FAKE NEWS: Lib Dem-supporting website says Labour voters prefer Swinson to Corbyn. They don’t.

Laughter: Present Jeremy Corbyn with the claims made by ‘The Torch’ and this could be his reaction.

Self-confessed “Liberal [read: Lib Dem] source of political news” The Torch has claimed – well, see for yourself:

new opinion poll by Opinium has been released today, showing one fascinating detail: Labour voters prefer Jo Swinson, the new leader of the Liberal Democrats, to Jeremy Corbyn.

Oh, really?

The hyperlink there leads to a tweet by one Mike Smithson – not the Opinium poll.

Fortunately, Pete Davidson was around to provide the raw data:

That’s a big difference!

In fact, 59 per cent of Labour supporters liked Corbyn, and only eight per cent showed support for Swinson.

Of course, it’s hard to see the reasoning behind the Torch claim without seeing the Opinium results, and This Writer can’t find them anywhere!

If anyone reading this can point me to where they are, I would be grateful.

But for the time being it seems clear that Labour supporters overwhelmingly prefer Jeremy Corbyn to Jo Swinson and the claim was untrue.
