YouGov accused of pulling poll which favoured Jeremy Corbyn following Nadhim Zahawi pressure

Summary by Ground News
Former YouGov employee Chris Curtis made the explosive claim on Twitter. He said bosses at the firm stopped him from publishing the findings of a survey following a TV debate during the 2017 election campaign. Mr Curtis said it showed that Jeremy Corbyn had won "by a mile." He also claimed that changes were made to YouGov’s polling methodology in the run-up to polling day which increased the Conservative lead.
