Labour pull clear of Tories as new poll shows voters prefer Corbyn over May as PM

3. No problem. The Independent site's coding's always been odd.

I had to grapple with me mouse to avoid copying and pasting the whole page, then there's their weirdness with en rules that disappear in their online versions of articles.

I dunno. I haven't seen any comparative polling of the possible contenders for May replacements except within the Tory Party itself. And what little I have seen recently ranked Ruth Davidson as second.

Apart from the fact she's not an MP and might have trouble being parachuted into a seat Down South (she barely managed to scrape a directly elected MSP seat in their last "wave" election up here, and she's apparently been too busy being a telly star to demean herself to hold any constituency surgeries), it's a pretty desperate party that doesn't see through her schtick. She's also in the not too distant past been rather vocally anti-Brexit, though she always has other principles if you don't like her ones of the moment.

It's an even more desperate party that flails around between thinking Boris Johnson or Jacob Rees-Mogg constitute the answer to all their problems, of course.
