Published Date: 25 August 2008
A NEW opinion poll makes more worrying reading for Prime Minister Gordon Brown, with Labour trailing 21 points behind the Tories.
The ComRes survey shows Labour are set to lose badly in the next general election.

The UK-wide poll put Labour on 25 per cent, with the Tories on 46 per cent and the Liberal Democrats on 16 per cent.

Some 11 per cent of those who "generally speaking" thought of themselves as Labour said they would vote Liberal Democrat, while 8 per cent said they would vote for the Conservatives.

Only 72 per cent of those who identified themselves as Labour supporters and likely to take part in the next election intended to vote for the party.

Tory leader David Cameron, however, also came under pressure yesterday from members of his own party to commit to big cuts in tax and spending.

New Labour have a death wish so long as they support Mr Bean as Prime Minister.

Time for all football fans to protest at Gordon Brown's stupid suggestion for a Team GB football team at next olympics. It will mean the end of Scotland's national side as corrupt officials in FIFA cannot be trusted.

I'd like Brown to ensure that Synchronous Extreme Ironing is made an Olympic sport in time for 2012.

The headline "Poll shows low Labour support" is on par with a headline "Bears sh*te in woods" (i.e Everybody knows already).

#3 Fernando, think there should also be a new Olympic sport in 2012 and Brown would be a gold medal contender. Try and keep your Economy on track and see how far it can veer off-course and crash!

Go and have an election Brown, give the country a fresh start. 10 years in power is to much for anyone.
