Why does the boundary bisect the school, and not run more logically in the area above?

If this is true it's a massive polling fail. You can take ComedyResults out of the name, etc etc

At the very least, Street didn't feel the need to disown the Tory brand to this extent in either 2017 or 2021.

According to the Times Menzies is "about to stand down as an MP". Unfortunately, no he isn't.

Mind you, all of those are arguably preferable to Laura K - who is becoming the Beeb's answer to Marcus Rashford.

SNP voters being strongly No Which is certainly hard to imagine these days.

Back in the 1980s Liberal News was one of the periodicals stocked by the local library and TG had a regular column there (on the back page IIRC)
And yes, that would certainly be my somewhat vague recollection from those days.

LibDems also had a few members (until then, anyway) backing Galloway during the byelection campaign as well?

Seriously, this forum would literally be crawling up the walls if we had to wait that long for the results of UK elections

Tony Greaves actually rated Steel and Thorpe?

At the moment the LibDems are becalmed (they must be pretty keen for a Hazel Grove byelection to actually happen!) but it is still very plausible that the increased coverage and publicity means they increase their support during the actual election campaign - if so, a national vote share similar to 2019 is surely possible. And if so, they could hardly fail to gain significantly even in the highly unlikely event they *weren't* targeting any better than last time.
It maybe shouldn't be presumed that any such uptick in support would just come from Labour voters either....

Shows why I am so wary of making hard predictions!
Though tbf the one specifically about the next GE looks pretty spot on at the moment.

1984 would have been remembered as an disconcerting year for women leaders to put it mildly, including aspiring ones. Indira Gandhi was of course gunned down within a few weeks of the Brighton bomb. And not long after Congress won a big GE victory, the two things were not unconnected.

Looking at the data tables I'd shade this poll slightly blue (despite the 1-respondent Lab lead). Lab support draws a lot from people who didn't vote in 2021, and a Con lead emerges if you restrict it to those certain to vote. Houchen running ahead of the Con brand but still a big swing since 2021. Possible Lab could win Cleveland PCC election, I'd think. On the other hand , Tory voters are much more likely to abstain compared with 2021. 2021 Labour abstainers are probably more likely to vote this year. If contests like this come down to getting your own supporters to vote, which out of Tory or Labour do you think has the generally superior ground game at the moment?

Bath itself has 29 *wards*? Unless they are single member that is surely a misspeak.

And this pollster tends to give higher SNP scores in both its GB-wide and Scottish surveys.

And it is the correct name - you see Newcastle-on-Tyne quite often, but that is still wrong.
