Lib Dems continue to rise in real polls

Thanks to the BBC web site for the full details above, while BBC TV News headlined the narrow defeat of Brexit by Labour without mentioning the other parties. It is clear that the intervention of Brexit prevented the Conservatives regaining the seat vacated by the disgraced Labour MP Fiona Onasanya. No doubt Mr Farage will complain that it was the Conservatives who split his man's vote. The war of words between Brexit supporters and mainstream Conservatives will heat up over the weekend - and that is just within the Conservative Party. The usual result of such a squeeze between socialists and conservatives is a fall in the Lib Dem vote, especially in a seat where we have never risen above third place. In the event, a 9% rise in our poll was remarkable and presages success in more favourable territory.
