Well yes Thank You Captain Obvious, if these polls are played out in full the Tories will win a massive majority and Labour are probably finished as a political force. If my predictions for the Euro Millions tomorrow play out in full, I will be a very rich man by the weekend.
The Tories were predicted to win a massive majority in 2017, they failed. They were predicted to be a minority on 2015 and they won a comfortable majority.
Political Polls haven't done well these past few years and I don't expect to be buying any champers on Saturday either.

Sky & BBC news channels haven't made any mention of press conference, or that they will be covering it live, so I am not sure it's going to be anything that interesting.

Well, today's the day for nomination deadline...so, one way or another, decisions have to be made.

There's another month of this yet; it's not yet time to get arsey on the polling thread.

Not quite true - some eve of election polls more or less predicted the result we got: but there was a big change in voter intention over the course of the election.

It's possible that may happen again. It's possible yougov haven't fixed their weighting since last time and have got it totally wrong (it's notable that Survation - who were closest - have a much smaller tory lead of 6%).

If you want a prediction from me I'd expect to see the polls tighten further in the next month, and there's a reasonable chance of a hung parliament, with maybe Labour as the party in best position to form a government. But I don't think the conditions which made those massive movements happen last time are quite the same now, so I don't know if they can happen this time - and there's any number of things that could happen in the next few weeks - further flooding, an NHS crisis, terrorist attacks - that could change the arithmatic considerably in either direction.

The Captain Obvious was aimed at the Prof not you, with a month to go under the current circumstances a crystal ball is probably the most accurate means of predictions

The dream is dying. And just wait until Nigel finds out what Nigel has done to Nigel.
Campaign genius Nigel Farage has totally self-partnered himself | John Crace

Things fall apart. The Brexit party’s poll ratings are in freefall. The Bad Boys of Brexit have fallen out with each other. Arron Banks has gone cold on Nigel Farage. The money is drying up. And so are the crowds. Six months ago, Nigel could fill medium-sized arenas. Now the function room of the Hull Ionians rugby club in a small town outside Hull is way too big for him. Only 15 rows of chairs had been set out and two of them had to be removed shortly before the start. Not even a 1970s glitter ball hanging limply from the ceiling could help bring in the crowds.

The dream is dying. As is Farage, from the inside out. After the warm-up acts of Hull’s three Brexit party candidates – step forward Michelle Dewberry off The Apprentice – had failed to cut through the late-autumn chill, Channel 5 TV presenter and host for the day Dr David Bull summoned the star attraction. At the back of the room, Farage had looked stressed and tense as he waited to come on. But once his name was called, the smile was plastered on.

The longer Farage spoke, the more you could feel the self-confidence drain away. Nothing made sense to him any more and he began to collapse inwards under the weight of his own contradictions. He was telling his supporters not to trust Boris when he had just done his best to make sure Johnson got re-elected as prime minister. Hell, every dummy knew Boris was a fraud but he had fallen for the most basic three-card con.

Wonder if any of the BP figures allegedly bribed in this way were smart enough to go in wired up/phones on?

That last bit sounds likes a terrible terrible joke i'm afraid.

"I have a great fondness for the North East because of my time in the North Sea. It has a place in my heart forever”


I know.maybe because was the wrong word

 

[butchersapron]

I meant about burning people jumping into the sea to survive. I know neither you nor he meant that, but that was my first thought.

Met Police say they are looking into two allegations of “electoral fraud and malpractice" regarding offers from the Conservatives to Brexit Party candidates to incentivise them to stand down.

Several Brexit Party figures claim they were offered inducements. Tories deny

Good good

Nothing will happen. At worst 'Our Nigel' will have to wait a year for his title and Boris will be offshore by then.

I do really want them to kick off though. The 'cheeky banter' lying greedy cunts going toe to toe in the media would be excellent.

Fucking funny.

But...

Farage has no legitimate claim on the website.

...he does, and...

We bought it, it’s ours.

...it doesn't actually work like that.

But, fair play for giving him the runaround.
