Thank you

Oh blow, still can't get Ed's head in the pic - he's outside No 10.

John Curtice is an excitable chap. He did lots of "Labour doing badly" a year or so ago.

He's now got LAB on 302, even with 48 SNP. Assume that would be 10 LAB MPs in Sco.

Prime ministerial ? Hell, yes !

Let's not get ahead of ourselves - a few weeks left and there's bound to be some nasty stories around to try and knock Labour off-course.

You've got to hope that the people of this country will do the right thing, at least until events prove otherwise.

Not long been back from a windy walk up on the hills, it got my spirits back up and am feeling positive about the outcome.

But Roger's right, there's probably a Dacre/Crosby war party brewing up a 'Red Ed shagged my grandmother at a sauna and the miserable bastard left Wayne Rooney to pay the bill'' story as we speak.

Wonder who's funding them ? That's a lot of deposits for what were small parties - membership is only £10 (last time I looked) and student rates were as low as a £1 over university freshman's (or whatever 1st week is called) week

Yes, Ed needs to take the opportunity of that opposition leaders debate to point to the Green's policies and ask pointed questions about their costing of them.

The greens will probably respond with 'that's the politics of fear not hope, don't ask us for facts'.

Re Green candidates. I have no idea if it's students funding them, but if our constituency is anything to go by it's students who are standing for them. Ours is a Bath Uni student, studying politics and french. She has very little to say about pretty much all policy areas compared to the other candidates. Still, with Rees-Mogg coming out with charming little gems like the following, she probably doesn't need to say much to win some votes!:

"During the course of this Parliament the Government has put measures in place to increase youth productivity"

Is it just me or is there something very wrong about that statement? I have an image now of Rees-Mogg with whip poised above the backs of our poor unproductive youth as they build a Rees-Mogg like sphinx on workfare. Help!

There's no doubt in my mind anyone wanting what the Greens offer need to support Labour & work on representing people, training with public servants in order to learn how to effectively govern. I hope I offend no one writing this. I'm sure many may disagree. I'm offering my opinion on how to best achieve Green party goals. Don't split the vote here now. That's my advice. Nothing more.

Good-afternoon, friends.
I love you all very much.
Rest up, enjoy the beautiful evening.

It shows the deep chasm between the Tories and every day people.
I hope today's youngsters realise how social mobility and equality have been pushed back to the beginning of the twentieth century.

Mike Smithson ‏@MSmithsonPB 34m34 minutes ago

ENGLAND & WALES ONLY figures from today's Opinium poll CON 38.16% LAB 34.05% LD 7.42% UKIP 11.66% A CON to LAB swing of 3% since GE10

This suggests Conservative vote down less than 1% since 2010 (in fact 0.68%) which just does not seem to ring true to me, but of course I'm biased. Another outlier?
Edited to make sense.

Unfortunately it appears to be a deep chasm of which a significant proportion of every day people (especially in the East, South and countryside) seem to be more or less unaware.

I wonder if the Greens are basically a "brand" and having Miliband attack them just makes them look different.

Mathematics probably not my strongest suit but ... 8 billion annually times 5 years = 40 billion.

Didn't the coalition recently produce a budget and legislation premised on the critical need to make 30 billions worth of cuts over the course of the next parliament?

So it's not just an unfunded promise - it's a promise that wipes out the entire 30 billions worth of cuts and leaves us needing to find a further 10 billion from somewhere.

What next - introduction of a Big Sofa Recycling Scheme so we can find all the money down the back of them and fund this nonsense?

The OBR charter didn't prescribe cuts. It was about current spending only, so in theory you could ramp up investment.

But there's no way this extra spending could all be investment. So you're in right there's a discrepancy.

I've said for a while they've no intention of making those targets. Nothing basically happens if they miss them.

Apparently this Opinium survey had Labour ahead on its original figures, Tories only going into the lead after weightings.

It's just lies, all of it lies, coming from people who really do believe that we are far too stupid to recognise lies when we hear them, that we are just too uneducated and in thrall to their evident superiority that we will swallow any kind of b***sh*t just because it comes from their mouths. Another four weeks of this condescension and patronisation and I for one swill be at the point that simply tipping them out of power will not be enough, I will want a root and branch eradication of their entire class. Literally.
