It might be, it might not. We'll have to see. But, yeah, no doubt Jezza will ride in to save the day... any minute now!

With regard to Westminster voting intentions I should point out, seeing as the burner is doing his leave Jeremy alone! shtick, that a recent Opinium poll has the gap a lot closer at just a 2 point lead to the Cons (30% to Lab's 28%).
Anyone who has kept any track of Boris Johnson's career would know that Boris Johnson has held every position on every issue at one point or another.
Boris Johnson believes in exactly 1 thing and nothing else. His own self interest.
The amazing thing tho... Britain will burn the house to the ground around themselves...and then blame the EU for it while holding a lighter in one hand and a can of gasoline in the other.
Don't you think that this would be better directed at those who stated they would vote for Johnson in the poll? Perhaps you could email Yougov?

Calm down. I can assure you there is no-one here who is any where near as obsessed with Corbyn as you. You're his number one!
Well you know the answer to that one - stop creating new accounts and just go away.
I linked the poll because it shows a massive shift from the position the Tories were in just a month or so ago and their popularity will influence their handling of Brexit which I thought it might be of interest - it wasn't meant to upset you or anything.
Even if the Yougov poll is an outlier the Tories are - after mishandling Brexit for the last three years, nearly a decade in power and their adherence to an unpopular austerity policy during this time - still ahead of Labour.
I am not sure why you think I need newspapers to tell me what to think but whatever.
I'm sorry if the use of the word "massive" is offensive to you although it is telling that you pick up on this rather than making an actual point.
A month ago the Yougov poll showed the Cons on 22%, equal with the BXP, they are now 10 points ahead of their nearest rival, I do not believe that it hyperbolic to describe this as a massive improvement. You are, of course, free to disagree.
Wow! One whole percent! Every little helps, huh?!?

Perhaps you should have tried the Yougov website? Maybe, try looking here; https://yougov.co.uk/topics/politics...em-19-brex-13-
Primary sources and all that...

No-one cares. The one percent gain is completely irrelevant and you only mentioned it because you have no answer to my post. I can only imagine that you are projecting your own actions if you believe that my posts in any way suggest that I am foaming at the mouth about Corbyn.
You go on about primary sources, despite the fact I linked the primary source, and then tell me to look at Wikipedia?? For real?!?
Quite honestly I've read a number of your posts and there is nothing that I would want to learn from you. But if I am ever in need of creating a forum account in 10 seconds I'll know where to look.

Oh! And then he was gone! Like a candle in the wind... and now it looks like I've been talking to myself.
If we go by other polls it's likely not an outlier. Many brexit party converts basically were polling in such a way a Boris premiership would bring them back into the Tory fold.
Though tbh we might need to wait a few weeks to get an actual clear signal of how things are going. Maybe even put a huge * next to it until all the campaigning begins if Boris pushes for a General election or loses a vote of no confidence in the commons. If Corbyn calls for one... which he might do... any day now.... any day now.
Changes to polling results in cases such as this one are less interesting in the sense of "Oh my goodness the GE is going thataway" than in the sense of how they will affect the politicians and party behaviour. Tories are likely to interpret this kind of results as a "Full speed ahead Boris old chap!" in stead of trying to get him to cool his heels a bit while someone makes a mature person call to Varadkar, Macron and Merkel
I would urge caution when reading polling results but it does seem that Johnson is tempting Tory voters who went over the BXP back into the Tory fold. It will be interesting to see if the keeps up.
I think it is quite obvious that Johnson and the Tories are in the middle of an election campaign whilst the other parties don't seem to have even noticed and are doing nothing.
Talking about starving children...
Well worth the slightly elevated unemployment... 300k on 90 million people... oooh, look at us shiver in fear! We've never had to deal with 300k unemployed before! Oh wait, yeah we do... it's called annual fluctuation between summer and winter.

Phillip Hammond must be pretty pissed - the newly-elected populists are busy spending his 'war chest':

In fairness, that might be because BJ and the Tories aren't actually in the middle of an election campaign. A step too far even with respect to BJ's capacity for bending the truth?
Not really sure what your point is, cause disposable emails are in no way anywhere near as ridiculous as what passes for IT in films, just that it saves a lot of time if you're in the business of registering dozens of new accounts one after another on the same site.
Don't try logic. They're too chicken to set Parliament ablaze, so they'll at least make a marginal dent in the pockets of them folks in London... cos that'll teach them bankers!
I like the new protest concept of "furiously starving yourself in protest". It's totally going to work!

What makes you think that?
Since becoming PM Johnson has ramping up the Leave rhetoric and his message seems popular with those who would be tempted to vote for the BXP in particular. He is also promising people whatever he thinks they want to hear - tax cuts, extra police, funding to support business in the event of no-deal, information campaigns, etc. Couple this with the appointment of Dominic Cummings (the brains behind Vote Leave) - who, to paraphrase the Spectator, is the kind of guy you hire when you are looking for a fight and intend to win - as an advisor and it is clear, to me at least, that the Cons are gearing up to fight an election campaign.
I think that come Oct 31st Johnson will find that there has been no movement from the EU and Parliament will insist on seeking an extension, at which point he will go for a GE and try to seek a mandate to take us out without a deal.
I'd be interested to hear if you think I am reading this wrong.
No it was high because we are a heavy import nation. The reason for that is that this country is fucking tiny, meaning it doesn't have the natural resources to produce products that will be used both internally and exported. Last time our economy was in any way good position was just before the 2008 crash. Where was the £? It was basically the strongest it's been for a long time at over $2.
What happens every time the UK economy flounders. People do a run on the pound and it becomes weak. Happened in the early 80s, Happened when the tories fucked up in the early 90s. Happened again when the brexit vote happened. When the economy was good the pound strengthens and people can purchase more. Economy runs good.
If remain had won we'd likely be about $1.70 - $1.80 = £1 due to where it was before everyone got worried about the vote happening and then the second collapse when leave cheated to win. Fuel costs alone would be instead of heading to £1.30 a litre closer to £1, which would make everything else cheaper as costs would be lower. Collapsing strength of a currency has never been good and always been a sign of someone is fucking up big time. Just because it's the UK doesn't mean it's somehow different. This country is not some stupid awesome can do no wrong.
Also the reason why you think Centrists are like mail readers is because you are so far into far left insanity Trotski would look like a rightist to you and your delusional fantasy world.
