Is Cob A Secret Plant By The Tories?

[youngmafbog]

He certainly seems to be doing all their hard work for them since there is no way May should have a 7 point lead over Labour!

Isn’t the 7 point lead a damn good barometer of how useless Labour are, even compared to our own shambling Govt?
Or didn’t you think that far?

[youngmafbog]

Errr, that is what I have effectively said ? May has done nothing to deserve that lead.

[youngmafbog]

And just out of interest, why be rude?

[Zacs-Master]

Faced with such a banal and ridiculous question, I thought it only fair to point out the obvious. You even seem to agree.

[gulliver1]

Now now girls , stop being ***.

[gulliver1]

Well if the Con party members on A/B can not agree, ?

[ToraToraTora]

well Theresa the appeaser has been a disaster so I'd expect to be getting a kicking by the opposition mid term, so Labour should be +7 not -7. So yes agent COB is indeed our best asset. I suppose all the anti Britishness, the spying, the supporting of terrorist groups, the national socialism has effected his core support somewhat.

[ToraToraTora]

ZM at 11:31, why the unnecessary rudeness ZM?

Another poll published at the same time gave the Tories a one-point lead, but still, for the last few months, Labour haven't been able to pull ahead. It's just one data point, though, and we all remember how far the Tories were ahead in the run-up to the last election.

Corbyn hasn't made even remotely the best of the position he was in.

[ToraToraTora]

one of the things that the sheep like followers of labour cannot comprehend is that we are able to be critical of our party, we do not follow 100% regardless. Hence Labour can do anything and still have support of it's sheep, spying, supporting Islamic terror, abusing a minutes silence for one of their own, rabid anti semitism, all are tolerated.

[jim360]

Don't fool yourself into thinking that only Labour have sheep-like supporters, TTT.

[Zacs-Master]

As I’ve said, faced with the banality of the question, to which the answer was obvious, I thought it a fair question.

Haha! Not sure about Cobyn but I reckon Diane must be - not that she'd ever realise it.

[Postdog]

Exit polls, opinion polls...

It's been proved time and again that they aren't worth the paper they are recorded on. Last election, May was scheduled for a landslide...

[youngmafbog]

Quite true jim, all party's have them but labour does seem to have rather more.

ZM, if it makes you feel all big to be rude to others then carry on. Everyone else has been able answer without resorting to insults though - even Gulliver.

Gulliver, as TTT has pointed out Tories feel they are able to take the leadership to task openly if they feel things are wrong. Clearly within any large group of people there will be differences of opinion, Tories just feel they can speak out against other Tories - and why not?

[Gromit]

Not a good poll result for Labour, and they should be doing better.

But I reminded of the day before the last election. The Polls said the Conservatives were on track for a huge majority. And they lost seats instead of giaining ant.

And just a few weeks ago, England voted in local elections. Not a fantastic result for Labour, but OK.

Labour won 2,350 seats, up 77,
Conservatives won 1,332, down 33.

[Jackdaw33]

The Tories increased their seats in Scotland from 1 to 14, which helped save May's bacon. As a side dish they took Salmond's seat. Oh, how I laughed that night!

[douglas9401]

I managed a wry grin myself, Jackdaw.

[Gromit]

I have just looked up the Polls on the day May called the election.

Conservatives 46%
Labour 25%

Labour actually did quite well gaining seats and forcing May into a minority Government.
