Surely, if everyone was so upset at the current government, this would have been reflected in the polls, and we would have seen a surge in Labour (and other parties) support?

btw, winning the by-election in Sheffield Brightside & Hillsborough was a bit a foregone conclusion, wasn't it, what with it being a very safe seat, and the widow of the previous incumbent standing for Labour?
Agree. If they are performing so underwhelmingly with the Tories infighting and on the back foot to such an extent, it really doesn't say too much for the Labour leadership.

Anyway I've heard Corbyn's Cabal have decided their PR needs a shiny new vehicle so they're working on a glossy fly on the wall documentary film to show them in a new light. Evidently it's going to be called:

"Carry on in Denial"
