Even before the hammer blow of yesterday’s Supreme Court ruling, it was for many a damning indictment on Jeremy Corbyn and Labour, that in a time of such disarray and division in the (now minority) government, that they are still behind in the polls and showing no real signs of being able to beat Boris Johnson and the Tories in an election.
As Statista’s Martin Armstrong points out, this situation is now also underscored by historic survey analysis by Ipsos MORI. Going all the way back to 1977, there hasn’t been a leader of the opposition which has inspired so little confidence among the British public.

Which, of course, explains why he does’t want an election and is blocking it. The fools think we can’t see that. This, however, is only increasing his unpopularity. Which the fool also, it seems can’t see.
The banks (i.e. Jewish power in the UK) do not want Corbyn, so they did the ‘anti-semitism’ number on him. That plus the fact that he did not support Brexit, and now is playing political games by not going forward with a new election, in order to sabotage Brexit … is why he has fallen in the polls. A year ago, he would have won the election without a problem.
