hay, you are a simpleton

Why do the words 'pot', 'kettle' and 'black' spring to mind?

Fishfinger,

The only thing your table shows is that Conservative support halted its decline a year ago and has been rising ever since, and that recent UKIP support has been coming from disillusioned Labour and LibDem voters. UKIP already had their share of the Conservative vote from back in 2011 and 2012, it's not going to rise any further, and it will decline in the run up to the election as the right-wingers realise that UKIP won't get any seats and return to the Tory fold.

As a die-in-the-wood commie, I'd be afraid if I were you. Very afraid.

hilary their you go again. It was inevitable that labours early large lead would be cut back, and this as happened throughout the history of polling. The party in power regains the protest votes from the other large party.

The UKIP vote as recently got stronger not weaker, put your specs on.

We are now at the stage where you wont take any more votes from labour so you have to make inroads into the UKIP and Lib/Dem camps.

Will you do this?, perhaphs youl get a few, very few UKIP votes back but not the contraction to 9% of the vote that would put labour into an overal majority.

TANKER is seeing exactly what Im seeing at my local Tory club, frustrated long life tory voters sick to the back teeth of Camoron and his parties limp response to the EEC bafoons and prepared to take the chance labour will get in. They have had enough of Europe, its the same everywhere you go in the North and the Tories to win the election HAVE to do well in the North. They wont.

Lib/Dem ......I suspect youl lose a few disolusionised voters back to them, yawn, wet libs have always been the same.

The fact is you CANNOT GET OVER THE LINE..

It will be close and Hays is right for once Giddeon will action a few give aways which will be more than matched by an increase in interest rates, possibly 2 hikes.

On a personal note Im a supporter of responsible Capitalism and have always been a floating voter, But I wont put rich lying boys back into power, The Tories have only themselves to blame.

The trouble with that's stance gf, is that Millibandus is a rich boy too!

Lots of Miliband's party its supporters are rich. This is why there will be no tax on assets. Labour may posture about mansion taxes, but they won't happen. There will just be hikes in income tax as usual.

Max he went to a comprehensive school. Big difference betweent that and ETON.

Miliband as indeed rich supporters but theirs one big difference, they arent RUSSIANS and they dont buy policy.

And asset taxes will go ahead under the new labour government.

The Lib/dems who wont be in government will back them up aswel.

Many of the Labour party went to 'posh' public schools; Ed Balls for one.

Thank heavens there's some tasty Cricket today.

Mrs Ed Balls was the president of the JCR at my son's college.

Name the others then Hays.

We already know about Harriets, and Abbots kids.

A fraction of the Torys percentage.

Anas Sarwar, deputy head of Scottish Labour sends his child to £8,000 year school. Ruth Kelly, Tony Blair went to public schools. Tony Benn went to Westminster.

Public school educated people in government is a good thing. They are just better educated.

They are thick, and dont understand common sense.

Always out of touch with reality.

Robot stereotyped.

What else can you expect of all boys schools, and all girls schools, little wonder they are all perverts, their is no sexual release.

The Tory peado enquiry will prove this.

Most public schools are now mixed sexes and have been for years, unfortunately. All boys and all girls schools are very good because they remove distractions and make study easier.

ETON isnt. Look at the Governments Front Bench. Full of them.

Look at the History and the enquiry.

Wages Will Not Have Fallen So Sharply Since The Victorian Era

Britons' wages will by next May never have shrunk so far over the course of a single term of parliament in real terms since the Victorian era, damning new research has found.

According to analysis by the House of Commons Library, the last time average earnings, accounting for inflation, slid by a greater amount was from 1874-1880, when Benjamin Disraeli was prime minister.

At the time, the global financial panic of 1873 sent Britain into two decades of economic stagnation, known as the "Long Depression", and resulted in soaring unemployment, bankruptcies and a major trade slump.

The new analysis found that the coalition will set a new record as they preside over the first Parliament since the 1920s when real wages have been lower at the end than at the beginning. Real earnings are expected to have declined by 2.3% according to data and OBR forecasts, compared to a fall of approximately 2.6& between 1874 and 1880. By contrast, wages fell in real terms by 1.8% between 1922 and 1923.

The House of Commons Library reached its conclusion using official figures from the Office for National Statistics, the Bank of England and forecasts from the Office for Budget Responsibility.

Labour's shadow chancellor Ed Balls, whose party commissioned the analysis, seized on the findings to warn that "working people can't afford five more years of the same old Tory economics".

Speaking in Bedford today, he will say: "From a Conservative-led Government that promised to make working people better off back in 2010, this is a dismal record of failure."



This comes as recent figures from the Office for National Statistics indicate that hopes that wages will finally start to grow faster than inflation and end the pay squeeze continue to look distant. Pay including bonuses for employees in Britain over March to May was 0.3% higher than a year earlier, rising to 0.7% when bonuses are stripped out, which is significantly below the rate of inflation, which rose to 1.9% in June.

Hmmm?

Lucky Mr Shane Warne!

It looks like one of the give away will be a decent rise in the 40% threshold. That will be very popular.
