The polls aren't wrong.

Are the polls wrong because the Liberal Democrats are generally performing very well in local council by elections? Wrong for the li dems but not for labour?

I'm not arguing that the... actually, I am at core arguing that polls have been so hopeless in the last few years that we should be very wary of taking them too seriously but ... I'm not arguing that the polls can't illustrate some kind of trend. In elections that have mattered for Labour in the last few years- the national round of local elections and the by elections they've actually been a part of (rather than being one of the others) they've done better than might be expected from national polls.

Yes, 'being one of the others' in mid term by elections is a problem in itself. Yes, I don't believe Labour will win a general election under Corbyn. Yes, also, my form on predictions is appalling. Still...

Edited the longer paragraph to make sense around the elipsis.

No, in response to the question, because the polls ask how you would vote in a GE. That has low correlation with how local by-elections go.

Pols were out a bit in 2015. They overestimated Labour. There have been some minor changes in methodology, but not enough to correct for that yet.

If it were a General Election tomorrow, Labour would lose Copeland, and even possibly Stoke (both to the Tories).

If it were a General Election tomorrow, Labour would lose Copeland, and even possibly Stoke (both to the Tories).

If there were a general election tomorrow it would have happened on the back of an EU dominated campaign that looked at different options for the country's future and it might be the case that this would be the election that finally destroyed labour as it currently is. The fact that May hasn't gone back to the country early, as she could easily have justified and all but certainly engineered despite the fixed term act, suggests that the government don't think this would necessarily be the case. The risk she is taking is that by the time the next election comes around, with it becoming increasingly explicit that 'eating our cake and having it' was actually not a realistic policy aim, she will have to go to the country with a much more explicit agenda of dismantling what's left of the post-war welfare state. That should be a very very hard sell - the conservatives will have been in power for a decade and things will not have got any better for most people throughout that time as it is and they will be saying 'you're gong to lose this and it's going to cost you this and this - and that's without whatever 'events' might come along in the next few years that we haven't seen yet.

I'm very very pessimistic about voters and opinions but eventually the point will come when the choices being made can't be fudged by the magical realism of the 'leave' campaign.

The danger is that when the government come along with their offer in 2020 - 'Shit in your mouth again' - on recent history we will see voters saying 'well, they want to shit in my mouth again but I don't like the look of that bloke on the other side so I think I'm going to have to put up with the shit'.

No argument from me. A competent opposition would be having a field day.

The lack of a competent opposition has given May the space to pursue Ulkips and turn right. That was what she was doing in Stoke. She'd prefer Labour to win, furthering the collapse of Ukips, and the increase in her lead. So she makes sure the Tory vote holds up: handing the seat to Labour. The longer Corbyn is leader the better for the Tories. It is causing Labour longterm structural damage that will never be overcome.

I don't know which is worse for Labour. Losing these byelections or winning them.

Still, we have another relaunch speech to look forward to tomorrow. Should be good for a few giggles.

I would honestly like to give you credit as coming from a 'I want to see labour doing better' position but in a world where the government are driving us of a cliff it is very rare for you to say anything other than a relentless criticism of the labour party. It's none of my business, obviously, and this has been said here before, but you could spend some more time turning your obviously (and just to be clear, said seriously, straight up and not sarcastically at all) knowledgeable and analytical mind to better purposes than 'this is what's wrong with labour' ALL of the time.

[nickyinnorfolk]

Just when you thought ukip and Eddie Hitler Nuttall couldn't sink any further, it emerges that they've distributed a photoshopped picture of Gareth Snell with Corbyn - replacing Corbyn with a woman in a burka (and a Labour rosette).

Blogger Another Angry Voice has posted this on FB:

UKIP have clearly learned from the fake news epidemic that swept Donald Trump into the White House, and they're trying to imitate it in their own pathetically amateurish way.

The first example of UKIP fake news aimed at influencing the Stoke Central by-election was a pathetically shoddy photoshopped image claiming that Stoke residents were hanging out St George's crosses in order to protest against "unpatriotic" Jeremy Corbyn.

As the Skwawkbox blog pointed out, not only was the image crudely and obviously photoshopped, the Ukipper that did it actually got the flag the wrong way up, which is considered a grave insult in the world of vexillology.

If anyone is "unpatriotic" it's clearly the Ukipper who thought it was fine to photoshop an upside down English flag onto some random house in Stoke.

Soon after the Fake flag protest picture was exposed another one soon appeared, this time showing the Labour by-election candidate Gareth Snell with a burka clad woman. It didn't take much investigation to find the original photo, which was a publicity shot of Gareth Snell with the Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn.

The first image demonstrated the grotesquely ignorant brand of nationalism promoted by extreme right groups like UKIP and Britain First by getting the flag upside down.

The second demonstrates something a lot more distasteful. It clearly shows the Ukipper assumption that the people of Stoke are a bunch of gullible bigots. Whoever decided to turn Jeremy Corbyn into a burka clad woman made two obvious assumptions about the people of Stoke: Firstly that they're gullible enough to fall for another crudely photoshopped image, and secondly that they must be such a bunch of bigots that they'd find a picture of a woman in a burka so terrifying that they'd rush off and vote for UKIP.

I hope the people of Stoke Central are smart enough to see through this appalling fake news bullshit from UKIP, and hand the NHS-hating local address-faking hard-right charlatan Paul Nuttall the electoral defeat he so richly deserves.

If you know anyone who lives in Stoke, or anyone with connections to the city, please consider sharing this article with them to help to publicise the disgusting dirty tricks that UKIP are employing to in order to dupe Stokies into voting for their extreme-right Thatcherism on steroids party.

They aren't "wrong", no.

But two Labour wins today - combined with the now consistent Tory losses in local by-elections - would perhaps suggest they aren't telling the whole story?

I think that's a good analysis, unless Brexit goes completely off the rails before then, which is quite possible. The conservative agenda will be very clear to all in 2020. Brexit will be used as a justification for shrinking the state further, as the financial crisis was. The problem I foresee is that they and the media will make it seem inevitable, and that Labour won't be able to change the general direction of travel anyway, so we could be looking at a very small range of choice. I'd like to hear much more of this from Labour, from Wren-Lewis linked earlier.

With yet another study showing how damaging austerity can be, you would think that at some point some politicians would eventually get it. This tepid economic recovery has been a huge vindication of Keynesian economics, which also happens to be mainstream economics.

[gilsey]

The most likely outcome is that the turnout will be so low that sensible people will refrain from drawing conclusions about national voting intentions. There aren't many sensible commentators about, as we know.

[AnatolyKasparov]

Bear in mind that Stoke Central had the lowest turnout anywhere at the last GE - the only seat where it was below 50%.

Not at the moment (except for the one on Tuesday)

My point is that Tory support is softer than polls currently indicate. Of course without a better Labour challenge, that point could indeed remain moot at a GE.

There are two big differences from 83.

First is Scotland. That is lost. That is 50 Labour seats permanently gone. That means that the heartland from which Labour can recover is much smaller than before.

But

Second is the lack of any credible left of centre party in the south. It looked touch and go for a while in the early 80s whether Labour would be replaced by the SDP. Now the Lib Dems are a very small party (but as AK keeps reminding us, recovering remarkably well in local government elections). I think we could see a Green upsurge, they have my support.

The PLP has hardly any Bennites in it in 2017, but in the 1980s they had never gained the leadership.

In the 80s Labour was partly at least crushed by the Falkands war. Now the Tories are doing it without any such advantage.

Inexplicable as it seems, May is popular. her popularity in polling has gone on longer than the usual honeymoon period. this is midterm: the point where government popularity in all previous cycles has been at its lowest.

I can't see Labour doing as well as it did under Milinband even if it changed leader tomorrow. Corbyn has permanently lowered Labour's ceiling. Which means we now need some kind of reorganisation in UK politics between the non-Tory parties once Corbyn has been removed.. There is no other way forward.
