Come on you Blues (and yellows).
I read the news today oh boy! Page 2,827
The last five opinion polls give Labour a lead over the Tories of between 9 and 19%.
Basically, the new government is still popular. The Tories are still widely hated.
Tories are the only viable opposition
They are on 20%
Not that viable ...
Irrelevant anyway, Labour will win the next GE
No tory party is going to get a swing so big it will overturn a majority of 171 seats
Labour overturning Boris' 80 seats was historic and unprecedented
171 seat swing?
Nope not happening
But Starmer? You keep dodging and trying to misdirect. Great fun.

When exactly did you ask about Starmer's polling? No misdirection here.
His favouribility rating is about 40%.

I told you in my post.
If you want figures (very unlike you, Stephen!) here goes:
Starmer currently has a favourability score of -16, two points better than his score just before election.
It had soared up (everyone loves a winner) immediately post-election, but has now gone back to roughly how it was - a little bit better, in fact.
For reference Sunak is at -48 and since the riots Farage has fallen to -42.
I hope that helps.
If I crept around Bolton at night painting pictures of zoo animals on walls - the rozzers would have me down the nick in double quick time
Yet when Banksy does it - f**k all
Two tier policing

I quite agree.
That's the third time we've agreed!
Farage pocketed £32k for a. paid visit to Milwaukee, where he claimed to be representing Clacton on the world stage.
Poor old Clacton.
Lammy goes to Israel to discuss a ceasefire with Netanyahu - all very laudable and covered by every news channel.
Except, Netanyahu says 'f**k off. You'd think he might have called through first.
Don't know why Lammy bothered.
The last thing Netanyahu wants is peace.
No I think he does
But he doesn't care two shits how many men, women and children in Gaza have to die before it's achieved

He relies on the hard-right hawks in his government for continued power.
They want nothing less than the total elimination of Palestinian presence in the Gaza Strip.
Iran and other Middle East countries will strike Israel before that happens

That's the worry.
