Did you see that mini series with Robbie Coltrane as the tv star accused of being a paedo?
SPOILER
Despite all the lies and subterfuge, your initial instinct that he was a wrongun was right all along. Same with these people. All they ever wanted to do was overturn the result because they lost.
One more day of fine dining in NYC and I shall be aboard the good ship Queen Mary and mostly off the internet. What's the betting it will be resolved by the time I reach Southampton?
Approximately the same as TSE eating a pineapple pizza.
Funnily I was at a New York pizza joint yesterday lunchtime, and had to veto several of the pizza options I fancied because they had added pineapple to the offering
Is there any solid evidence on the predictive power of political betting markets?
Spectacular failures in the last few big events, right enough, along with the polling. The two are probably linked I’d say
Not an expert but thi site will give you valuable info for constituency bets as it gets nearer to the event but you actually need to know who isn’t talking bollocks

Well yes but it’s up to people to do their own research but after many years watching and participating on here some people are in the know.

From his comments to Andrew Neil, it appears far from certain that Philip Hammond will vote for Johnson's Deal. Others such as Gauke and Greening might well take a similar view.
Then he and they will likely be expelled from the Tory party, never mind have the whip restored
I feel for the poor sods (who you’ll never have heard of) who are doing all the hard graft crawling through the legal text line by line and doing all the details all night long.

Since the Tory Party seems to be writing off the moderates anyway.... that is hardly likely to be a disincentive.
How did your day go? The weather was nice enough in Belfast.

Well fine but thus ends their political career and they can be replaced by pro Brexit Tory candidates.
Yes was good weather, spent some time clambering around the rocks at Giant's Causeway, then went to the whisky distillery in Bushmills, then had a look at Dunluce Castle, then headed to Portrush followed by coffee and cake in Portstewart and finished off at the memorial in Ballykelly church which was poignant and well done.

Fake news, he's repeatedly said he's doing this pro bono publico and is in fact costing him money.
He doesn’t want parliament to debate a deal on Friday ?
Stinking hypocrite.
Given that Boris Johnson and his allies have repeatedly said they will break the law and ignore the Benn Bill you can understand why some people want to take pre-emptive action against the chap who made the Queen commit a unlawful fact.

Why should they suffer that fate given that Johnson and the ERG group MPs were not treated like that when they failed to support Theresa May's Deal?
He’s arguing the Withdrawal Agreement would breach a law passed by the ERG to prevent a soft Brexit
Yes, but if parliament wants to approve the WA, it could amend or repeal the relevant law pretty easily surely?
Can parliament do anything ‘pretty easilly’?
If there are the votes to approve the WA, yes. It's that part I don't think will happen, rendering the other part moot. But if there's political will to pass the WA, contradiction with another piece of legislation will not stymie that will.

What's good for the goose is nothing to do with the gander!
Tories who voted x 3 for May's deal now voting against Boris' ? Looking at the list I'd say between 0 and 4. The factors will be quite how ' Hard ' the PD is and whether the deal is going down anyway. If the PD is fluff and the deal is going to pass I'd say 0 or 1 depending on how Amber Rudd sees her future. As she walked rather than had the whip removed she's in by far the weakest position.

As Johnson and the ERG MPs still backed Brexit with No Deal over further extension, EUref2 or revoke.
While you also support expelling Labour MPs who vote for any Boris Brexit Deal, I assume you do not back expelling Labour MPs committed to back Remain in all circumstances or revoke against official Labour policy?
Is there anything to the Buttigieg hype? Someone said he has good organisation in Iowa and oodles of cash, but is it working?
He is 'Oxford-educated'
Ah, he went to Oxford Brookes.
So he was at the proper university in Oxford?
Well my daughters degree is from there so I don’t knock it, we can’t actually say Oxford is a brilliant place to develop broad minded analytical MPs with an ability to plan in detail and have a broad empathy with the general population.
If it were not possible Barnier surely would have stated that unambiguously, so I don't really see what the point of that statement is - if people think an extension is necessary no matter what, there's no need to dance around it.

Sadly was in the wrong direction.
Tomorrow not doing too much as heading back via Belfast ferry Friday morning, mainly pottering around Enniskillen and going to some museums and packing.
Will have to come again sometime and do a few more things like those you suggest
The Liberals' average poll rating has slipped below 30% in most recent polls. They got 39.4% last time. It's going to be difficult for Trudeau to stay in office unless the surveys are completely wrong.
By their standards Sturgeon would already be in jail and we’d have truckloads of police on the streets of Glasgow and Dundee.
No, she and they wouldn't. It was a referendum approved by the London government. Big difference.
I recall a recent R4 prog suggested Cameron has quite the fan club in Catalonia due to him going along with a legally recognised referendum. TSE and Catalans may be the last Cameroons.

But many of the ERG MPs voted against Mays Deal three times - indeed Johnson did so twice. Why should others be expelled for failing to do so on a single occasion?If May's Deal returned to the House, they would support it again.

There is no better proof of the quality of Oxford University than the fact that Vernon Bogdanor considers David Cameron to be the best student he ever taught.
The Liberals' average poll rating has slipped below 30% in most recent polls. They got 39.4% last time. It's going to be difficult for Trudeau to stay in office unless the surveys are completely wrong.
On current polling the Liberals still lead in Ontario and Quebec, both marginal ridings rich, even if the Conservatives lead in the national popular vote thanks to a big lead in Alberta. So Liberals win most seats but Conservatives win most votes looks possible.
With the NDP now saying they prefer a coalition with the Liberals to allowing the Conservatives to form a Government, the likeliest outcome is Trudeau stays in office propped up by the NDP and the Greens even if he loses his majority

Personally I'd prefer if there wasn't a Saturday sitting of Parliament.
Would bugger up my plans for writing my threads.
Also we are playing in the Rugby World Cup.
That's part of my plans, as is going to Old Trafford on Sunday.
The sport this weekend is mouthwatering - with the exception of the Liverpool/United game which has been awful in recent years. I hope that this time is different and you enjoy the game.

Indzeed, I remember the coverage of the independista demos in Barcelona ornamented with photos of the fortunate Mr Cameron.
Can someone summarise where we are with the deal. Been working like a dog and now in the pub.
Johnson hopes that everyone will sign up to the deal without being told what the deal is.
Of course, it’s the wisest strategy - close your eyes, sign here, think of England.
The real reason of course is that Johnson will shaft everyone: the ERG, the DUP, left behind Leavers, Remainers and those that stuck it out with May's Deal. But not all at the same time.
The DUP will be fascinating. Unionism has a history of sucessful schism. It's quite plausible for a figure to break with the party over a betrayal and forge a sucessful career out if it. I suspect that means the group of 10 MPs have a far higher internal threshold to reach common positions. There is also a small but non trivial possibility a Unionist politican seen as having sold out could be killed by paramilitaries further down the road.
While it's impossible to feel a shred of human sympathy for them and most of the Unionist community deserve the shafting they are about to get I don't envy them tonight.
Of course they were consumed by hubris backing Leave in the circumstances. But which of us hasn't been at some point since the fateful Bloomberg speech ?

The Libyans are huge fans of Cameron, as are quite a few people from Derry, including Edward Daly.
I hope Westminster looks at Spain and sees the roadmap on how not to deal with any future Scottish or Irish independence plans.

So, if we start out by assuming all those who backed MV3 continue to do so, knock off say 5 for ex-Tories, add on, what, 20 spartans, add on miracle of miracles all the DUP and maybe 2 more Labour votes, minus Sylvia Hermon perhaps, assume the 4 abstainers at MV3 go agains and you get
312 For 322 Against

A coincidence that getting rid of FPTP was abandoned once Trudeau got in to office I am sure, but convenient.
Live pictures from the centre of Barcelona with cars on fire
Jailing the separatists was plain stupid
I agree, but one can't blame the judges. They were just following the constitution which says that any action that might help to break up Spain is unacceptable and has to be severely punished.
Is there anything to the Buttigieg hype? Someone said he has good organisation in Iowa and oodles of cash, but is it working?
Per 538 podcast: He is polling higher in Iowa and New Hampshire than nationally. He has money. Biden isn't counting on winning IA or NH, so Buttigieg has the chance to max out the moderate white vote in those states, which is not insignificant. So he's no Warren but you can see how he builds momentum, especially if Biden falters and/or the establishment 'gets' Warren.
The PB ‘mood’ always assures that a deal will pass, so far it’s been wrong every single time. I’ll believe it when I see it.
I agree and think it is very much 50/50
Of course the EU may have a big role in bringing this to a head by granting a maximum extension of three months to deal, no deal, or a GE but not providing enough time to June 2020 for a referendum
The next few days will be fascinating and so will the weekend polls

Obama's endorsement also likely helps Trudeau with youth turnout
This is always the problem gain MPs on one side lose them on the other .
Those Labour MPs who want to vote for a deal need a ladder and Bozos deal kicks it away .
Any Labour MP voting for the deal without a few crumbs to justify it are toast and will be deselected. At this rate Bozo will be lucky to get at best 10 Labour MPs and that’s being generous.

A British family detained in the US after crossing the border from Canada intentionally entered the country illegally, officials have said. They said the vehicle was captured on video "slowly and deliberately" driving through a ditch to enter the US. Two adults in the vehicle had previously been denied travel authorisation to the US, Customs and Border Protection (CBP) said.
Travellers gonna travel..
The back story suggests the Brits may not have been as innocent as first impressions might suggest. They had previously applied for ESTAs but been rejected. The car was very full (eight occupants, I read somewhere). And its movements were tracked carefully by the US authorities and appear to have been pretty deliberate.
And $16,000 in cash .
A quick google of the surname is enlightening.
I get a load of businesses near here, a stack of NY lawyers, and a lot of articles about tennis.
I get hundreds of articles regurgitating the family’s statement
I guess Michael and Grace Connors are the ones to focus on
