#POLLS
A new poll for Yougov said that if the election was held again, Jeremy Corbyn’s Labour could form a majority Government.
@Rachel_swindon
tweeted: “And they call Corbyn unelectable? I’m sure ‘moderate’ MPS will be retweeting this poll like they did when Labour were at 26 per cent.”
@Glenmitchell1 cautioned: “With Labour taking a big poll lead with Yougov it’s important to remember Ed Miliband regularly had big poll leads over David Cameron.”
@Benfolley noted: “Labour are now polling at 46 per cent under Jeremy Corbyn. Highest poll result since February 2002, a year before the Iraq invasion, meaning a 15-year high.”
@Daniel_cousins said: “Everyone getting giddy over a Labour government because of a poll lead. There’s isn’t a General Election anytime soon. Tories will not stand still.”
#TRUMP
US President Donald Trump met his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin ahead of the G20 summit in Germany, as controversy still rages over alleged Russian interference in US Presidential election.
@Karencrisci1 tweeted: “Trump and Putin meet for the first – handshake and pleasantries. Hope they can work together and squash ISIS and radical Islam.”
@Eugenegu predicted: “Trump and Putin will discuss: 1) Hacking the next election. 2) Eliminating pesky reporters. 3) Making Autocracy Great Again.
@Natureofthings7 added: “Face it, we will never know what Trump and Putin said during their meeting. All we can be sure of is that it will not be good for the USA.
#TRNSMTFEST
Scotland’s newest musical festival is TRNSMT, by the team behind T in the Park, the future of which is uncertain. Bands such as Radiohead and Kasabian will take to the stage on Glasgow Green.
@Nickbeecroft said: “These calories are getting smashed today! Burned my calorie goal and I’ve not even started jumping about like a wee guy yet!”
@Scotslicensing added: “Great atmosphere in Glasgow today for #TRNSMT... I’m hoping it goes so well it comes back next year & l can join in!”
@bottlemen_ fumed: “How does Trnsmt expect everyone to keep hold of a piece of paper for 3 days? just give us wristbands!”
