Hmm not so sure about this. Obviously a lot of UKIP voters will be going back to the Tories, but I think you would also expect an inverse relationship between the Tories and Labour too, i.e. when the Tories get a bounce, Labour suffers and when the Tories suffer, Labour do better. This seems to be roughly expressed in the graph and would expect the next downturn to be met with the Labour upturn.

"Labour could block Brexit by voting against Article 50 over single market demands, Jeremy Corbyn says"

This sounds like LibDems deciding to support the tuition fees debacle x50.

RIP Labour

Dunno, but cannot wait to see northern labour MPs having armed police defending their constituency offices

Do you think Corbyn can picture himself on a world stage alongside Putin and potentially Trump?

seems like a good move for labour & corbyn

and if it applies pressure on liam fox or whoever to secure a Coke Zeroesque brexit then good for the country too imo

I wonder if the taxpayers will pay to redo my kitchen. It could really use it and I'm not nearly as rich as the queen.

I'm actually surprised it's only 60% considering they picked up about 900% more mps

Are you implying that those of us from south of the border don't enjoy toxic waste, sorry, Irn Bru?

This was your mistake. You only put what is after the equals sign between the tabs:
