Labour fall through the 30 percent floor

A new ComRes poll has Labour at 27%, Conservative Home is reporting tonight. This is the lowest number Labour has recorded in this poll since April 2007 while the Conservative lead of 13 points is the largest one they have had with ComRes since it started regularly doing voting intention polls in October 2006. 

The Tories, however, have not made progress in terms of their own vote and are actually down one point to 40. This is the one thing that will give the Brownites cheer on what is a pretty ghastly night for them.
