VAR has made Premier League matches less enjoyable to watch, according to 67% of regular viewers. Just 13% say it has improved the viewing experience yougov.co.uk/topics/sport/a…
In November VAR chief Neil Swarbrick gave the system a 7/10. Premier League viewers only give it a 4/10 on average yougov.co.uk/topics/sport/a…
It's not like football fans think video refereeing systems can't work well - they see it working in other sports. Here's the % who think they work well in...

Tennis - 73%
Cricket - 67%
Rugby Union - 63%
Rugby League - 49%
Football - 27%

Football fans may hate VAR, but only 15% think it should be scrapped. They think it has to change though - 74% want to keep it but improve it, while only 8% want to keep it as it is. yougov.co.uk/topics/sport/a…
So how do fans think VAR should be improved?

81% - being able to see video footage at same time as refs
80% - encouraging refs to consult pitch-side screens
73% - time limit on decisions
71% - being able to hear refs discussion

YouGov's @chriscurtis94 takes a look at who Lab-Con switchers are, what they believe and why they jumped ship in today's @timesredbox.

49% of this group say the main reason they switched their allegiance due to Brexit. While only 27% cited the leader...

thetimes.co.uk/edition/commen…
...that's not to say that Lab-Con switchers like Jeremy Corbyn - they really, really don't. Just 5% hold a favourable view of the outgoing Labour leader, while 76% have a very unfavourable view.

By contrast, 81% have a favourable view of Boris Johnson.

thetimes.co.uk/edition/commen…
74% of Lab-Con switchers say that Labour left them, not the other way around. The party "used to represent people like me, but no longer does".

46% say the Tories never used to represent people like them, but does so now.

1. If Keir Starmer becomes the next leader of the Labour party then he would certainly be a lot better than Corbynite fellow-travellers like RLB and Clive Lewis but if you were to pick a leader specifically with the seats you lost in the last GE in mind he is (arguably) not ideal
2. Not because he is a posh, m/class, Southern, lawyer type. Boris Johnson is an Eton-educated posho classics scholar who has just won Burnley&Bassetlaw (here comes the but) but BoJo staked his career on something that the ppl of Burnley&Bassetlaw clearly wanted, namely Brexit.
3. What does Keir Starmer offer the people of Leigh, Burnley & Bassetlaw? Not Brexit, thats for sure, and as a corollary, the cultural conservatism these voters want. Does he even have the ability to reach out to the voters Labour have been losing for the last 14 years?

Why is Jeremy Corbyn so unpopular?

His net approval rating is 'minus 60' - that's heroically, historically poor.

But why? And is there a way back, like 2017?

Been pondering with help of @chriscurtis94 @robfordmancs @ProfTimBale My latest 1/thread

telegraph.co.uk/politics/2019/…
@chriscurtis94 @robfordmancs @ProfTimBale So Just how unpopular is @jeremycorbyn? Well, the answer is off-the-charts unpopular.

Negative 60. The worst approval rating ever received by a Labour or Conservative leader, according to Ipsos/Mori /2
@chriscurtis94 @robfordmancs @ProfTimBale @jeremycorbyn It's actually a game of two halves - as @chriscurtis94 observes - which saw Corby start life as leader fairly unpopular, then around the 2017 election his numbers went up, but since then (since the Glastonbury 2017 peak) they crashed. /3

I'm wondering about #Brexit and political identity, and how much this can explain the #ep2019 result in the UK, and might inform what Tories and Labour might try to do if there were a UK General Election
What the UK population things about Brexit is well documented in this PDF ukandeu.ac.uk/wp-content/upl… by @UKandEU
The hardening of voter sentiment about the EU question is covered by this polling from YouGov yougov.co.uk/topics/politic…

I have taken the 2014 European election votes and the recent YouGov survey (link) showing expected voting patterns in the upcoming European elections broken down by area/party, and projected how many MEPs they'd win. Pro-Remain parties are indicated by "*"

UKIP: 0 (-2)
Tories: 1 (-1)
Labour: 1 (=)
*Green: 1 (+1)
*LibDems: 0 (=)
Brexit: 2 (+2)
*Change UK: 0 (N/A)

*Pro-Remain Voting Recommendation: Green
