    Anyway, just collected my winnings on a December election from Betfair.

    Only partly lifts my dark mood as I sense a Johnson win ahead.

    For the record, I am sceptical of the economics of fracking in the UK. But that is not a matter for central government regulation. Wealthy ecologists in North London shouldn't be deciding whether fracking is right for Blackpool - that should be a matter for the locals.

    This is yet another area where, Brexit aside, I'm finding myself with very little reason to vote Conservative.

    But it is nothing to do with "wealthy ecologists in North London" deciding it. It is because each time the Govt. has allowed fracking to start up again, the eathquakes have resumed. There seems to be an undeniable causal link.

    Of course there's a causal link. But shouldn't the people of Blackpool get to decide how serious a really, really small earthquake is?

    Have you headed up north recently ?
    People would sooner join the euro than have fracking anywhere near them.

    He was first recommended by James Naughtie on late night radio many months ago. He used to work in the US and he said he'd heard from friends that Buttigleg was the hot prospect.

    What is the unpopular part of Warren's plan?

    From what I heard second hand it would cost almost everyone, including employers, less than the status quo.

    Mayor Pete polling in the last 3 national polls at 2%, 4% and 8%, with Warren at 3 times that score:

    https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2020-primaries/democratic/national/

    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?

    Fracking was rejected by Labour-led Lancashire county council. Javid overruled that.

    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.

    Bland boring crap - and unless they've changed it with everyone going on about packaging waste, a bag of air most of the time.

    McCoys, Doritos and Pringles are all far better of the big brands.

    Yes, he did. And I got on him at about 50-1 from memory.

    My first political bet - and if he gets the nomination, either as candidate for President or V-P, a very profitable one.

    A bit complicated really. Went from Kings Cross to Newark where we were de-trained due to a faulty windscreen wiper of all things! Determined to get to Retford in time for the Gainsborough/Brigg/Barnetby train, I felt I had no choice but to get a cab! Then went from Retford via the Saturday-only train through Brigg. Took that all the way to Cleethorpes. By that time, the main line through Retford and Newark was closed for scheduled engineering, so decided to go to Doncaster, where I picked up the Azuma train which, due to its "bi-mode" diesel engines, was able to head back to London via Lincoln, avoiding Sleaford, rejoining the main line at Peterborough.

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

    BXP seem to be taking 2017 Labour voters more than Tory ones, of course efficiency of voter distribution will be key.

    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.

    I suspect the "Get Brexit Done" message is working for Boris. People want it to be over and a Conservative majority government is the quickest way to do it.

    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?

    Deltapoll

    Net approval

    Boris +-2
    Corbyn -43

    Best for NHS

    Boris 40%
    Corbyn 34%

    Best for Brexit

    Boris 51%
    Corbyn 26%

    So is that up on the -60 he had earlier, or is it a different company?
    I think that number is from the latest Ipsos Mori poll, so probably not best to compare it directly to the the number from the Delta poll.
