poll what really should scare the Tories as much as PM's dire ratings is the combined Lab/LD/Green vote share of 62% which is double the Con vote.
That sets up the mother of all potential anti Tory tactical voting.
Lab 40 (+1)
Con 31 (-3)
Lib 13 (+2)
Grn 9 (+2)
Quite the poll here.
22,000 respondents/MRP by Focaldata.
Would see the following seat distribution
Con 284
Lab 282
SNP 57
LD 2 (Yes 2).
Oh and the PM to lose his own seat.

@toadmeister
but that market you've just bet on is not the President market, but the winner of the 2020 election, as per the T&Cs, this bet will not payout for you.

It emerged that Boris Johnson has nominated as many as eight serving Tory MPs for peerages in his resignation honours list, prompting efforts by Truss to avoid a series of damaging by-election defeats
Just a reminder that when Mrs May called a COBRA meeting to deal with Salisbury poisonings Boris Johnson skipped that meeting so he could be photographed writing his resignation letter.
He's unsuitable to be PM as Corbyn is.

For the next Presidential election I propose sending the counters from Sunderland to all the key states to train, conduct, and oversee the vote counting.
We can count 32 million votes in a few hours, so get your fingers out America.

Today made me doubt my love for cricket, losing 5 nil in The Ashes (twice), being an England cricket fan in the 90s, and being shit at ODI cricket for 23 years, didn't break me, but today did.

MRP poll
Labour landslide could leave Tories with just 72 seats, MRP poll finds
The Conservatives face an unprecedented battering with Sir Keir Starmer’s party set for a majority of 262, according to a detailed analysis by Survation
Im so old I remember when Ed Davey was suspended from the Commons after protesting against the Speaker's decision not to allow a vote on a referendum on European Union membership. (From 2008.)
Sir Nick Clegg's knighthood means that he is the fifth MP for Sheffield Hallam in a row to either be knighted or ennobled, following Sir Roland Jennings, Sir John Osborn, Sir Irvine Patnick and Lord Allan of Hallam

Anxiety among Truss’s supporters will be deepened by YouGov polling for The Times that shows a majority of voters believe the government is to blame for spiralling mortgage costs. Labour has maintained a substantial poll lead.
America take note.
This is how you do a transfer of power from one party to another.
No rancour, no violence.

David Davis really is a poor negotiator, it wouldn't surprise me if in the final Brexit deal he signs the UK up to the Euro and the Schengen agreement.
This means for the entirety of Nicola Sturgeon’s tenure so far as the leader of the SNP and First Minister of Scotland her party have never been behind in the polls which quite frankly is astonishing for a party which has been in power for over 14 years at Holyrood.

Actually it does tell us something very interesting.
In one of Labour's safe seats there's a Lab to Con swing of 3% which means there's much bigger Con to Lab swings in the marginals if the national polls are right.
