I'm not sure what it is that make me feel 'at home' - not landscape or language. I definitely feel at home in Sweden, Denmark, northern Germany, Netherlands and Belgium. But I felt very not 'at home' in Ireland. Other places I love would be Budapest and Barcelona but I would never say I felt at home there. Strangely, the place where I have felt most at home and comfortable has been in Japan. There is something about it that just seems to fit with my personality. None of those feel at home to me, but much of Belgium seems very like the parts of Britain I dislike the most, especially their quite awful motorway service areas. Now they are awful. But I'd have thought somewhere like Leuven or Namur would appeal to you very much? Or the deep Ardennes? The country towns between Liège and the German border are very pleasant.

I bet one of the Sundays is commissioning a poll right at this minute for their 'Labour in Crisis' special.

I bet one of the Sundays is commissioning a poll right at this minute for their 'Labour in Crisis' special. Actually, these were notable by their absence. This could be because the papers largely approved of what Starmer did, though of course some might see that as far too cynical

I've only been following Labour politics for four decades now, you know What you say may be correct, it is also true that the chances of his doing so without the leader's approval were infinitesimal. Anyway back on topic, we now know what it takes to push Tory support below 40%......

I actually find this to be the worst number for the Conservatives. Starmer with a 10 point lead.

One "Pole" (D Trump) does not make a nation but I wonder if this is the first sign of the Tory vote stuck at around 40% beginning to develop a few cracks?
On the other hand does anyone believe anything the polls say any more??

True though in lots of things including polls there are close links and people here tend to copy people in the USA.

For some reason I cannot view the full tables for the 4-5 November YouGov poll. When I try I keep getting a link saying "about:blank#blocked" yet all the other polls work from their website.

Tory figures are hardly great either. The difference being Labour's drop is a one-off blip that doesn't seem to have caused major knock-on effects. The Conservative figure is based on long-term schisms within the party.

I think it reflects the reality within both parties.

Those findings, along with others, are at least a corrective to the idea that a major purge of the left will bring Starmer instant and painless success.
(though tbh proponents of this seem more vociferous in the media than the party itself)

No, the damage the Corbynites did is far more profound than even their fellow travellers realise.
