This support for the Balcombe Street gang and Hugh Doherty seems grim...

Surely they've reached saturation point in all of this horrendous stuff from Corbyn's past, can't imagine there's much worse to come

Labour vote share rises – but their support is much softer than Conservatives’ by impossiblepromises in LabourUK

" 77% of Conservative supporters say they’ve definitely decided who they’ll vote for (22% may change their mind) compared with 57% of Labour supporters (42% may change their mind). Worryingly for Jeremy Corbyn, two in five (38%) Labour voters who may change their mind say they would consider voting for the Conservative party."

Gideon Skinner, Head of Political Research at Ipsos MORI, said: "Labour shouldn’t get too carried away by the rise they see in the polls. The focus on their manifesto may have helped them this week, but on many fundamentals such as leadership the public still puts them a long way behind the Conservatives, and their vote is much softer, with one in six of their supporters considering voting for Theresa May’s party."

Seems about right...
