Labour is now judged in two polls to be 5% and 8% behind respectively. That is an astonishing closing of the polling. Corbyn's personal rating has improved significantly. All this is part of the mosaic of evidence that indicates Labour has conducted a far better campaign.
labour policies are popular, the Tories' are failed and uncosted. Everything they touch turns to dust. If Labour can deny May the landslide she craves they have done OK. If Labour stop her improving her number of seats, she is in trouble. If Labour deny her a majority, she is in crisis.

That we are even talking about restricting her or even winning this election is evidence of a remarkable sea change.

Nobody in the Labour Party should now be sowing disunity. Labour have a leader who is repairing it's reputation after two demoralising election defeats and he is doing it on an inspirational and popular programme.

Indeed.
I've never bought into the 'War on Terror'', it's a vile crock o's***, an evil manipulation (through the creation of fear) of the dumbed-down masses in the ever increasing pursuit of more control by 'those in power'.
Death by a thousand cuts, and it'll only get worse.

You might be right, but if recent history has taught us anything it's that making bold predictions like this has left many "experts" with egg on their face, let alone members of the general public. The odds are in May's favour and she may well win an increased majority.

At the end of the day only one poll matters and there are plenty of people who will still be making their minds up.

It's not just the Labour Manifesto they will have to pass through though. We saw how split the Labour MPs were when giving May powers to trigger Article 50.

I agree, the manifesto is appealing and targeted correctly. But Brexit negotiations are due to conclude in 2 years.

This is why the election was called. So she doesn't need to please the more right-wing tory MPs.

The one thing in Corbyn's favour is that most aged under 40 won't remember nor hold a grudge against his politics and decision making back in the 70's and 80's. But he couldn't be any further from sweeping up any middle England right of centre votes from those who do remember if he tried. Blair managed it and that's why he won. It is virtually impossible for Corbyn to win.

What would be best is that the Tory majority is somehow kept below 40 so they have some scrutiny with their oncoming more Brexit madness and other policies (usually iniquitous if ultra Tories are involved).

Yep. US foreign policy over the last 50 years has caused so much grief and discord and vacuums for extremists to flourish that plenty of finger-pointing can be aimed at them.

Their need to be at 'war' with someone, something, somewhere at any given time in order to justify their defence budget, the jobs of those connected to it, the profit made from it for big corporations, etc.

Add all that and the exportation of the mass junk culture lifestyle, the vexatious litigation epidemic, the political correctness, etc.

Not what i would call a healthy nor pleasant guardian of the world since the 1950's.

But Corbyn is polling higher than Blair's majority in 2005.

So he's clearly built a coalition of voters capable of winning an election, just maybe not this one because of particular boundary and party concerns.

If UKIP hadn't fallen by the wayside so dramatically, he'd be on his way to no.10. He still might if this stuff about May as Home Sec allowing Libyan extremists in surfaces.

If punk ever happened I'd be preaching the law, instead of listenin to Lydon lecture BBC4

Nah. UKIP and Tories would have formed a coalition gov. Now that would be very scary.

May is going to end up with 38-45% of the vote. I wish it weren't so but she will. The lower end of that may mean a hung parliament and wouldn't it be wonderful if that happened. The reins truly on the ultra-right rather than the loose cannons they are now.

I was right on the last election and Brexit. We shall see with this one. Polls rarely exclude those who are unlikely to vote. They just aren't going to vote for the far left.

Even if it hurt me in the pocket I couldn't vote for a party with this attitude on defence and Britain's place in the world.

Corbyn is an embarrassment to the land of Churchill.
