It's official: Labour is now more unpopular than it was AT ANY TIME under Jeremy Corbyn's leadership - and have the support of just 1 in 8 voters in Scotland

The new GB-wide poll from Find Out Now has Labour at just 16% of the vote - lower than they ever fell at any time under Jeremy Corbyn's five years as leader.  In this video I also bring you the Scottish subsample numbers, plus the full results from the latest GB-wide Techne poll.  And before anyone screams at me about my shocking lack of knowledge, since recording the video I've looked up the word "techne" and now know what it means, although I'm still a bit hazy about its pronunciation.   St Maurice's High School in Cumbernauld was, needless to say, pretty hot on Ancient Greek, so I must have been off sick that day.

It's PARTY TIME for Plaid Cymru as stunning new Senedd poll gives them DOUBLE the support of Labour

My new YouTube commentary is about yet another remarkable Welsh Senedd poll from YouGov, which once again shows Plaid Cymru in the lead, putting Rhun ap Iorwerth firmly on course to become Plaid's first ever First Minister.  I also have the Scottish subsample numbers from the latest GB-wide YouGov poll, which are once again excellent for the SNP and dreadful for Labour.  (I've done Labour a slight injustice in the video, though - I said that I presumed these results would see them reduced to either one Scottish seat or zero Scottish seats at Westminster.  I've just checked and it would actually be three.  So not much better, but slightly better.)

Will Andy Burnham soon be the UK Prime Minister?

The main news of the day is the defection of Tory shadow minister Danny Kruger to Reform UK.  However, the bigger picture remains the question of how much longer Keir Starmer can stagger on as a zombie Prime Minister, and he may actually be happy enough if the Kruger defection distracts from his own plight for a little while.  There's a lot of speculation about whether Andy Burnham, the Mayor of Greater Manchester, may attempt to get back into parliament via a by-election and then topple Starmer.  In today's YouTube commentary, I consider whether or not that possibility should be regarded as credible - and I also explore what the implications might be for the SNP.
