Surely we're approaching tipping point for the PLP.
In Feb 2011 Lab had a six point lead with ComRes.
Jez truly is dire, Labour closer to UKIP than they are to the Tories
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/georgeosborne/12154770/retirement-crisis-pensions-tax-raid.html Lots of pissed off notionally Tory voters... better hope the referendum is on the EU and not the government, no danger of Corbyn and all that.
Thankfully it is looking increasingly likely that Osborne will never be leader.
lol
How will you cope when George leads the Tories to a landslide in 2020?

Cameron has lost 18% of his favourable rating in a month.
14 point gap between the top two the biggest since the early Blair days?
Labour are now closer to UKIP than the Tories.
LD legalise pot policy going down well?
The man is a genius. Geniuses are seldom acknowledged in their own lifetime.
Also, I said that Britain could comfortably take 10,000 migrants a month. Which, of course, it could.
His competency ratings when polled are generally higher.
I'd love to chat longer, but I'm only allowed 30 mins time in front of the screen every few hours.
I'll do an Osborne is awesome thread just for you, next weekend.
My criticism of him has always been that he is always after a political angle for everything, in much the same way as Brown was in the same position. Budget day in March is going to be one of the key dates in the diary of this Parliament - one way or the other.
"The EU is not a burning building. Of course it has problems. In the grand scheme of things they are relatively minor and in large part problems of affluence. There would be no migration crisis if European countries weren't seen as desirable places to come to. "
Congratulations on the EU's 21st !!!
I see the EU budget has not been signed off for the 21st year running by auditors who cite suspicions about the use of at least 4.8 billion of funds 500 million of which was from the UK. EU council of finance ministers pass the audit report anyway despite protest from the UK.
Daily Mail.
Nothing to see here move along please.... All is well...all is well.
@OliverKamm
It's 1 point less than Labour achieved under Michael Foot in the 1983 general election.
ComRes IoS S Mirror online poll:Just 12% of those who voted LAB at GE2015 have favourable view of shadow chancellor John. McDonnell
ComRes IoS S Mirror online poll: Just 47% of those who voted LAB at GE2015 have a favourable view of Corbyn
Being able to speak Latin does not make a statesman, he gives the impression of the man who would put a whoopee cushion under Mr Putin's chair as they sit down at a conference. The incumbent PM sets the bar very high for knowing how to conduct himself in a manner appropriate to the occasion.
Labour = Ted Cruz
UKIP = Marco Rubio
LD = Jeb Bush
Green = John Kasich
21% is simply horrid for a leader of the Opposition. Excluding don't knows, it implies a ceiling of 30% for Labour.
Boris' problem is that the PCP decides the two who go to the final ballot. Can't imagine he's got all that strong a support base. Probably seen as a mixture of a Flash Harry and Johnny Come Lately.
Do you have a favourable or unfavourable opinion of
(1) politicians?
(2) Junior doctors?
Firstly, Rubio is a total incompetent and Farage is... well... nowhere near as incompetent. And whatever you think about Farage, he's definitely not an 'empty suit'.
Secondly, Labour is so not Ted Cruz. Ted Cruz is beloved of religious fanatics of the same region. Jeremy Corbyn is beloved of religious fanatics of a different religion.
Thirdly, Donald Trump wins at negotiating.
Fourthly, Jeb Bush is quietly competent. The LibDems, by contrast, are inaudible.
Finally, Kasich can run a state. The Greens would leave you in a state.
Sorry but I just had to link to these

Theresa May would be a safe pair of hands if DC stands down in the next year or so, she also has the added bonus of making the lefty feminists go ballistic at a second Tory woman PM.
But does he? After all, that would mean taking responsibility.
It was thus with Blair until he had some difficult decisions to make.
Popularity is not something that politicians can expect and its not something that should be a major criterion in judging them. Its one of the reasons why politicians seem time limited.
I suppose this may be sensible and indeed common place in your world.
The argument is whether the lesser evil is to Leave or to Remain.
The latest scare is higher rate taxpayers and pensions. If the government seeks its money standard rate payers then another great swathe of people suddenly turn on them. If it cuts benefits than both groups get angry.
