Lib Dems collapsing, which suggests that any "anti-Brexit vote", which you might expect to have the biggest effect in London isn't happening? (Maybe... I mean, who fucking knows really?!)
The Lib Dem collapse happened shortly after the 2010 election and hasn't really shifted since then though, so I doubt we'll see any further losses (these are seats last fought in 2015). They have been doing well in council by-elections lately, but only in seats where Labour doesn't stand a chance - so I'd expect to see an increase in seats which isn't totally reflected by national polling.

I completely misread the Tweet as having Lib Dems down 11 from the last poll two months ago! Whoops, I am an idiot, carry on as you were. . .

Few of the predictions where the brexit vote went seems to have been correct. Most of the people I know just want it over and done with the least amount of hassle.

When did David Lammy become such a bore?
I use to like Lammy, recently a lot of the stuff he comes out is just silly. For example, in the TImes he's droning on about how Meghan Markle marrying into the Royal Family is up there with Obama. Although I'm not quite sure why a prince marrying a beautiful TV star is analogous to a country electing its first black President.
The best bit was when he talks about his children being inspired by seeing women that looks like them in a position of power and influence:
I think at this point Lammy is underestimating his own children who realise their father has sat in the seat of Government for almost 20 years and been a Minister in charge of a government department.
Whilst I've no doubt Meghan Markle had to work hard to land a plum TV role, but, I think if you want an example of someone from a minority background of whose talent and hard work has made them successful I think Lammy himself is a far more relevant role model tbf.

There doesn't really seem to be many other places to put this about Emily T. Labour chair suspended for 'IS tweets'

slight system overdrive
Ha, the man spends half his time tweeting about how Momentum are an evil 'outside' organisation trying to subvert the labour party. Wonder if one of his targets decided to rifle through his old tweets?There doesn't really seem to be many other places to put this about Emily T. Labour chair suspended for 'IS tweets'

He's one of those terrible abusive Corbynistas I assume?

I really don't think the public would have been ready for Harry marrying Barak
Though if he had they definitely should have invited Trump

I think you're wrong. Times have changed. Most people don't give a fuck.

He'd have to divorce Michelle first though, unless you're suggesting 'most people' would approve of bigamy

This conversation took a turn I wasn't expecting. I tried to roll with it but now I'm out of my depth and I want out!

Slight dip for Labour in recent polling and improvement for the Tories. It seems to have happened after the latest anti-Semitism furore quietened and the Tories, in the same period mildly exposed for their rampant Islamophobia, have gone up.
Seeing as the Tories are making a hash of everything else it seems odd to be gaining ground. Still, just a month of polls.

Jared O'Mara quits Labour. Trying to play the sympathy card (after abusing various women) about poor little him. Not getting too much sympathy locally.
