    The applause for Leave is very telling

    In case you missed it, I'll take the £20 on the 14/1 on Dr Wollaston bet.
    OK remind me again of the terms please
    If Remain wins, and Sarah Wollaston becomes a minister by the end of 2016, you win £20
    If Remain wins, and Sarah Wollaston does not become a minister by the end of 2016, I win £280

    If Leave wins, bet void
    If this debate informs the undecideds, then bet void.

    She has that Thatcher ability to make things very clear very articulately. Very directly to the point.

    Whether you agree with her or not, it's a great skill.

    Rudd has put me off the environment. Makes me want to set fire to my wheelie bin.

    LOL yes but she might spank you first, in her best leathers.
    I actually think she comes across with a warmer nature. A firm, but fair boss.

    You know what he was like when a 50/1 came in.
    Brilliant bet.

    She's great. Ticks all the boxes. Grammar school girl. The new Thatcher.

    If Remain wins, and Sarah Wollaston does not become a minister by the end of 2016, I win £280

    If Leave wins, bet void
    Done, do you want my bank details?
    Not yet, Tissue Price and Pulpstar want £25 each I think
    OK send the money and you have the bet.
    I'll lodge the money with Peter the Punter.
    Eh? Do you want the bet or not?
    Is how it works on PB, we lodge the money with Peter.
    No idea who he is, don't bother if you don't want to put your hand in your pocket.
    I want the bet, and I'll transfer the money in the morning.

    VM you details

    In case you missed it, I'll take the £20 on the 14/1 on Dr Wollaston bet.

    He's not trolling you, it's been a long standing custom on PB to lodge bets with PtP, who is the equivalent of the Iron Bank of Braavos.
    I'm still owed money from a bet on here

    Is there anything wrong with the following argument?

    1) The Sun looks as though it will continue to back Leave, ever more explicitly and strongly
    2) The Sun always backs the winner
    3) Therefore Leave at 3\1 is a definite buy

    Interesting. ITV news saying that Remain came together... to attack Boris.

    Surprisingly comprehensive win for LEAVE. Doubt it will shift more than a few thousand votes, sadly.

    The most remarkable thing was that REMAIN didn't even win the bit on the economy, which was probably a score draw.

    Who thought it would be a good idea to get Rudd, Sturgeon and Eagle? BAD decision.

    Yes. A poor selection for Remain.

    Clear win for Leave.

    Trouble is that the Wembley debate will be the crucial one and Remain will absolutely learn their lesson from this, and Leave won't be able to coordinate that one anything like as effectively.

    The Euros start tomorrow.

    The attention of the country will move elsewhere.
