Sunday stuff

Well the YouGov poll referred to in the post below seems to have been too uninteresting to make it into the Sunday Telegraph. Which makes me think one should only really pay attention to the regular monthly polls as done by the likes of YouGov and ICM. For how many polls do they conduct that don't support their commissioner's interests and never see the light of day? So when you do see a one-off poll, e.g. in the News of the World, be somewhat sceptical. It might even be a 'good' rogue poll.

Following Chris Lightfoot's lead I'll add a photograph -- it's from my roof terrace (which sounds much grander than it is), where I've just realised you can see the Trellick Tower. Which means the people who live there can see me.

Update - My mistake, it was a Sunday Times poll. Details here, though I think the Sunday Times spins it rather too much. In short Labour are on 34%, the Tories 37%, and 46% to 42% people think Blair should stand down before the next election. That doesn't seem particularly high to me.
