So what results do you get if you ask Sir Humphrey's polling questions? @IpsosUK decided to try it. We showed 1,000 Brits his pro national service poll and 1,000 his anti national service poll. Results: Sample A: 45% in favour of national service, 38% say no. Sample B: 48%

A question you might reasonably have is why would Biden take Michigan if he's still ~13k votes behind. Answer is simple - there are ~360k votes left in Wayne County (Detroit) and if they split as they currently are (67% Biden / 32% Trump) Biden lands a net gain of ~100k votes+.

"Freeze energy prices and fund that with a windfall tax from the oil and gas companies who are making excessive profits" Sir @Keir_Starmer says solving the energy price crisis is "a simple political choice" - he explains his plan to @theJeremyVine . Do you back it? #JeremyVine

Still seeing people bemused Cons leading polls. I don’t think it’s hard. 1) Won big in 2019 2) Retaining most of that support - Brexit done 3) Con supporters will tell you govt not to blame for COVID / doing as well as can be expected 4) Vaccine 5) Lab still have work to do

It’s possible to not like Netanyahu whilst also thinking it is utterly unacceptable to be at a wreath laying ceremony for Black September terrorists, it isn’t either / or and to try and deflect in that way is pathetic.
