Oh for sure, it would normally be the case, this one surprised me when it popped up.
The breakdown from yougov showed something like 80% of Labour voters supported a ceasefire, and more than half of tory voters too.
Surprised with Tories in particular. The four leadership candidates are falling over themselves to be more gung ho in their support than the next.

A joint statement from von der Leyen and Starmer. Nothing major in content but a continued shift in relations.
Do you exist solely to spam this thread with anti Labour tweets?
So the party responsible for absolutely tanking the economy is deemed better at managing the economy? I don’t know who this makes look worse, Labour or the folk taking part in that poll.
Since the election, both starmer and reeves have spent their time saying everything is crap and it won't get better. They did this to themselves.
Starmer certainly hasn’t covered himself in glory so far but surely people haven’t forgotten the absolute shitshow of the last 14 years under Tory rule?
What about the other 47% what did they say?....probably p**s off, stop asking daft questions.
Hang him.
No information on how many people consulted and demographics etc. And where have those morons been living the last 14 years?
How would anyone know, they haven't even had a budget yet!What about the other 47% what did they say?....probably p**s off, stop asking daft questions.
Exactly! Looks like brain dead people in that poll.
Labour posted a long list of what they've achieved or set in motion via parliamentary bills since taking power on July 5th. You wouldn't expect it to make it to this thread and you;d think they've been in power for many terms rather than under 3 months!
Yes saw that online, they need to be better at getting that messaging out. Their comms isn’t good enough at the moment.
Don't forget that a sizable chunk of people somehow thought they were doing a great job since 2010.
Thanks.Knock yourself out.
What was the point in complaining about that information not being in the tweet? It's obviously not something anyone would include in a small infographic, and the source was clearly listed so for anyone actually interested it's extremely easy to figure it out.
Because you normally have the sample size and other information on the poll with a link to a further breakdown. That's all it was. Having looked at the data, it follows normal trends e.g leave voters and massive percentage of older voters for Tory.
This wasn't a poll, it was an infographic illustrating one question from a poll. The actual poll is referenced, so you'd go there for that information. A completely standard way to do things.
Definitely the folk taking part in the poll. The Tories have been destroying the economy for a decade and people forgot that in 2 months. Goldfish have better memories. Labour have been horrid since taking power but folk clamouring for Torries need to be shot into the sun.
I was merely asking the question in relation to the post, that was all. Thanks for your input.
In that case, I'm merely informing you about how infographics work, and how to look up information like this in the future when the source is so clearly provided to you.
Teach a man to fish and all that, you know?
Isn’t this the same MP who took a £1.2 million loan from Alli ?
If someone gave me a £1.2m interest free loan, I’d post a tweet for them…
Now I know it has a good reason but a potentially clarifying post in isolation isn’t always a ‘that’s ok’. Sooner all MPs are banned from any payments, loans, etc, (even for good reason), the better.

Well I will certainly bear that in mind when looking at it in the future.
Sure but the BBC have also said it relates to a clerical element of already declared interests.
Tbh it could easy be a technical breach but when you’ve got MP’s indebted to donors then it’s difficult to take anything the MP’s say seriously.
I take your point on that certainly but seems to be said in BBC story it relates to a clerical element. We will see when specific information is released about it.

Agree.. I’d already edited post to add that the sooner it’s NOTHING is allowed, the better.

Enter politics, held to a higher expectation to most of us… don’t want to be, don’t enter politics.
As expected though the social grade one surprised me a little… more in A and B for Starmer, more in D and E for Sunak

If they were footballers they'd be banned for months or even years. And bearing in mind that e.g. 6 months of a footballer's career is on average perhaps around 5% of it, that should count double in politics where you don't retire, you just get sent to alocoholic daycare in the Lords.
She is also the genius that said in the run up to the 2019 election, that to be anti-capitalism was to be antisemitic.

Thus revealing her to be a purveyor of the 'Jews and money' tropes and possible the most antisemitic politican to walk through the doors of westminster in 50 years.
Nothing hapenned of course, she said it on a live politics show, and it was just ignored.
