[ChillDoubt]

Looks like that 'massive' lead Labour supposedly had has been wiped out, my South Walian friend:

And from your favourite stats source too. You must be gutted. Care to comment, in true spin-doctor style?

Thanks royfromaus, I thought I'd seen something recently.
Looks like it's ever diminishing............

A week certainly IS a long time in politics!

I, for one, think that Cameron is doing a pretty good job.

Three cheers for Dave and George.
Our economy is out-performing all of the G8. The in-work stats are brilliant, the reduction in those on benefits welcome and, unlike the Eurozone victims(Greece, Spain, Italy etc), we are forging ahead.
Really sad that Lefties can't do their sums but, then, they never could.
May have something to do with comprehensive education, which they lumbered us with. Credit where credit's due. Dave and George are due a round of applause.

I'll drink to that scooping, cheers.

[scooping]

ferret69: Thanks. Do think they haven't done a bad job.

I have already commented Chilli...at 09:51 this morning, many hours before you !

You need to get up a little earlier in the day to catch me out.... Roy didn't miss it though !

[ChillDoubt]

Ouch! Must've hurt mikey......LOL

Pity that wages are not rising at the same rate,so that the vast majority are able to be better off. Remember" We are all in it together " !!!

Overall, I agree, scooping.....sure, there are areas of weakness perhaps to look at and controversy, but the general economics point well. Wait for the sale of the major chunk of Lloyds and maybe the first slug of RBS - this will be used to sweeten the election, so I am anticipating the autumn statement will be an interesting one.

One of the encouraging signs as well is Councils getting off their fat asses and the announcement of creating one super zone for N England, Liverpool, Manchester, Leeds and Bradford is a really good one that may help initiate further growth and employment there........

[SirOracle]

Yes DT Give the North this autonomy and in a couple of years they will be emulating the Scots and pushing for their independence out of the clutches of London. :-)

[Gromit]

Miliband is useless.
Labour's strategy team is clueless.
They have been a terrible opposition considering the material they could have exploited.

I dpubt the Conservatives can win, but a very weak Labour Government seems to be on the cards.

Of Course a surge in UKIP's vote and the LibDems decimation will make the next election the most difficult to predict.

....not to mention the Scottish joker in the pack......

[Gromit]

There are just 6 Scottish Nationalist MPs in Westminster.

Assuming the country votes 'NO' to an Independent Scotland, the SNP are going to look slightly irrelevent.

But 6 Labour gains isn't going to help them much.
