Marie Le Conte @youngvulgarian 2h2 hours ago More What happens if Fillon ends up having to drop out? Well-liked candidate Juppé has already said he wouldn't run as second choice, so...Sarko?
At 180 on BF. Definitely a wild flutter, but if 2016 is like 2017...DYOR.
I think Juppe would end up running. His denial that he would run is only to be expected, anything less would be seen as putting pressure on Fillon and possibly pre-judging the issue.
His Party would want a candidate who would have the best chance for success and he was not only the runner-up in the Primary, ahead of Sarkozy but was also riding high in the polls up until the time of his exclusion.
Yes, with reflection you are probably right. £2 on him at 85 sorts out that potential hole. Thanks.
Presumably the narrative will change somewhat after tomorrow evening at 8pm EST, when Trump announces his Supreme Court pick - will it be Gorsuch or Hardiman? Trump's sister is on the same bench as Hardiman.
I see we're posting old snippets on here.... I've just changed PC and found I took one in my 'post it note' thingy in outlook... can't remember why exactly... was it that I thought someone was counting chickens at the time???

Jesus every time you post I feel like the grim reaper of doom is trying to pull my French book apart.
LOL, sorry. I do not mean to cause you nor anyone else consternation about their French betting books. Tis just my opinion, which may be right or wrong.

As I say, based on 2016, there's no reason to assume all sorts of wild stuff might yet happen. I'm trying to stay green on all comers. Won't win more than a few quid if favourite Fillon wins, but otherwise will be pretty good.
Leavers spend the whole of 2016 drawing wildly irrational comparisons with the Second World War and now in 2017 we're supposed to believe that those types of references are so over?
Full marks for hypocrisy for the foaming Europhobes.
And it's full marks for you for another fine example of screaming metropolitan hyperbole. Bravo.
To be fair David Cameron was compared unfavourably with Neville Chamberlain countless times on here. Coming back from a visit to a country with an insane far right leader with a sort of deal to the cheers of the Mail seems a far better comparison.
This is a political gesture for his right wing base. That is all.
Actually I doubt that that is right. As far as we can see from the chaotic early days of the Trump presidency, it seems to me that he is genuine and sincere, i.e. he really does believe that the US has taken a whole bunch of missteps and it's up to him to reverse them.
If I'm right, it isn't necessarily good news, of course. Rather the opposite, I fear.

@SkyNewsBreak: Washington State attorney general Bob Ferguson says he will file lawsuit in federal court against Trump over his immigration executive order
Just watching the Commons on BBC Parliament and it strikes me that there are a disproportionate number of SNP members asking questions. I guess they have nothing better to do as I guess they don't have that much constituency work to do. If you have a problem, you'd go to your MSP.
You are just not used to MP's working . The usual troughers are in the bar supping subsidised champers. SNP show what real MP's should be doing.

It certainly seems odd criticising MPs for, er, asking questions in parliament.
Of course it is our business - what Trump does has a direct affect on us and perceptions of us. We march hand-in-hand with him, after all. The Prime Minister wants to lead the world in partnership with him. She has put the UK's eggs in the US's basket. She has made US policies a matter for debate in the UK.
US policies are always a matter for debate in the UK, and we always march hand-in-hand with them on most major issues. That doesn't mean that the UK government should be so presumptuous as to try to tell a democratically-elected president of the US, no matter how vulgar and simplistic he is, that he shouldn't implement a campaign promise on which he was elected and which, we are told, doesn't affect British citizens.
In any case, the reaction is ludicrous. Perhaps people like Yvette Cooper and Ed Miliband really do think Trump has introduced a ban on Muslims. There's much fake news about, and perhaps they've fallen for it.
For the avoidance of doubt, I'm not defending Trump' policy. I'm defending his right to be an idiot, within the bounds of US and international law, since he is, for better or worse, the democratically-elected president. Comparisons with the 1930s are completely bonkers. So far he has put in place a 90-day ban on the granting of visas to citizens of a few countries. He hasn't bombed anyone, or set up an internment camp in Guantanamo Bay to which people are sent without trial, as Blair's bestest friend did.
It's not just a visa ban, it's also denial of entry to those with valid visas. And some have been detained for long periods without access to a lawyer.
RN.
I'm not defending Trump policy.....
I'd be interested to know what you'd have written if you were. The problem with Tories and I include Blair is that their morality is very much second to expediency and it always has been.
R4 reports Verhofstadt as saying Trump is as much a threat as radical Islam. I think/hope that's OTT but I know which bloc I'd rather be allied with. We're headed from the frying pan into the fire.
Today commenting on the USA. "This is the European Union and in the European Union we do not discriminate on the basis of nationality, race or religion," said the spokesman, Margaritis Schinas.
This is the same EU that has numerous directives which actively discriminate against third country nationals who are not from an EU country…

Tbh if you were the specific representative of your nation, I'd find it very difficult not to feel superior. I can only hope my better nature would kick in.
Corbyn refers to "the petition supporting my calls"! He doesn't quite grasp the concept of "valid visa" either.
Why didn't Trump do this the grown-up way and have the acting Secretary of State call in the ambassadors and inform them that the US would no longer allow entry to their citizens?
The answer is that he wants to be a tough bully; he wants a fair-sized proportion of the US population thinking that refugees being denied entry because they're "possible turrurists" or "Moooslims" - no more wimpish, snowflaky, politically correct, cucky "caring" about the interests of these non-white foreigners - is the greatest thing they've ever heard. It's like watching the wrestling but for real, and no "librulz" are gonna tell them what they should and shouldn't think, etc. You can imagine them going "YEAH! GO TRUMP!" when they watch the TV. This is why. There was no imminent danger from any of the people who had already been issued with visas - no new intelligence.

Sky poll also finds that 49% are opposed to Trump-style ban of Moslems entering the UK; 34% in favour.
Interesting.
Also find it rather odd that PB is attempting to characterise the opposition to Trump's ban as 'extreme'. The debate in the HoC tonight was put forward by not only by Ed Miliband, but also by Nadhim Zahawi. The tone of many MPs on the centre-left was also reflected by several Conservative MPs on twitter, particularly in support of Nadhim Zahawi. Sarah Wollaston is only one example.
Some people only this site are really playing themselves if they truly believe that strong, strong opposition to this ban is limited to loony lefties.
Also re this ban going down well in the US - really? There are huge protests across several American cities. Trump's approval rating continues to decline; gallup reported today he broke the records in having a 51% disapproval rating within only eight days into his Presidency. It seems that rather than it only being the left that oppose Donald Trump, many Americans across the political spectrum seem to have a poor opinion of him, and his conduct as President of the United States.

One poll doesn't make Ramussen a reliable pollster overall. Several other polls also showed Clinton winning the popular vote as well. Ramussen is telling us Trump has a 59% approval rating while every other pollster is telling us otherwise.

I am opposed to the ban and the crass way it has been introduced. It is to be hoped the judiciary and sensible republicans can mitigate it. However it was Trump's policy and we need to see US polls on how the US are reacting.
There is a need not to give a knee jerk reaction and to pursue council with those close to Trump. We have managed to at least obtain a hearing and it would not be in our interests to prejeudice that understanding, as much as it would give us great pleasure to do so

The only who is getting played is Trump. For someone who sees himself as a man of the people, it looks like many of the American people are turning against him. And, looking at his twitter it's clearly getting under his skin.
I also think that this mobilisation of the left is actually good thing. The Left for a long time has lacked direction and purpose. Perhaps Trump will spur them on to rectify that. I probably won't like the SCOTUS appointment. Is voicing opposition to something mean that someone is self righteously wailing? Really?

Trump's approval rating continues to decline; gallup reported today he broke the records in having a 51% disapproval rating within only eight days into his Presidency. It seems that rather than it only being the left that oppose Donald Trump, many Americans across the political spectrum seem to have a poor opinion of him, and his conduct as President of the United States.
You just seemed disproportionately angry and out of character.
Opening fire on people in a place of worship is obviously terrorism.

The original implication was that Trudeau almost immediately identifying it as terrorism would mean that once it turned out to be Muslims wot done it there couldn't be any 'mental illness' backtracking.

EDIT: The Sky poll is showing that 49% oppose Trump's policy.
He hits them with some new indignation every day
Can anyone remember what last weeks gasps of incredulity were ?
The protests cant keep up with the pace. SCOTUS next this week, stand by for self righteous wailing
There is a need not to give a knee jerk reaction and to pursue council with those close to Trump. We have managed to at least obtain a hearing and it would not be in our interests to prejeudice that understanding, as much as it would give us great pleasure to do so
Fucken...can't be from Scotland.
I also think that this mobilisation of the left is actually good thing. The Left for a long time has lacked direction and purpose. Perhaps Trump will spur them on to rectify that. I probably won't like the SCOTUS appointment. Is voicing opposition to something mean that someone is self righteously wailing? Really?
