What are the anti-Corbyn mob going to do now?

We’ve had smear after smear – the anti-Semitism allegations are a busted flush now, actually creating a danger that genuine anti-Semitism will go unnoticed.

We’ve had a new challenge to the party’s current direction in the form of Turncoat Tom Watson’s “Future Britain Group”.

And we’ve had the departure of eight Labour MPs for “TINGe” – The INdependent Group of elitists, as it has been dubbed.

The result? Here it is, according to the most accurate polling company currently working in the UK, Survation:

That’s right – Labour is now the most popular political party in the UK, with 39 per cent of the vote.

The Tories trail by four points, having lost five, presumably due to public reaction to the Brexit fiasco.

And the other parties and groups are nowhere – particularly TINGe, which appears to have sunk without trace.

M’good colleague Steve Walker, over at Skwawkbox, reckons that Labour’s poll improvement may be connected with an improved focus on positive campaigning, coupled with a refusal to engage with right-wing trolls.

There’s substance to the claim, too; I was chatting with a friend in the supermarket yesterday, who said she was having success online, just by posting a link to the Labour manifesto and asking people to identify what they don’t like about it.

Personally, I think there is a place for engagement with right-wing trolls – here on news-based websites. Part of our job should be to bust the myths that are told about the Left.

Skwawkbox points out that, less than two years ago, the Conservatives were polling at 50 per cent.

Let’s see if – despite the party games, lies and trolling – Labour can get to the same level before another year is over.
