Incidentally, here's a tidbit for you. The Financial Conduct Authority is investigating links between polling firms and hedge funds.

@MonaChalabi @CaraPac46808618 @AaronBastani And remember: one of the co-founders of YouGov is Nadhim Zahawi, the 2nd highest earning MP in the UK. Who claimed almost 6 grand to help heat his riding stables. And who recently claimed on national telly that a Labour government would shoot rich people.
@MonaChalabi @CaraPac46808618 @AaronBastani And if we go back to 2015, which figure was the dominant individual in polling - despite not conducting the polls himself, but paying other companies for data? Companies whose identity he would not disclose?
