With COYOs gone I’m proud you’re filling in
This is a strange old hill to die on.
I’d suggest doubling down on a Twitter meme/conspiracy theory from 7 years ago and doing so despite reality not fitting its stated claim is a bit odd as well

Either you're not aware of the links between Yougov and the Tory party (unlikely but possible, I guess) or you're on a big old WUM.

It neither, I’m aware they were co founded by a former Conservative MP 24 years ago

My point is they aren’t controlled by the Conservative Party. Something the tired old meme you’re tripling down on claims.

Not everything is a conspiracy theory.

Some people just can't see them or have a vested interest in denying them.

Of course it's a WUM.

But if you genuinely think there is no 'link' between the Tories and Yougov despite knowing about Zahawi and Shakespeare, then bless.

Please present me with some evidence then that they are currently influencing the outcome of their polls…….. Just saying it doesn’t make it true.

YouGovs polls currently are in line with all other major pollsters, I assume you think they’re Tory owned as well?

I know you enjoy this conspiracy theory because it reminds you of the glory days of 2017 but you need to move on and start attacking the real enemy….. Starmer

All of a sudden the rate of inflation hits the magic 2% in May. Obviously very much a coincidence and not because of a looming election 🤔

It was trending towards that number anyway, was expected and was a big reason for the Tories’ election timetable

Not that it’ll make any difference to the poll numbers

Sorry, I missed the bit where i said Yougov are influencing the outcome of their polls?

All I’ve said is there are undeniable links between YouGov and the Tory party. That’s fact, such a fact it should probably be in capitals.

So they have historical links to a former Tory MP but their polls are accurate regardless

Glad we agree

No, they have current links. I'm sure the channels of communication are very much open.

I think you’ll find Zahawi has no shares in the company

The shares he received as founder were kindly gifted to a Gibraltar based trust controlled by his family instead

So the link is still there. We all know how Gibraltar family trusts work.

It's not just ex Tory Chancellor of the Exchequer Zahawi, of course.

Cut open his co-founder and current Chairperson Stephen Shakespeare and he too bleeds blue Tory blood all over the floor:

Do you think he was bleeding blue even when he was in the SWP?

Does anyone know how these public schoolboy Oxbridge types get so lucky in life and get all the best jobs?

With the amount of tactical voting that's been planned, along with the record number of late voter registrations, makes that Torygraph poll not out of the question.
