of political action to reduce the oxygen of suppression that assisted them.

Some wise fellow tipped Crystal Palace to beat Arsenal at 11/1, he also tipped Swansea to beat Manchester United at 8/1
From my reading around - could be wrong
Isis were originally AQ in Iraq and after being booted out of Iraq into Syria they were pretty dead until they were rebooted to fight Assad (by one of the gulf states imo). At the same time Maliki was annoying the Sunni tribes in Iraq who eventually rebelled (initially in Fallujah back in January) and so Isis crossed the border to help out. The apparent blitzkrieg effect in the media being the result of the Sunni rebellion spreading rather than an actual Isis blitz. The confusing bit is who is running things now in the Sunni tribes bit of Iraq: Isis, the tribes or a bit of both?
Isis still have their capital in Raqqa in Syria rather than move to Mosul so I assume Raqqa is where they're strongest so my guess is the Sunni tribes are mostly in control in Iraq with Isis running around on the edges of Sunni territory looking for infidels to kill.
(*Sunni tribes including the more urban ex-Baathist types and general bystanders)
If UK had the right kit I think we could probably "do something" around those edges with very few boots on the ground but I dunno if we have. I'd guess not but not sure.
Have any polls had CON+Lab as low as 60 post 2010?
60 was achieved three times, twice with Ashcroft in May and June this year, and the ComRes phone poll of July this year
59 has been achieved four times, once with Ashcroft in June this year, and 3 times with Survation, twice in July 2013, and once in May 2013
I think that should be UKIPs target, to get the big two down to 61-62 combined
Chelsea away next week...

Regret not cashing out on Crystal Palace.
I'll work out which ones they are on Monday, tonight is a bit hectic tonight.
Definitely feels like autumnal weather is upon us. Better than the stifling humidity and damned wasps of summer.
