Having heard Diane Abbott last week and now Angela Raynor on the radio

Latest YouGov shows Tory 46%, Labour 30%. So an 8% swing in a week and 4 weeks to go....

I'm still trying to work out how it is legal for our PMs husband to work for a firm that trades in financial and stock markets. He has insider knowledge of forthcoming events (like the GE announcement) that can make them (and therefore him) a lot of money. I work for a Stockmarket listed firm, and if I or my family trade in stocks within a week of the quarterly stock market update it is a sackable offence and I'd probably face prosecution.

 

Missed that Scoff. That's good news - come on you Reds.!
They will have their bases covered on the insider trading front I have no doubt of that.

Also wouldn't it be relatively easy to get "someone" remotely connected to act for you for a backhander.?

I met a late Labour politician at a meeting at HM Treasury in Westminster and got quite pally with him over the years. When right to buy came in he asked me if I could do him a favour re- buy his Council house using money
he would give me cos it would look bad for him if he appearedto be a capitalist.!!!What he suggested wasn't illegal but it was against my principles so I politely refused.

Apart from Dennis Skinner and a few others I would think a lot of have their noses in one trough or another.

 

The big question with the insider trading is whether she is making decisions in the best interest of the country, or making decisions in the best interest of the marital bank account.

 

I agree. I find it difficult to accept how in making important decisions some of these politicians can claim impartiality when quite clearly some (irrespective of any prior declarations of interest) either them or others with links to them no matter how tenuous have a vested interest. It existed at local level ( e.g Donnygate) and to my mind its odds on its happened / continues to happen both in business and in Parliamentary circles re- cash for questions being a point in isolation.

 

Labour up 2% from 28% to 30%
Conservative down 1% from 47% to 46%

So a 3% swing unless you studies maths with Diane Abbott.


The latest YouGov poll for The Times interviewed 1,651 people between May 9 and 10.

It showed that while the percentage of people intending to vote for the Tories slipped by just 1% from the previous poll, May's party is still massively ahead of Labour with 46% of the share versus the main opposition - Labour - which is at 30%

You Gov run by and full of Tories, dont believe the Hype.

 

On the original quote I was replying to (at the bottom of the last page), it had "Latest You Gov Poll has Tories on 48, Labour 24, Libs 12, UKIP 7 Others 9", and I replied (Top of this page) with "Latest YouGov shows Tory 46%, Labour 30%." That is a 2% drop for Tory, but a 6% rise for Labour. reducing the gap from 24% to 16%. That is, I'm fairly sure, an 8% swing, not 3%.

 

Those figures were from 18-19 April, so not a swing in the last week.

Fair enough. I'd not looked back into the date of the figures (I didn't post them). Although 3% per week for the next 4 weeks is 12% and would make it ~42% C, 38% L, which would still give a C majority on the system we have, but not as large as many were predicting a month ago.

 

Hahhahahahahahahahahhahahaha.

Yes a good tory mp

Wonder how much the right wing press will pick up on this.

 

Will go unnoticed but Facebook & Twitter will make sure it isn't!

 

Doesn't really balance the vendetta of the right wing press that a lot are daft enough to believe

 

He's been using the £30-£33b figure since 2011.
