There’ve been big movements in the betting in the fight for the Democratic nomination with one-time favourite, Beto O’Rourke, now pulling himself out of the race and the current favourite Elizabeth Warren seeing a dramatic slide in her betting position.

Only partly lifts my dark mood as I sense a Johnson win ahead.
Didn't Cyclefree's son big him up very early on?
People would sooner join the euro than have fracking anywhere near them.
From what I heard second hand it would cost almost everyone, including employers, less than the status quo.

The only polling that is close is the Iowa ones, but there Warren is polling better. In the other early contests Buttigeig is not in the running.
Warren certainly has detailed plans and policies vulnerable to fisking, while Buttigeig specialises in vague waffle, but how long is that sustainable?
Cuadrilla has been told to pack up by Tory-led Fylde borough council. The local Tory MP for the Fylde has asked for it to be stopped. The Labour MP for Blackpool likewise.
National opinion polls are negative on fracking. I imagine a poll of Fylde residents would be very negative. People getting woken up by the house shaking kind of turns you off the industry.
Shame the crisps are crap.
Meanwhile, all Arlene Foster wants for Christmas is unionist unity.
McCoys, Doritos and Pringles are all far better of the big brands.
Labour ought to just pack bags and fly out to med for a holiday. Nothing for them here for at least 2 or 3 years even if they get leadership right next time
My first political bet - and if he gets the nomination, either as candidate for President or V-P, a very profitable one.

I have been through Ancaster, back in 2016, when I did Nottingham to Skegness.

Pure fanciful bullshit. They should be ashamed of publishing that.
I'm sure HYUFD will be along to take it as gospel in a moment.
CON: 40% (+3)
LAB: 28% (+4)
LDEM: 14% (-5)
BREX: 11% (-)

LDs on zero at this rate of decline.
Tory Swinson really is useless
36 or 42, that's a big range.
In the past the Labour vote was very efficient, I suspect that this isn't as true as before, it's looking like they could rack up 700,000 votes in Scotland for almost no return. This will be a major drag on their UK wide numbers.
Tories: Deliver Brexit. Move on as a country.
Lib Dems: Cancel Brexit. Try to move on as a country.
Labour: Two more referendums and another renegotiation for the lolz.
Brexit Party: Renegotiate all over again to get the deal that Boris’ deal actually leads to anyway.
Pretty much where we are
Having checked the 2017 results, Labour would gain 8 seats from the SNP.
Lab 1/4
LD 11/4
Big surprise could be coming in Iowa.
Actually, what does that even mean, best for brexit?
Here in Iowa, Buttigieg's campaign is ascendant..."

I will not bother taking off my hat or coat....

Comparing polls since the election to those before the lib dems are the losers so far
However, I remain very wary of subsamples - good or bad!
At the same point in the 2017 campaign , Opinium reported a 17% Tory lead with ORB putting them 11% ahead.
For different reasons. I suspect that both the Tory and Labour camps will be quite satisfied tonight . The LDs will have taken a knock.
Keep telling yourself Justin, All oppositions recover from bad polls, it’s always governments who die in the end.
Hang in till at least last weekend before polling hoping something miraculous will turn up.

Wondering perhaps if the betting markets are fighting the last war, assuming a repeat.
How are you, warm in that coat?
And do not even think on who is most trusted on brexit
In Scotland I do believe Nicola has made a big mistake because she has united the union vote sgainst her
