      Boris was at Balmoral on Friday, but made a hasty exit from Aberdeen Airport on Saturday morning.
      Really????? B-B-B-B-B-But my stepdaughter wouldn't make it up surely? I'll have to check.

      [Edit:] She, and those around her, were convinced he was in the car behind Brenda. They could have been wrong, or maybe it was a quick stop on his way to the airport?

        It's almost as if she doesn't think this stuff through.

        (The realistic fallback position for the LDs is now that of Labour.)
        Saw something about a Second Referendum being proposed as 'binding', admittedly on Facebook, for up to 25 years? Any chance of this being a runner?

          Nope.

            Why not? If proposed/passed in Parliament?

            Combined with a constitutional review?

              I am almost certain Cameron mentioned it, but his comment got ignored/dismissed.

                Any law made by Parliament can be repealed by Parliament.

                Also, what if a second referendum delivered a Leave vote?

                  Then it would be final, but at least you'd know the terms of departure this time. Frankly, doubt if the rest of the EU want you back at this stage.

                                I hope there's something to those polls, Nef. But I feel no comfort in any polling in the current environment. I feel that no polling is going to be meaningful until we know the state of Brexit when an election happens. And I feel no comfort at all in seeing the Tories still with the highest percentage after 2 weeks of utter Johnson shitstorm-chaos, by which point any normal party should have been down in single digits.

                                    Those seat projections are meaningless.

                                        Seat projections are even more laughably meaningless than polling.

                                          Surprise surprise another vox pop oop north in Grimsby on Newsnight and almost every cunt on the high st is a fucking Tory leaning idiot. Fucking BBC.

                                            I’d like to
                                            do some vox pops in Broadcasting House where everyone w spoken to says Laura Kuenssberg is an incompetent Tory shill.

                                                Ok Pollster buddy is annoyed.

                                                He says you "know nothing about polling methodology, especially when it comes to seat projections".

                                                He then mentioned something about 'it's not an absolute science but all about signposting trends' which they then feed into some magic formula.
                                                Apparently.

                                                More specifically, says back concentrating on dealing with Brexit voters, 15 target seats, all vulnerable to the BP, but unhappy as means is working indirectly for them or Tories.

                                                  I'll quote my man Marco Biagi:

                                                  "no obsessing about c.150 unrepresentative Scottish voters in GB polls.

                                                  no using nationwide polls to pretend to know results in specific constituencies (including maps thereof).

                                                  no manufacturing referendum majorities by ignoring undecided."

                                                  but it if your imaginary friend has a magic formula, all power to him.

                                                  Comment


                                                    This from the Scots Tory constituency polls done by YouGov is quite something. Ver kids don't seem down with Brand Johnson at all at all.
