Somebody suggested Brexit wasn't one of the initial prompts in that poll. That would understate the Brexit score.

That seems to be the case, i.e. Farage's mob are underrepresented because, for whatever reason, this particular polling organisation chose not list them as a choice alongside the more established parties. A peculiar decision, since they topped a nationwide election only a few short weeks ago in May.

I'm not for a minute suggesting that things aren't a bit grim for Labour right now, but it certainly doesn't feel like the Tories are quite that far ahead, or anything like to be honest.

A Jewish Voice for Labour genius speaks.

Couple of people BTL show up and point out that Jez kept nearly all the benefit cuts.

What was the gist as it looks like the tweet disappeared

Moaning about the electorate in Norwich who didn't care about the real issues and told her Jez was no good.

If the LibDems don't win back Sheffield Hallam now they really need to pack up and go home.

I suspect a general election will have been called before a by-election takes place in Sheffield Hallam. But either way, Labour may as well not bother turning up in this particular constituency for a few election cycles. What an absolute fiasco.

Hello. Member of the Norwich electorate here. Unfortunately that tweet has disappeared, so I have no idea what it said, but to be fair, I would be saying that Jez is no good

‘Deselect Norwich’ was among the amusing suggestions on that thread. If Corbyn’s even tanking with left-leaning middle-class voters in Norwich alarm bells should be ringing. I doubt Norwich’s traditionally strong working-class Labour vote thinks any differently about him.

'Are we out of touch?'
'No, it's the voters that are wrong!'

It may not be fun or ideal or pleasing, but this is the fucking core of electoral politics.

Clive Lewis has been careful to keep Remainers onside in Norwich. They ought to be on to pick up Chloe Smith's seat but defections to Greens and Lib Dems might be a problem. I don't know which constituency the OP was in.

[KevS]

Lest we forget, Norwich was the sole location in East Anglia to vote remain. Dismissing that out of hand is foolhardy in the extreme.

I'm sure the less well of Brexiters of Great Yarmouth and Waveney are flocking to Jez.

And they have to be taught that we are right and they are wrong. This sounds like the depressing sort of conversation I've had more than once.
