Great news for those of us who like laying Gammons, Laurence Fox, Shaun Bailey, and Brian Rose – politicalbetting.com
Who you do and don't prompt for is a tricky one in election polls. The simplest answer (have the question perfectly reflect the ballot paper) we've found tends to overstate support for the also-rans and no-hopers

Could Bailey be described as a gammon? I'm of the opinion, despite the bleating of the likes of Brillo etc, that it describes a state of mind rather than a skin tone so I'll plump for yes.
However, in the real world what's happened to Paul Nuttall? He seems to vanished from public life.
I can't decide id this thread referred to in that one is serious or a complete send up ...

Is there a medium sized city with as many nouns attached as Oxford? I suggest not.
You can’t have status qou, you have to acknowledge change. People opposed super league on basis football isn’t broken, this will break it. They were wrong and foolish to think that. Mistakenly thought greed was driving it, not debt. They said things like they were not bothered by owners financial difficulties without realising the business model of their club is not viable anymore. Brexit was the same we can have what we want without consequence, which is not true, you can’t.

Oxford is the weave of the cotton, not the shirt itself.
There was an Everton fan on TalkSPORT who was embracing it, and I don’t blame him. Football could do with a big reset.

Other candidates on just 2 in the poll sample were Vanessa Hudson and Steve Kelleher of the Animal Welfare and Social Democratic Parties. I think the race for last could be quite exciting.
If the poll is anything to go by then Count Binface (8 respondents) could finish ahead of Gammons (8), Fox (9) and maybe even Rose (13). Wouldn't that be fun?

It's certainly one of those cases where the headline and the story are rather different things.
Söder was by far the most popular chancellor candidate, and had a 20 point lead over his conservative competitor in the polls. Söder, the minister-president of Bavaria, won his own state and the wider German public over with his straight-talking and decisive action during the pandemic. With the charismatic Bavarian at the helm, Merkel’s CDU/CSU would have stood a good chance of not only retaining power, but winning the election comfortably." (£)

We don’t know where this will end up, but it must be quite scary for small state Thatcherite types, because politics is going interventionist, and it’s being led that way by a Tory party that more in touch with its view from the 50s and the 20s (depending on the issue) than from the 80s and 90s.
I certainly think it’s an opportunity for Labour. Drop the “woke” crap and focus on things like “we ended homelessness overnight, let’s do that all the time”, “let’s think big on climate change” and “let’s support the unemployed better the rest of the time too”.
Both are the wrong answers to the right questions imho.
I thought it meant a button-down collar - Oxford not being known for being a centre of the textiles industry, AFAIAA.
Three people have been awarded the VC and Bar, the bar representing a second award of the VC. They are Noel Chavasse and Arthur Martin-Leake, both doctors in the Royal Army Medical Corps, for rescuing wounded under fire; and New Zealander Charles Upham, an infantryman, for combat actions.[83]

All extraordinary stories to read.
Not saying Khan won’t win, just that the other numbers might move around a bit.
The safest bet in town now is the UEFA revamp looks so very similar to this proposal, but with much less income the rest of football would have got from SL.
Meanwhile the huge threat to the PL, it’s busted business model, has not been addressed, nor unsustainable post covid debt, and football in England remains in big trouble.
Evidence for this? There has to be interest in the product. If TV deals half because of falling interest, that equates to sizeable devastation, not merely belt tightening. I guess fans of clubs feel their wealthy owners will save them? Or that the club is too big and wealthy to fail? 🤣
"HE’S THE LEADER OF BREXIT BRITAIN AND A TOWERING COLOSSUS OF A MAN: IN MY ESTIMATION HE IS SIX FOOT TWO ALL MUSCLE."
Sound familiar?
In normal circumstances (and these are not normal circumstances, but hopefully they soon will be), hundreds of thousands of people a week pay £25 a head and more to watch a game live. Millions more pay subscriptions to watch the game on television. Advertisers throw money at the game. Merchandise gives another revenue stream.
What are the costs which are making this unprofitable, apart from player wages? If player wages are all it is, pay them less.
EDIT: Bury didn't fail because of lack of support. It failed because its owner was a crook.
'In fact, the Oxford shirt is so-called because it is constructed from a fabric using a unique basket weave, originating in Scotland during the 19th century.
The story goes that a Scottish mill named four fabrics after the four famous institutions: Cambridge, Yale, Harvard and most importantly Oxford (hence the name). Polo players were the first to wear the Oxford during their matches. This could be why it is associated with a preppy and smart-casual style.'
I would suggest I have had far more involvement in football , its fans, and the clubs over the last 70 years than anything you have and to be honest I want the owners out and do not really worry about the consequences
And you are wrong about the Premier League which will continue to be lucrative for the TV companies and UEFAs champions league as is or improved will be also
Lend your vote to one of the others and then get serious with your second preference.
Same with the other mayoral elections.
Considering that you tried to deny he was a 17.5 stone obese man?
And why do you want to start this convo again? 🤔
Not only would we have the joy of seeing whether Lozza fans would transfer to UKIP in enough numbers to overhaul Binface, and how many to Khan.
But there'd be a profitable market on "next to be eliminated" over a dozen times and several days.
We could have started a rumour that he was a man from Brussels.
Considering the government then won an 80 seat majority, from starting with 42 MPs in your eyes, that's got to be the most remarkable success ever.

Everybody's got their heads bowed down.
The Sun don't shine above the ground.
Forensics tough and no eye witnesses.
Only a matter of time before it gets leaked, it's going to be possibly juicy (or not)
Edit: literally so, a hybried from the Botanic Gardens spread by the railway lines.
Of course given that I have a son going to Oxford and a wife who has had the Oxford vaccine my position as the dunce of the family (well deserved) has been confirmed.
Six feet six he stood on the ground
Weighed 235 pounds.
But I saw that giant of a man brought down to his knees by a thing called...
Passing skirt? Serial mendacity? Dodgy texting?
No. These things revive and energise him.
I wonder how reliable the modelling in the constituency vote is at those extremes.
Did you object to Major expelling Rupert Allason so vociferously?
You will learn some very interesting history along the way...
Current polling (apart from one poll showing the Greens in the lead) is almost exactly the same as it was in the months before the coronavirus crisis really hit in March 2020. I doubt that having Söder as candidate would help the CDU that much, though it probably wouldn't hurt.

Every day at the Commons you'd see him arrive
Stood five foot seven
Weighed 245
Slouched at the shoulder
And wobbly at the hip
Everybody knew that he needed a kip
Big Boz,
Big Boz,
Big Bad Boz.
Why the humiliation of the former prime minister is a fitting end to an era of politics that turned the state into a business.
