Just 14% back the privatisation of Channel 4 – politicalbetting.com
Just 14% back the privatisation of Channel 4 – politicalbetting.com
Given how controversial Johnson’s plan for Channel 4 is then this latest polling is hardly going to help his move. This is especially the case because of the reported level of opposition from Tory MPs and the need to get the bill through the House of Lords.

Trip 1: Arrive into Baku, then Lankaran, Qakh, Shamkir, Naftalan, depart Baku
Trip 2: Arrive into Baku, then Sabirabad, Ismishlli, Guba, Khachmaz, depart Baku.
I pretty much know what I want to do and see in Baku. Any ideas for the other locations, or en route between?
PS Not telling the wife that this takes me within 10 miles of Russia (Dagestan), 5 miles of Nagorno-Kharabakh, and 20 miles of Iran.

Cunning bit of BBC advertising.

Tomorrow I’m planning to walk to Roses, then spend the next couple of days walking round the coast to France. I’m then going to track inland, as far as I feel I can safely walk to Vernet-les-Bains, if the walk starts to look too steep then I’ll catch a bus or train there. Then from there I’m planning to ride the Little Yellow Train https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ligne_de_Cerdagne to Bourg-Madame back on the border with Spain, where I can walk across to Puigcerdà on the Spanish side and catch a bus to Andorra La Vella (where I will get a picture of the parliament building).
Then I’ll head back to Girona via volcano land and tortoise world.
This plan could all change tomorrow of course! But I do like the look of that train ride..
Although they should be aware he committed suicide in a bunker with his children when he lost.
What is C4 privatisation for?
But it is up to the House of Lords now rather than "most people".
Whether Channel 4 is actually privatised or not - I doubt he gives a monkeys.

People look at CoL and prices rising and they ask, why is the Government doing nothing and instead fighting men with vaginas and Channel 4?
This is why they are going down, down, down.
Meanwhile, on the trans thing, they have merely aligned with Labour’s policy. Rachel Reeves said much the same last week.

Such transfers have “never been done that fast before”
Also, I reckon the majority of people would be very surprised to discover that Channel 4 is state owned.
He will not even be an MP in five years imho.
His time on the greasy pole is soon at an end.

Cui bono?
Bnng back Ken Clarke
The London median wage is £34,439 compared to the UK median wage of £25,971
And you joyously celebrated as Clarke was removed from the Tory Party.
You’re like a parody of yourself at times
But the electoral register is the most convenient way to keep an accurate record of numbers.
You may try to troll my posts but it is so juvenile and tedious
Although iirc the reality is she got a nursing aide to actually do the kids in with morphine.
I assume you didn’t get the reference BTW
Meanwhile we have a chancellor putting up taxes while his wife dodges them.
Is it time to bet on a Labour majority yet?
This is the cone hotline all over again
You would have had Corbyn running the country
But from the point of a view of a movement who need a Culture War against the left to fight, it's a problem.
If Starmer refuses to walk through the doors labelled "This is the Brexit War Trap" and "This is the Culture War Trap", what is the modern Conservative Party for? Anything else they try is going to be unpopular with most of their opponents and a fair chunk of their supporters.
Your judgment is terrible
Back in 1978 (when I first moved to Ilford), the council was 50 Conservative, 13 Labour.
Do they have no shame?
Not in manifesto.
Nadine gone in the summer reshuffle.
Barnacles must be removed in run up to 2024 GE.
But who knows. Maybe he had a heavy cold, asymptomatic Covid and now has the flu.
They would be better keeping the powder dry just in case somehow he recovers in the autumn by undoing most of this spring budget and starting to help people who are being hammered.
If Channel 4 didn’t exist at the moment would it be the right use of £1bn of taxpayers money to create a moderately successful but largely undifferentiated Tv channel. There’s a heck of a lot of more deserving applications
If Boris removes the incompetent but loyal, who is left?
REPLACING Boris Johnson with one of the frontrunners in contention for the Tory leadership would only serve to boost support for independence in Scotland, a new poll has found...
The poll of 1029 Scottish adults found that should Chancellor Rishi Sunak take over as Prime Minister, 13% of Scots said they would be more likely to support a Yes vote. This is opposed to the 6% who said they’d be more likely to oppose independence.
The effect was even more pronounced should Liz Truss, the Foreign Secretary, take over from Johnson at the head of the Conservative Party. The YouGov poll found that 15% of Scots would be more likely to support leaving the UK if Truss was at its head, while just 5% would be more likely to vote No.

...until the U-turn when you will be against.
Got to be Penny Mordaunt.
If the argument is crikey we desperately need £1b then why is Sunak making promises to cut income tax to 19p sometime over the rainbow?
And £1 billion a year is surprsingly little at the level of a country. If we're talking a one-off receipt, it's a rounding error.
Alternatively- if that's the level of Family Silver Selling we're at, things are really bad. It's like selling your grandparent's wedding photos- the sentimental value far exceeds the cash that can be released.
We have photographic proof Sunak and Javid at the least went to see Star Wars together, so I suppose they might be friendly.
Got email yesterday morning from my health provider, with number to call for appointment, which I made for next day (today).
Waited on hold on phone to make appointment longer than I had to wait in line for actual jab.

It's an internet panel recruited via mechanical turk with no demographic weighting, so ignore the actual numbers. The interesting part is the difference between the numbers you get with and without the preference-concealment trick, which are 68% vs 53%, ie a 15-point drop.
So when you see polls showing 80% support, it's probably not really 80%... but it's definitely over 50%.
That seems comparable to US polling of the Iraq War, support for a ground invasion seems to have been around 60% before, 70% immediately after.
