Another Charlie Chump Moment

Another long day and probably an evening in the Guy News edit suite but what a great spot by

the Fink

:

In yesterday's 

interview with Will Straw

, Charlie Whelan appears to have given up being a spin doctor and a political organiser and become, instead, a pollster.

He claims that it is not true that a third of Unite members are planning to vote Conservative because his own survey showed it was only about 8 per cent. It never occurs to him to wonder if their might be an interviewer bias in answers to a survey conducted by his own officials.

He describes the contrary evidence as:

Some Tory paper did a bogus poll of Unite members

But the poll was actually a 

balanced and representative survey

 of 1,023 members of the union conducted by Populus last year.

So presumably every poll that shows the Labour resurgence can be dismissed as bogus eh Charlie boy?
