The debut poll by new polling firm Deltapoll, founded by former YouGov pollster Joe Twyman and ICM’s Martin Boon, has found that more than half of voters think Labour has an anti-Semitism problem and over a third think Jeremy Corbyn is himself anti-Semitic. 51% think Labour has at least pockets of anti-Semitism, and 34% think those pockets include the leader. That’s one poll Owen Jones won’t be gloating about.

Opinion polls measure opinions. Empirically verifiable matters are not opinion.

In central Europe in 1932, you could have held a poll that found most people believed Jews eat their own babies. If opinion is what you want, so be it. But it has nothing to do with reality.

Still, it must be noted: There's actual and demonstrated harm, then there's talk about it. This is the latter.
