Not a good look I wouldn't have thought. Perhaps, but she would probably get away with it if say Nick Soames created a vacancy in Mid-Sussex. Yes...my thoughts entirely She is unlikely to hold Hastings.

Be interesting to have that broken down by party - a lot of Labour supporters think she is a busted flush and want her to stay as she reminds everyone of how damaged the Tories are

There is also the little issue of whether anyone can face another bloody election, and if you can't then you're stuck with Theresa. On my medieval analogy she is currently Henry VI after 1st St Albans. There is a tacit admission of weakness in your analysis of Labour attitudes - not much enthusiasm for having to run the country under your current leader, with your current manifesto, and facing current set of problems.

Not in the least! I have said before that I can see a John Major scenario, with the government continuing to weaken. Only people liked John Major. Pass the peas, Norma.

It's called the Battle of Hastings regardless so the reference was entirely appropriate. In essence the battle at what is now known as Battle was the battle for Hastings as that is where Harold and his army would have gone to to take back control of the town should he have been victorious and wiped out the remnants of the Norman invasion force and their makeshift motte and bailey castle.

Where the Old Town is was part of the pre-Norman/early Norman settlement it's just the part that would have been directly on the then harbour that was washed away (and the harbour destroyed).

Labour are just waiting to take over! Margin of error. I personally don't expect Labour to take up much of lead in the coming weeks, at least not until the Conservatives screw something up royal (which I suspect may only be a matter of time)...

It may be Labour who screw up, those who mouth off seem to be too antagonistic towards a large section of Labour support and see some amazing English Spring. As a cynic I see Corbyn bunging a large bribe towards the middle classes, free tuition, which never helps the working classes, nationalising the railways will benefit the commuters of suburbia, I see no mention of getting rid of P-Way contractors for instance, nothing radical, even not replacing Trident could be a vote winner. No, Labour leaders are offering a bung for a Hard Brexit, thank god for a hung parliament

Crosstabs are interesting to say the least - apparently the Tories have overwhelming leads in, er, Scotland and Wales. Chuck this one in the bin.
