Ed Miliband is now less popular than Nick Clegg after his approval ratings slumped to an all-time low, a new poll suggests.
Just 18 per cent of voters think Mr Miliband is doing a good job, against 73 per cent who think he is doing badly – an overall rating of minus 55. That is one point worse than Mr Clegg, on minus 54.
The Prime Minister has an overall rating of minus 14. Some 40 per cent of voters think he is doing a good job, against 54 who think he is doing poorly, according to a YouGov poll for the Sunday Times.
Mr Cameron enjoys strong support from his base, with 97 per cent of Tory voters saying Mr Cameron is doing well. By contrast, just 50 per cent of Labour voters think Mr Miliband is doing a good job, with 44 per cent saying he is doing badly.
Some 27 per cent of Ukip supporters say Mr Cameron is doing a good job, but only 2 per cent endorsed Mr Miliband.

Labour have a one-point lead over the Tories, but at 32 per cent it is the joint lowest support recorded since Mr Miliband became the Labour leader in 2010.
Lord Prescott, the former Deputy Prime Minister, this morning said Labour’s campaign strategy is being driven by “the pointy-heads not the lionhearts”.
Mr Miliband’s inner circle has come under frequent attack for being dominated by former academics.
"To be frank, our campaigns have not been very successful. From the 2010 general election to local and European elections and by-elections, it seems strategy is driven by the pointy-heads not the lionhearts," Lord Prescott wrote in his column in the Sunday Mirror.
"The Scottish referendum campaign was only saved by dedicated old-school campaigners like Gordon Brown and Jim Murphy who went out and spoke with passion about Labour's values, achievements and positive case for the future.
"In these last six months we need passionate campaigners to sell our popular policies."

2,700 Disabled Ex-Remploy Workers STILL Looking For A Job
Posted by Steven PreeceDate: October 30, 2014
Most disabled ex-Remploy workers are still out-of-work and looking for a job, according to a new report.
A new report from the GMB union found that over 2,700 disabled ex-Remploy workers are still looking for a job, a year after the final Remploy factories were forced to close.
Remploy closed its three remaining factories in Blackburn, Sheffield and Neath in October 2013, heralding the end of 67 years of providing specialist employment opportunities for thousands of disabled people.
The “callous and thoughtless” coalition government terminated its financial support for Remploy in the wake of a government commissioned report. The report, led by the then chief executive of the disability charity Radar Liz Sayce (now Disability Rights UK), found that the £25,000 a year average subsidy would be better spent supporting disabled people into mainstream employment.
However, GMB’s research has revealed how most of the ex-Remploy staff are still struggling to find jobs, despite a growing jobs market. Those who have been able to find jobs are mostly working shorter hours and for less pay, say GMB.
The recommendations made in the Sayce review to end segregated employment has left many disabled people feeling more “depressed and isolated” than ever before.
Despite honest intentions (supposedly), closing Remploy factories has resulted in thousands of disabled people being dumped in the dole queue.
Employers could remain reluctant to offer a job to disabled people for as long as they have plenty of able-bodied workers vying for an opportunity. Discrimination against disabled people has never really gone away.
National officer Jerry Nelson said: “It is now one year since the final day of the Remploy factory closures.
“Over 2,700 disabled workers had their lives destroyed by this government’s callous and thoughtless attack on the disabled workers, who relied on their employment to maintain their sense of independence, working in an environment of protected equality.”
“The factories were a sheltered environment and for many of these workers it was their only connection with life outside of their own homes.”
Kate Green MP, Labour’s Shadow Minister for Disabilities said the reports findings show how the Tory-led government has ” has broken its promise to help former Remploy workers”.
She added: “Just one in 20 disabled people have found a job thanks to the failed Work Programme while ministers have cut the number of specialist disability employment advisers in Jobcentres by 20 per cent.
“Labour is committed to delivering justice for former Remploy workers and disabled workers across the country by introducing a Work Support programme to give more disabled people the chance to find a job.”
A spokesman for the Department for Work and Pension said: “Disabled people deserve the same employment choices as everyone else – rather than being consigned to work in segregated and loss-making factories.
“A comprehensive 18-month support package, worth £8m, was provided for those made redundant.
“Since last year, over 80% of ex-Remploy workers have found jobs or are receiving specialist employment support and training to help them find one.”

GF.
I think that is an over priced con as is the suggestion of glucosamine from Haze.
The beneficial effect due to the payment, suggestion, placebo effect or normal wax and wane of the disorder.
Anybody on a "normal" diet in the country does not need supplements, unless suffering from a few specific malabsorption disorders, which would be better appropriately diagnosed and treated.
The same vitamins could be from chewing Vit B complex tablets, a yeast pill and a chewing the soft end of a chicken bone or gristle on another bone.
Sorry Gf.

Miliband may end up even more unpopular than Michael Foot. He was another leader with an image problem. He turned up at remembrance day at the Cenotaph in a duffle coat.

Correction.
It was a donkey jacket. It could so easily have been Miliband.

Fred think you have put your finger on the problem, it is the diet of a lot of the sufferers that is the problem.
I have read a few books on the subject and it appears it is more likely a diabetic will get neuropathy problems. Drinking can also play a part.
B12 is prescribed as is Benfotiamine by herbalists.
Some say it does work.

A man allegedly invited his daughter’s rapist to his house for dinner before torturing him to death.
He cooked the 45-year-old married man dinner on Friday night before overpowering him, bounding him to a chair and burning his genitals with heated tongs, say police.
The furious father, 36, allegedly strangled the man to death in a murder plot which had been planned since his 14-year-old daughter was sexually abused two months ago.
The incident took place in Northeast Delhi’s Khajuri Khas area.
After the murder he walked into a police station and confessed to the killing – giving a gruesome account of how he tortured the man.
He said he did not approach the police out of fear that neighbours and relatives would blame his daughter for the incident.
A police spokesperson said: ‘Based on his statement, we sent a team to the spot and recovered the body. It has been sent for a post-mortem examination and his family has been informed. A case of murder has been registered and the 36-year-old man was arrested.’

The papers keep suggesting the wee Sturgeon getting into bed with Millibandus to form the next coalition gov.
Can anyone see this happening, and what would be the lightly outcome?

The likely outcome might be some rather ugly offspring! Sturgeon will do whatever she thinks is best for the SNP.

It won't produce an overall net figure more than Labour plus SNP last time. The balance would be shifted that's all.
In 2010 it was
labour 258
SNP 6
That overall figure of 264 is not enough to form a government. It would still need the Libs to make a majority.
Don't forget that the Conservatives got 307
