Ipsos MORI Give Murphy Little To Smile About

22nd January 2015

If there was a slight smile on Jim Murphy’s face at the news on Sunday that, according to Panelbase, the SNP’s lead for May’s general election had dropped from 17 points to 10, it will have disappeared on hearing the news from Ipsos MORI for STV last night that with just 24% support, his party […]


Labour Still Have A Mountain To Climb: New Survation Poll
