| Quote: |  | | | Labour has recorded its first poll lead since Boris Johnson became prime minister, marking an extraordinary change in fortunes for the two main parties.
Keir Starmer’s party now has a three-point lead over the Conservatives, according to the latest Opinium poll for the Observer.
In a result that will stir more unrest among Tory MPs over the performance of the prime minister, the poll put Labour on 42% support, with the Conservatives on 39%. | | | | | Source
Amazing that Boris could destroy a 26 point lead so quickly.

well he has made a spectacular mess of everything so far- in such a small amount of time- and now attacking the very principle of Parliamentary Democracy and selling us all down the river. I am surprised actually that it has taken 'that' long, considering.

Liberal Democrats 11.5 88.5
SNP 3.9 96.1
Green 2.7 97.3
DUP 0.8 99.2
Sinn Féin 0.6 99.4
Plaid Cymru 0.5 99.5
SDLP 0.4 99.6

I thought it was supposed to be the EU folding and making concessions? Britain offers EU fishing concession as part of Brexit sweetener. | | This user would like to thank marton for this useful post: | |

The European Union has launched legal proceedings against the UK after it failed to withdraw legislation that would breach the Brexit deal both sides signed last year and break international law.

Kicking the can down the road again | Quote: | | | | Boris Johnson and Ursula von der Leyen have approved a further month of Brexit negotiations after agreeing that enough progress has been made to justify a last push to reach a deal on trade and security. | | | | | |
