That poll in Wales is the same one as was published in its own right a week ago. As you (SH) noted at the time, it was actually an improvement for Labour on the previous (frankly fairly unbelievable) survey from YouGov there. Same is true of that London poll, I think.

If those other polls were taken at the same time, they will be a bit old now - and maybe not take into account Labour's slight improvement recently.

And this is why you (and people like you) need to vote Labour next month - whatever your feelings about Corbyn.

I remember a Flythenest poster saying they were in North Somerset so were pretty much stuck with Liam Fox for all eternity but I can't remember who it was. I still can't believe Liam Fox is back in government. The fact that anyone, even Tories, keep voting for such people is why I remain pessimistic about the outcome next month. Labour are coming from too far back.

I imagine Mr Werrity finds him to be a very nice man :lol: but yes, if we couldn't win in 2015 when polls were far more positive than they are currently, I can't see how anyone can genuinely believe Labour will win next month.

There's already been mutterings about the IRA this weekend & with 3.5 weeks to go, I strongly suspect the attacks will keep coming :(

A joint Channel 4 & Sky News programme will feature the first party leader interviews with May & Corbyn on May 29th in front of a live studio audience.

Faisal Islam & Jeremy Paxman will be the interviewers.

Contain your excitement folks.

I knew someone had said something about having Liam Fox as their MP! Majorities ranging from 6,000 to 23,000, both for North Somerset and Woodspring previously. That's pretty solid Tory country. At least I had the frisson of excitement of NE Somerset being described as a "marginal" in 2015, even though I knew in my heart of hearts the 2010 boundary change had made it a pretty safe Tory seat.

Worth having a look at Smithson's Twitter feed. A couple of interesting snippets in two areas.

First off Labour's local campaign approach to offset Corbyn appears to be working a little, might save a seat or two.

Secondly a suggestion seats without a standing Kipper isn't necessarily a huge boost for the Tories.

UKIP seem to be vanishing from some of the polling data, soon they will only have Question Time left.

Spread betting still Labour 150-160, Tories around 400 (betting isn't a guide to likely result, just public sentiment).

Yep that guy is a complete and utter wanker. To her credit Helen Pidd called Corbyn out on this, Jezza said he believed that Murray was a democratic socialist.

Which makes Corbyn either a liar or an idiot by any objective score.

People like Murray have never grown up, normal people ditch a belief in Communism and Stalinism at about age 16. You have to wonder why Corbyn even wants to be in the same room as him.

We are talking small numbers here, the odd seat just hanging on. A sitting MP does still have a small bonus.

The Lib Dems seemed to think they could defy the polls by sheer optimism.

Your last remark makes me think that you think Corbyn has different views from Murray. I think they are much closer politically than that. They are Stop the War/Morning Star comrades. Along with Milne, Fisher, McDonnell, Lansman et al. A vote for a party led by these people endorses them. I'm not doing that.

Apparently it is a "right to request"so not a right at all,in any case.I was fortunate/stubborn in the flexible working thing,though I did have the advantage of pointing out the lack of sense in the council having to pay others to cover for what I did so I could do the same things elsewhere,if not flexible,though it did mean a half four start sometimes(competition among ex miners of who got up first was rife)

"UK Labour Party adopts pro-business, militarist election manifesto"

https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2017/0 ... cle_mobile" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
On Wednesday, a draft of the Labour Party’s manifesto for the June 8 general election was leaked, with several newspapers publishing its contents Thursday amid screaming headlines denouncing it as tantamount to communism.
Later that day, Labour’s Clause 5 committee discussed the draft. The committee includes the nominally left Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, his fierce right-wing critic and deputy leader Tom Watson and other leading party and trade union officials. After the meeting, Corbyn declared to the press that the document had been unanimously agreed and would be officially released next week.
The manifesto has been agreed because it contains all the main demands of the Blairites.

Yeah the people who put an S in NSDAP.

There can be no pretence that people pushing the views on this site are remotely left wing, Labour, or Green. They are neo-cons.

If you are pushing that site you are alt-right, you are not anti-fascist; you are on their side - This is the Centre For Policy Studies funded propaganda, fellow nesters, if you are not aware already. It is fake news from tesco value neo-nazis

It is shameful and repugnant that this has been posted here, but a clear demonstration of how this site has been corrupted.
I rather like Kamm, as you'd expect.

I don't think "capx" hides its bent.

Which of the facts Kamm states do you think are wrong? Or is it just that the source is wrong, and so can be ignored?

There is of course another member's only site where only one kind of view is ever expressed, that may be more to your liking.

Yeah the people who put an S in NSDAP.

There can be no pretence that people pushing the views on this site are remotely left wing, Labour, or Green. They are neo-cons.


Chomsky's destruction of Kamm is quite brilliant. https://chomsky.info/200601__/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Right. So you endorse Chomsky's claim that Clinton's bombing of al-Shifa pharmaceutical plant killed several tens of thousands of people?

I don't myself think Chomsky has the better of this.

Anyone who gives any credence to the witterings of Oliver Kamm is frankly a cretin. Capx is a alt right site, which displays contempt for race + religion + gender + disability equality, is completely ignorant of historical significance, ignores and distorts historical facts, doctors sources, and can make no claim to objectivity.

Why is only your viewpoint welcome here, then? Flythenest is now your site to dictate who can and cannot post? Only spinninghugo sanctioned opinions allowed, only criticisms of Labour allowed, only undermine the left allowed.

That would fit with your neo-nazi ideology wouldn't it, create a safe space to vent your bile and hate, give you free reign to spread the discord and anger that feeds your sorry sad pathetic ego, and has driven so very many people away from this site.

Fuck you! I'm staying, posting and continuing to expose your hypocrisy and lies, convolvulus.

That would be Chomsky. Genocide denier I assume, famously taken to pieces by Monbiot.

Not at all. I hope all feel free to post their views, including you, however "robustly".

I was referring to your view that my posting a link to a piece by Kamm was "shameful and repugnant" etc. There are other mono-opinion sites available on the internet that you may find more congenial that I can point you towards. You do seem to find different views very provoking.

I am puzzled by this, I know we clash, but what rule are you saying I have broken?
