Labour is currently in record breaking territory.

The recent local elections saw UKIP wiped out (their consolation can be that nationally they have effectively taken control of the Conservative Party). But the Labour Party did something that has not been achieved by Her Majesty’s Loyal Opposition for decades: For the third successive year the party ended up with a net loss of seats in local elections. This is impressive stuff. Only 19% think leader Jeremy Corbyn would make the best prime minister, compared to 61% for Theresa May – and it is worth noting that her ratings are ahead of both Blair and Thatcher on this. Another record.
