I’m still not sure what to make of ICM’s Wisdom poll. But it shows Tories/Lab tied and LDs on 16% so I’ll take it. http://bit.ly/17gJX4j

Jonathan Calder points out (accurately) that the Observer tells only half the story on Sarah Teather http://bit.ly/1e3qie8

Re Falkirk, the “evidence” seems to have been the claims by some Unite members to have been signed up to Labour without their knowledge.
Allegedly, they were persuaded to withdraw their claims as part of a “Peace Deal” intended to avoid arguments at The TUC Conference. The “Deal” seems to have come unstuck almost as soon as it was agreed.

PS When I wrote the above I hadnt seen the new allegations made by The MP in The Guardian, these muddy the water even more.
