No change in election polls as leaders battle over NHS

Voter fatigue might be setting in, as hardly any progress has been made in the polls ahead of the December 12 General Election.

The Lib Dems, Tories, Greens and Labour have remained stagnant while the Brexit Party dropped to 3%, giving one point away to all other parties.

Boris Johnson’s party currently have a 10 point lead over their main rivals, down 1% from a week ago – showing little movement in public opinion.

This morning’s average results of polls from the past seven days come as the battle rages on over the future of the National Health Service.

Labour managed to narrow the gap with its rival on Wednesday after Jeremy Corbyn unveiled purportedly leaked documents which he said proved the NHS was up for grabs in a post-Brexit US trade deal.

But today Donald Trump said he wouldn’t want to service even if it was ‘handed on a silver platter’ as he arrived in the UK for a two day Nato summit.

Fact checkers have said that if the document is legitimate, it shows the US is interested in the UK’s health and pharmaceutical markets, but says nothing about where the UK stands on it.

But now the validity of the document has come into question, with some suspecting it could have been the result of foreign interference.

social media analytics firm Graphika and US-based international affairs think-tank The Atlantic Council said the way the dossier was originally circulated online has similarities to the Russian Secondary Infektion misinformation campaign.

But speaking on ITV’s This Morning, Corbyn defended his unveiling of the unredacted notes and said: ‘I held the dossier up because it had been released, and I’ve seen it, and at no stage until today when this new conspiracy theory arose has anyone challenged the correctness of that document, the veracity of that document.’
