Poll time

  • Conservatives 48% vs 47% prior

  • Labour 30% unch

Staying on topic and Bloomberg are reporting that two Labour MP's are fearing they may do much worse than the polls are predicting and that Labour could lose 120 seats (main expectations are for 50-60). They are concerned that the Conservatives will take over seats that even have a strong Labour majority, as opposed to more marginally held seats.

I'll repeat that this election is purely a ploy to strengthen May's grip on Parliament, and so the trade is in how well she wins, not if she wins.
