An amazing phone poll just out sees some dramatic changes. CON up to 45% but probably the most significant is that the leader-troubled UKIP is down to just 6%. This is a phone poll which has a record of chalking up small figures for the purples but this is staggering. The LDs get hit as well as the Tories move forward under the new leader.
The leader satisfaction ratings are equally amazing with May now a net 68% better than Corbyn who, of course, was rejected by 80% of his MPs a few weeks back. These are the figures for just LAB voters.

What this means, I guess, is that the media clamour for an early election will increase – something I don’t think she will entertain.
