The thing is Farage isn’t going to stand down as leader of Reform, the king isn’t going to dissolve parliament, Starmer isn’t going to call an election. This is all crackers. Quite entertaining though.
So what results do you get if you ask Sir Humphrey's polling questions? @IpsosUK decided to try it. We showed 1,000 Brits his pro national service poll and 1,000 his anti national service poll. Results:
Sample A: 45% in favour of national service, 38% say no.
Sample B: 48%
Yes, Prime Minister once featured a sketch where Sir Humphrey once showed us all how not to do opinion polling.
But what would the results of his two polls actually have been?

Honestly, I cannot understand why we’re talking about earrings & Boris Johnson’s future with ambulance, GP & A&E waiting times what they are. The NHS should’ve been a 10-15 minute segment here. What’s mad is it’s been like this throughout the campaign 🤷♀️
