Peter Wilson: Week in Politics - Bad poll for Labour, more policies and a National MP in trouble

By the end of the week the 1News Verian poll, released on Monday, had been thoroughly analysed and it was grim reading for Labour.

National had gained two points to reach 37 percent, Labour had dropped four points and had slumped to 29 percent.

Commentators reached similar conclusions - it was very bad news for Labour.
