Was thinking they'd struggle to top yesterday, was wrong

 
Absolutely pathetic. If that was a non-politician, the Sun'd lose in court.

Also, I can't believe they're allowed to publish that on the day of the election.
 
Barely has more readers than the Metro, these days.

Failing Sun. Sad, etc...
 
Subtle as ever.

Whenever I pick up The Sun (never buy but when I find it in the canteen) I'm always amazed how much time it spends talking about itself. Every other paragraph contains a self-citation.
 
It seems the whole of social media is voting Labour. Just like they were all voting to remain.
 


Pinch of salt because Lib Dems etc.

It's a very skewed medium and an echo chamber. Same in 2015 and for the EU ref as you said.
 
Puppet of Unions have definitely supported Metallica at some point.

Quiet Conservatives, and old people will keep your man out of Downing Street.

There are young Tories, but (as this place is a good example of) it's hard to speak up if you have even remotely right wing views on anything, lest you'll be lambasted.

LDs always have the more co-ordinated ground game. Doesn't always mean a lot mind.

I've never bought their low poll showing, I think they'll get a lot of 'Labour but reluctant to vote Corbyn' and 'Tory but reluctant to back hard Brexit' vote that might not show up in the polling.

Yep, young Tories tend not to tell their butlers they're voting Tory out of fear they'll resign.

There was actually some pretty hardcore Leave support on twitter, I remember someone in the referendum thread (who shall remain nameless but as a hint is on the fence about gravity) posting many many twitter polls with Leave getting about 70%.
 
Final YouGov reverts to the mean...
 
So YouGov are covering both bases with their poll and forecast. What's the point in either then? :wenger:
 
-3 drop for Labour in YouGov's final poll


Even if that's the actual figure, could mean a Tory majority of only 18 (though I'm expecting 60+ in truth). If it's the lower end, though, May is done. Polls have always traditionally overestimated Labour's turnout, so I'm hoping they're underestimating them this time round to fix their calculus. Because if that's an overestimation, this will be a Tory landslide.
