politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » The second stage of LAB’s leadership race sees Starmer drop a touch but he’s still a very strong betting favourite
This is our first look at the Corbyn successor betting since it entered its second stage – the battle for nominations from constituency parties, and affiliated organisations a segment that includes the trade unions. This will continue for more than a month before the ballot packs go out to the party’s selectorate. Contenders have to reach a certain level of nominations to make it to the postal vote.

Edit: maybe not a sure thing after all.
Hundreds of people visiting Britain's least used railway station may have saved it from the title this year, according to the Office of Rail and Road (ORR).
Redcar British Steel station saw 360 entries and exits during 2018-19, up from just 40 the year before.

Difficult to see any of those women giving him a run for his money, isn't it?

a) no one should have to sell your home
b) Somebody has to pay for it
c) Er... that's it so far.
A joke that is not suitable for a family friendly site like PB.
Guardian.
Has visible jaw.
This makes me so angry. Really it does. The incompetence. The harm done to victims, some of the most vulnerable in our society, the cravenness, the cowardice, the hiding behind pathetic excuses, the failure to take any sort of real responsibility.
Eughhh - on so many levels.
Is there any police force anywhere in the country that is actually capable of doing their job?

It should be treated as such.

The solution that was aired during the Cameron years (nothing above £80k as the State takes care of it and a private insurance market beneath) seemed absolutely right to me, and fair.
The UK has failed to pass on the details of 75,000 convictions of foreign criminals to their home EU countries and concealed the scandal for fear of damaging Britain’s reputation in Europe’s capitals, the Guardian can reveal.
The police national computer error went undetected for five years, during which one in three alerts on offenders – potentially including murderers and rapists – were not sent to EU member states.
Authorities in EU countries were not informed of the crimes committed, the sentences given to their nationals by UK courts or the risk the convicted criminals posed to the public.
Because the details were not passed on, dangerous offenders could have travelled back to their home countries without the normal notification to local authorities of their presence.
Such is the scale of the scandal that the Home Office initially chose to conceal the embarrassing failure from EU partners.
Minutes of an ACRO criminal records meeting last May state: “There is a nervousness from Home Office around sending the historical notifications out dating back to 2012 due to the reputational impact this could have.”

Boris has said he is seeking a cross party coalition to deal with the issue and that is not possible before April and the election of the new labour leader
I understand Jess Phillips has already said she is open to a cross party solution and I expect it will be one of the first issues for the new labour leader to deal with
A few more tents in underpasses and beggars coming into/out of Waterloo. And at Stratford. And at Westminster. None at Canary Wharf. They generally all look haggered and on something.
I’d like some very objective citable facts about this (sources/links) rather than a festival of confirmation bias.

You’d at least support a team whose policies you largely agree with...
My personal view is that some kind of percentage of the estate left at death should be levied for people that have had govt paid social care. This can be positioned as not taking the house just taking a percentage of the monies left and if the percentage is low enough that the children are also getting the bulk of the inheritance.
Veganism is a choice every bit as valid as voting Tory. And slightly more logical.
Anything else can be decided by a cross party Royal Commission (personally I favour National Insurance yo pay for higher care costs but that is just my personal view)
Not that it’s just these bodies. I may have mentioned the CPS. And there are plenty of other institutions that provide a shit service because they don’t care, don’t take any pride in their work, don’t have any sense of obligation or professional honour. And we don’t care either - so we underfund and don’t expect and demand the best. Low expectations do such damage to a country.
I despair sometimes. I really do.
You can have my Montgomery when you can prise it from my cold dead hands.
First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they post fake tweets*, then you win.
*I'm pretty sure you ultra Unionist chickenhawks and computer chair warriors don't have much fight in you, hence the constant running away.
And that's especially true of a policy that affects your core voters.
The political truth about dementia - which Tory activists are too out of touch to understand - is that current policies don't particularly hurt the poorest. If you've got no assets - and in 2017, 37% of the population lived in a home they didn't own - you get your social care for free: you're not worried about losing your home if you're renting. If you're worth a few million, you can afford to pay any dementia tax anyway.
The people today's dither hits worst are averagely to slightly above averagely affluent pensioners. The people most terrified about losing their home voted Tory.
When Tory activists bleat about the unpopularity of a proper social policy, they don't mean it'd be unpopular among Tory voters. They mean it'd be unpopular among Tory activists.
They truly are the stupid party
I think the new series may inadvertently end up arguing for the very thing they are writing against. Marvel (comics) tried that with Captain America and it didn't go well for them, lots of people agreeing with red skull. This time we may see a lot of people end up agreeing with the isolationism that Picard is trying to fight against.

Even that now is in tatters across the EU.
