"What's gone wrong for Sir Keir Starmer's party since December?

The opposition sees its lead in the polls evaporate in a few months and now lags consistently behind the Tories, data indicates."

He may as well be on the Conservatives side of the Government.

Oh wait . . . he is.

Lets see anyone know what labour stand for?

When they run their whole campaign on sleaze of the opposition the average punter know they have nothing and have been outdone on just about everything.

Like I said, he has been disappointing, but polls are irrelevant 3 years away from a GE. I remember when thatcher was polling way behind Labour and she easily won the election, things change and they change quickly

And I'm not even too sure he was that popular beforehand..well before the gmnt tried to tie themselves in knots to defend him

Anyway the damage has been done and we have still got his speech in front of ministers to look forward too.

Yes I agree Hartlepool is a must win for Labour. If they hold that and pick up some councils I think he will survive until the GE. If they can't make big gains given what's gone on then it's worrying. Not sure what the excuse will be if they do have a bad night though could be blamed on the media as a traditional fall back

Stephan Shakespeare has been YouGov's Chief Executive Officer since 2010. Roger Parry has been YouGov's Chairman since 2007.[8] Since Peter Kellner's retirement, its methodology has been overseen by Stanford University professor Doug Rivers.[4]

That's approx 1/20,000th what the Tories handed to their mates and neighbours for dodgy PPE.

So I would suggest this isn't anywhere near the scale that the Tories are self service.

While I agree that the Labour front bench are untrustworthy. Suggesting they're worse than the current government is simply ridiculous.

Stephen Shakespeare was a failed Conservative candidate in 1997 for MP of Colchester.

Shakespeare was appointed by the Conservative government as Chairman of the Data Strategy Board (DSB). This is an advisory body which was set up to 'maximise value of data for users across the UK'. He was also announced in 2012 by the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills and Cabinet Office ministers as leader of an Independent Review of Public Sector Information. He has also been a member of the Government’s Public Sector Transparency Board and shows on the most recent board minutes from 2015.

He was former owner of the centre-right political blog, ConservativeHome, now owned for Lord Ashcroft. He was also involved in other right-wing projects and web-sites including 18 Doughty Street, an online broadcast critiquing left-leaning commentary and opinion pieces.

YouGov has inherent right wing leanings.

As I said however - that isn’t the point. The point is about the attitude of the English electorate.

Of course it isn’t and Johnson has “covered” the cost of the Downing Street refurb too.

What do you think might be the reason that the YouGov poll is suggesting an 11 point difference and the two others published today were 1 point differences?

Seriously, I am all ears as that is a huge difference.

I said this in an earlier post. Labour need to break apart and reform in order to become a tenable party. Their historical extremes of left and right just don't fit with voters any more and haven't done for a very long time.

The big question is can that be done in 2 years? I'm thinking not.

You’re assuming my comments all relate to PMQ they don’t. It’s a reference but the comments are his performances in general.

He should take risks and out Boris to the sword at question time but he needs to assert himself as a leader with passion and some vision. He needs to break away from the shackles of old labour and the Blair’s Labour and create a party with values and a desire to change the old staid status quo .

They won’t split apart and don’t need to. The Conservatives are equally fractured and without Johnson in the big chair, how do you think they would fare?

The British people seem to prefer soundbytes over substance and slogans over competence. As long as that continues, we will get the politics that we deserve.

The only way Labour would get the support required from the press is to represent and fight in the corner of the wealth that owns the press.

It's true the conservatives have their problems but not sure Boris not being there would make too much difference. They have beat labour many times in the past without Boris at the helm. Even T. May with an awful campaign managed to narrowly beat them. Starmer needs to get this right and at least make a few gains on Thursday

I think that the point is that we are living in a time when for god only knows what reason, the general public vote goes to liars, thieves, self-servers, opportunists, the bigoted, the racist, the transphobic, the corrupt. People would rather vote for somebody that they know is lying with some populist three word slogan, that they know will steal from the poor and give to the rich, than they would actually do the hard work of critical thinking and looking beyond the lies.

"There is no labour, just more tories wearing red

Indeed. Being Tory-lite is only way Labour can even think about get re-elected in England (the only part of the UK that matters in the anti-democratic FPTP system for a GE).

That's also why they're in such deep shit in Scotland. If Sarwar can't become leader of the opposition in Holyrood - when all he's up against is Douglas Ross - that'll be a bigger kick in the balls for Labour than not taking Hartlepool.

Personally, I'd like Sarwar to manage it but I'm not sure he will.

I don't think the SNP will get an overall majority either - it's way harder to achieve in a PR Parliament.

I've a suspicion - a hope, maybe - that the Greens will push Alba aside and get more MSPs.

IF Alba get even just one, we know who it will be. He'll be entitled to it, though. We live in a democracy up here, after all.

Labour are in a lose/lose situation with their direction. Be too much like the Tories and anyone who wants any real change won't be interested. Be one semi-micron to the left of centre, offer any minor change to the status quo and the press destroys them.

He said a lot of good stuff, but I'll wait and see if he backs it up.

IE. He stopped selling arms to the saudis. Which is good. But they still sell them a lot of military equipment that they aren't classifying as "arms".

But I get your point. He promised to be bland and ineffectual. But he might actually do some good."

So he lied to the electorate to get voted in ? But of course because he is left of centre his lies are ok, no double standards there then.

I have been quite impressed by Joe Biden he fooled the press that he was very centrist but once in office seems to have a sensible left of centre agenda .

He said a lot of good stuff, but I'll wait and see if he backs it up.

If you say so.

I'm not commenting on the level of okayness. It's pretty unusual though. More often it's the opposite in politics. Promise to do good things for the people and for the country, then when elected just represent the corporations and donors who. financed the election campaigns.

"If Hartlepool turns Blue, then SKS is in for a hard time! "

Not really…. Hartlepool voted 75% for leave and the conservatives would have won last time round if it wasn’t for the brexit party splitting the vote big time!

For labour to win in Hartlepool would mean the people of the town would have to fundamentally have to admit they were wrong and lied to on brexit… and as we see on here people haven’t reached that point yet!

Or maybe the people of Hartlepool are already seeing the end of wage compression particularly as demand in manufacturing and for hospitality staff ramps up again. Maybe they realise they weren't lied to.

That is no knowing the local population… in 2015 farage led ukip got 30% of the vote…

In 2019 farage led brexit party got 26% of the voting

So for the last 2 go Arounds…. The tories and the farage mob have been eating each other allowing labour to win…

So are you telling me that the ukip supporters are all tories?

brexit is done and by voting labour this time does not mean you are admitting you were wrong on voting for it ,that is a ridiculous statement and have no idea how you come to that conclusion.
