Seven months after its fourth successive General Election defeat, Labour hovers around eight to 10 points behind. 

In 1992, seven months after its fourth successive General Election defeat, Labour was 33 points ahead. At that time, only the most obsessive political anorak had ever heard of Tony Blair.

At this rate, Labour will soon have more members than voters.
