At times it feels these types of markets exist purely to contribute to the Bookies Christmas bonus fund, but I quite like Edstone at 2/1 given the prominence it was given during the campaign and afterwards, you get the feeling at least one the leadership contenders will mention it in tomorrow night’s BBC debate.

I'd rather vote Galloway than Jowell. But I don't have a vote this time.
(And why isn't it 'down and up the country'...?)
Nothing makes that much appeal - maybe "on the doorstep" @ evens?
@JoeMurphyLondon: First Big @YouGov Poll for 2016 Mayoral race... Zac Goldsmith would LOSE to Tessa Jowell, but DRAW with Sadiq Khan http://t.co/mpnzSO4UKY
I'd take Jowell over Khan any day of the week.
The most bizzare thing in that article is George Galloway proposing a Battle of Britain weekend to recreate the spirit of the Blitz.
I'd have thought 'hard choices' a good bet.
As the debate unfolds, Jeremy Corbyn will become the new Nick Clegg. “I agree with Nick”, will become the catchphrase of the contest. Actually, it will be more subtly phrased. “I don’t usually agree with Jeremy, but I have to say that on this…”
As there are no odds available, I take it every candidate will avoid mentioning ED..!
Ok, enough Star Trek.
No odds for 'capitalist pigdogs'?
'Tory deception' seems a possibility to me, given the comfort blanket of it that has been intermittently used.
You'd be suprised how many variations there are on hard/tough/difficult decisions/choices etc.
Shadsy is (quite reasonably, IMHO) playing it safe here and trying to recoup some of his losses from the GE, and show Ladbrokes politicalbetting can be profitable for his firm.
Fair enough, but I'm not playing.
How long do they speak for?
- I'm sure that Jeremy will mention "Tory Cuts"
- One of the Ladies may say something about "Woman Leader"
- "Need for a debate" will also be mentioned.
- Swallow the Tory Manifesto
and of course,
- PB.com say that....
BTW did the last thread set a record for remaining on topic for the longest time?

I wouldn't be surprised to hear a candidate utter those four words in that order, even if it's to say something like: "It'd be too simplistic to say we spent too much, in fact... lower debt/GDP ratio than under Major... banking crisis...".

Has Labour got a stock of microwaves that they need to clear out? What is the story behind that one? I though it was just owls...
'Tory cuts' is a definite, I'd agree with that. 'Callous Tories' or something from Jeremy seem slikely, but too many variations are possible to guess, unless he has a catch phrase.
Still, the early signs about Miliband’s electoral instincts were not good. In the weeks before the European elections that May, Miliband’s pitch to the public remained mostly incoherent.
On 15 May, a week before the vote, Miliband met with David Axelrod – Barack Obama’s chief campaign adviser, who had signed on as a consultant to the Labour campaign for an astronomical fee – at Corrigan’s, an upscale Mayfair restaurant. During the meal, Beales was fielding calls from Miliband, who was still asking him to think of a slogan for the remaining week of the European election campaign;
Axelrod was appalled by the low quality of the ideas being discussed, which he derisively characterised as “Vote Labour and win a microwave”.

"Transformational Dynamism' I've got a feeling one of them will try for some stupid jargony catchphrase to encompass their views, you see.
I loved Mr Robot and can't wait for E2
"Hard Working Families" (are there any other sort?), "Learn the Lessons" and maybe "Hard Choices" & "Tough Decisions" although the latter two could be mixed up with each other.
SNP and Immigration at 1/5 might be worth a pile in, or might just be Shadsy's summer bonus.
"On the doorstep" quite a flexible phrase - "what I heard on the doorstep", "didn't go down well on the doorstep" etc.

Jones: “You’ve never, ever, ever, ever come up with a single constructive policy proposal about what you’d like to see Labour doing. You don’t add anything constructive to the debate. What does Dan Hodges stand for?”
Hodges: “Actually, I did Owen. I said look at what Ed Miliband’s doing and do the opposite.”

The more interesting (but much more disturbing) angle would be to keep them passive and subservient to their original programming but increasingly sentinent. Then to show how, in reality, such 'synths' would become widely physically, verbally and sexually abused and exploited. In fact, some might be bought for that purpose alone.
Having an exploitable 'slave' - all behind closed doors - can bring out the very worst and most base instincts of humanity.
Any thoughts?
Not.

Speaking at an arms fair, Mr Putin said the weapons would be able to overcome even the most technically advanced anti-missile defence systems.
It comes after the US proposed increasing its military presence in Nato states in Eastern Europe.

Edit Almost Human was fun and challenging, and canned by Fox after a single season. I thought given the success of Fringe they'd have stuck with it. Hohum. That was android cop partners.
What odds for "Say what you like about Adolf Hitler, but at least he made the trains run on time? " "Maybe it is time to privatise the NHS?" "Ed Milliband was a truly inspirational leader?"
Far more interesting than the revolt of the machines.
Plural? - I’m only aware of one broadcaster that regularly features utterly discredited loons like Blanchflower, Toynbee and Owen Jones.

- "It is time for Labour to disband"
- "We have been wrong about everything for ever"
- "We deserved this, because we are cocks"
- "Owen Jones is a total cockwomble"
- "We are morally incompetent"
- "We let children get raped because it was Asians doing it"
- "We brought back filthy Dickensian workhouses"
- "I read Dickens at Cambridge and I was really impressed. By Mr Bumble the Beadle and Wackford Squeers"
- "What's wrong with marrying Ed Balls rather than despising him?"
- "We need a leader who, unlike Ed, actually has a nasal bone"
- "The challenge Labour must address, comrades, is how we hide our contempt for the voters"
- "Tony Blair will probably at some point do time"
- "The point is, ladies and gentleman, that envy - for lack of a better word -- is good. Envy is right. Envy works. Envy clarifies, cuts through, and captures the essence of the socialist spirit. Envy in all of its forms -- envy of other people's houses, envy of other people's schools, envy of other people's pensions, cars, education -- has marked the upward surge of socialism. And envy - you mark my words - will not only save t'Labour Party, but that other malfunctioning corporation called Scotland."
"I was walking on Hampstead Heath the other day and I met a man called Colin. We fell into conversation and he said to me, 'Ed, what I want Labour to do is focus on jobs and fairness. Can I suck your ****?'"
Pre-election polls suggest the incumbent red and opposition blue blocs are virtually neck and neck before Thursday’s vote"
