Does it? Unless you are able to have access to the information you showed, all it shows was the top regions that liked Sturgeon. A sample of 13 000 through the UK and over 6 years, with all likes and dislikes counted, will not lead to a 'universally disliked in England' statement. On the 30th May 7 people answered and on the 31 May 5 people responded and it does not say whether they like or dislike her. Many of those that liked or disliked her years ago may have changed their minds, something yougov hasn't asked.

You are right Joey, they will get dirty. At the last election the Labour vote went up in England and Wales. They were down 700 000 votes in Scotland but gained 1 000 000 in England and Wales compared to the last elections figures. There are 2 million new voters registered.
As far as the Brexit fudge, there was always going to be one from the Tories. That is why they called the election because by 2010 they would have made more and more Brexit u turns and would have got absolutely decimated at the election like they did with the sleazy in 1997. May had to become a changer.

Okay, but how well is it spent - does it translate into money being generated either directly through fares paid or through increased productivity? Does it include things like Tourists who need the public transport to get around the city? (I'd assume so). Like I say, it's neither an argument for or against the increased spend - but if it's being used at it's most effectively that it could be nationally then from my perspective, I couldn't argue against it. If it turned out that it's being wasted and that the extra investment could be put to better use paying for a new tram system in another city for example, then it should be cut and funds should go elsewhere.
"Council tax bills would treble for middle-class homeowners under Labour plans to introduce a so-called “garden tax” on the value of land, it was claimed last night.
The Labour manifesto contains plans for a Land Value Tax to replace council tax, which would hit people with gardens the hardest.
The manifesto contains no detail of how the tax would be applied, but the Conservatives claim tax on the the average family home would go up from £1,185 to £3,837 per year, an increase of £2,651 or 224 per cent".
The Conservatives can't even do simple maths at the time of their Budget and they don't know how much their dementia tax was going to cost people. But they did know that the companies offering Equity release and those with associated holdings in any company doing that, would make a tidy sum. Because more older people would have to go for Equity release money to pay for their care, thereby, enabling those that do Equity release and their associates would make an awful lot of money handling such transactions.
This proposal has been going around for ages in the Tory party and their 'Think tanks' but they baulked at it. Not so May. Sometimes you have to follow the money - as the saying goes.
No, it hasn't as it's complete nonsense. Did you even read the article Joseph?
Project Fear at it again.

Nobody will go into coalition with the Tories, and a Labour + SNP coalition probably wouldn't make it far past a Queen's speech. Would be a nightmare.
If there's anybody still out there undecided about which way to vote, please watch Theresa May's press Q&A from today. Disgusting.
Never have I seen a more spineless politician with such contempt for the electorate. Every single question was evaded. What an insult to everyone's intelligence. Using Brexit as their main platform to get elected is so pathetically desperate. She campaigned to Remain FFS! She doesn't believe in anything other than money and power.

There's lots of tourism and business' outside London you know. I realise that there are other variables involved, but investing so much of our money in such a small proportion of our nation is surely wrong.

Oh trust me I'm not a fan of London at all, but like I say if spending more on that small proportion helps us all in terms of generating more tax etc then it's justifiable for me. I can see the other side of the coin though.
All I see is a black scene. You will have to give facts and figures and regions. The 31st October 2016 is not the 1st. June 2016. If it is the same 'sample' 13 000 people over 6 years and with the same response for the 'Top Regions' for those that liked her. You are finding very difficult to back up your statement that Sturgeon is 'universally disliked in England'.
Using this yougov poll to attempt to have a go at Corbyn through a possible coalition with the SNP, is as bad as all the other attempts to discredit him. A yougov poll is no absolute authority on whether Sturgeon and/or the SNP are liked or 'disliked universally' in England. Haven't the credibility of polls been questioned?
My poll of all polls puts Labour on 60%, Tories 0%, Libdems 10%, undecided 10% will not vote because they are all the same 20% (which is a bit low considering 33% didn't vote at the last election). My poll of all polls asked the simple question - do you like Sturgeon - to the same 10 people and the results were Sturgeon 80% approval, 10% don't like her and 10% I'm off to the pub so can't stop.
This is the absolute and most conclusive evidence if I have seen that Sturgeon is liked in the UK. 'You can stick your yougov poll up your ....' sing the English in unison.
