Not convinced a general election would be a great plan just now
Today’s YouGov poll [4 July] shows that, for the first time ever, Labour has fallen into fourth place with just 18% of the vote. The Conservative’s lead on 24%, with the Brexit party on 23%, the Lib Dems on 20%, and the Green’s on 9%.
The Boris bounce might really happen.

Yea, i've read some criticism of the methodology favouring that lot, and way back, like a year or so ago, it just didn't make sense that Yougov were stating that the con's were like >7pc ahead and yet they were visibly scared of an election with reports that they conduct their own private surveys themselves.
As was mentioned on your first Twitter link, one needs to enquire whether they are to gauge public opinon or shape it.
Few monthes of Boris will be good news for LabourNot convinced a general election would be a great plan just now

I've yet to hear or read of any concrete evidence of anti-Semitism in the Labour Party although they're all getting in a lather about it. Give me facts!
If anything, I'd have thought such a thing would be more likely to exist among the Conservatives - but I don't know of any instances of that either.
Expressing criticism of Israel is not anti-Semitic. It's common sense given their sustained persecution of the Palestinians.
Corbyn should have made that clear early doors and scotched this nonsense about a so-called cancer in his party instead of allowing it to fester and divert attention from the real business of kicking the Tories.

Every other poll except the Ashcroft-funded YouGov, I think.

You only have to back on this very thread to see that a sadly large number of people are completely incapable of separating vaild criticism for state of Israel and anti-Semitic comments and generalisations about Jewish people as a whole.

Of course the anti Corbyn fan club and the main stream media ignore people who condemn the witch hunt against Corbyn, Labour party members and Labour MPs. This anti semitism witch hunt coup will not go away until it is taken on full square in open debate. A taste of things to come - Jess Phillips calling for Corbyn to 'consider his position (as Labour leader)' is an attempt to start the bandwagon rolling, along with Tory 'opinion polls'. Her and the likes of Watson would rather see the Labour party destroyed than see a Corbyn government. Those two are the visible spokespersons for a 'party' within a party acting to undermine the leadership and ignoring the democratic wishes of Labour members who've twice elected Corbyn as leader. It's quite ironic these 'democrats' who spout about the 'democratic wishes of the people' aren't democrats when it's a result they don't agree with.
Noam Chomsky backs Chris Williamson, and calls the antisemitism smear campaign ‘an insult to the memory’ of Holocaust victims

Okay. Here is goes. (1) Professor Norman Finkelstein, a jewish academic, both of who's parents were holocaust survivors, is apparently an antisemite and it was his cartoon which Naz Shah retweeted and which was falsely miscontextualised as antisemitic .
