Latest Opinion Poll Says

[gulliver1]

Voters are turning away from the the Con Party in their droves,
due to Boris Johnsons leadership. A third of voters are planning NOT to vote Tory at the next G/E, and they cite Boris as the reason, while 45% of Brits say Johnson as leader makes the Con Party less appealing.
These finding are likely to cause fear and alarm amongst the Tory MPs,
and no doubt amongst the Boris fan boys & girls on A/B, that Johnson could turn the Con party into the Opposition Party ...
By contrast , more voters say Keir Starmer is a good reason for them to vote Labour at the next G/E,,,,,, Bring it on.

gully: "Voters are turning away from the the Con Party in their droves" - how big is a "drove"?

[youngmafbog]

Bigger than a drive perhaps?

GULLY, I know who carried out the poll but I cannot find their poll online or who asked them to conduct the poll.

Around 40.7% I reckon according to this link.

Ironically almost the exact same figure of Tory MP’s who voted against Johnson recently.

gully - all you EVER bang on about is Boris and/or the Tories. You seem to have a one track mind & only one item to discuss. If you came to my pub would chuck you out!

15,05 Davebro "If you came to my pub would chuck you out" What a juvenile reply, I am surprised they serve you in a public house at your age , do they let you sit in the corner with your crayons.

wonder if the opinion poll result will change in light of this policy statement by the labour leadership -

we are continually told that rejoining the EU is a "must", how can labour possibly win if they've abandoned the policy that would see them landslide?

Brainless 1 asked how big a drove was

Drive / drove - I think the poster was trying to be AB-amusing. so it wd be unfair to name him - Brainless 2
A drove was a wide road ( unmetalled in those days) which led to a market town, along which cattle were driven to market. ( v inefficient, they wd lose 30% of weight)

As Naomi often says ( see elsewhere) "he use Google lots he does!"
Nope

someone asked... honest

[gulliver1]

17.41 Trying to Peter, but most of the Boris fan boys and girls on A/B have been heavily Radicalised.
The usual suspects, you know who they are without me name dropping.

I admire you tenacity gully

Boris is addressing a meeting of his Mps and members of his Cronie Club next week to tell them ,
........"You've never had it so good"....
But don't tell the working class. Because they are struggling.
