YOU might not know from what some of the media pundits say, or indeed from what Tony Blair says, but in the nine months since the general election Labour has polled consistently at over 40 per cent and held a narrow lead over the Tories.
According to a recent Electoral Calculus prediction, based on polling from January 11-23 2018, Labour is on 41.1 per cent and the Conservatives are on 40.6 per cent.
Despite this, the right-wing media — alongside some voices on the right of the Labour Party — have in recent months taken to criticising Jeremy Corbyn and Labour’s leadership for not having a larger lead in the polls.
