In an ICM poll for tomorrow’s Sunday Telegraph, Labour has increased its share of the voting intention by one point, with the Tories still stuck on 40%.

The gap between the two main parties is now 10 points.

With another four months to go before the expected general election date of May 6th, the poll would give the Tories a majority of 8: they would have 329 seats to Labour’s 251, according to the UK Polling Report’s Swing Calculator.

Still winnable on those numbers.

But the poll results suggest that David Cameron is more likely to be trusted by voters on the three key issues of the NHS (43% to Brown’s 35%), schools (46% to 34%) and the economy (43% to 36%).

    If you Google ‘Ed Miliband,’ you quickly get the old stuff about him being a bit of geek. His appearance at Google’s big Tent on Wednesday almost begged the headline “Geek Goes Home”. But that assumes technology is just something for geeks to worry about, and that Ed is a techie. Neither are true. What we saw on Wednesday was a leader with the courage to tell Google straight that it should live up to its founding principles on the [...]

    Today End Violence Against Women (EVAW) releases a new report auditing the Government’s progress in acting to prevent violence against women and girls. And with the revelations from Operation Yewtree and group exploitation cases set to roll on for many months , we hope the response from Parliament, policy-makers and the media will be unanimous : that prevention must be at the top of the priority list for any government, of any colour, from now on. On that basis, it’s [...]
