This market from Ladbrokes is an interesting one. Priti Patel who previously was a ‘winner’ in this market when in 2017 she had to resign in disgrace when she deludedly thought she was Foreign Secretary is the favourite in this market, at 1/1 evens I’m not remotely interested at those odds.

End of day figure 81, I would look to Italy for a model of how this could develop. As I keep saying it’s not the virus itself that is the problem it is the way it sucks resource out of health services and the economics. Also there are other things happening in the world which are now don the news agenda and may be missed. This will be a great test of wether the governments across Europe are fit for purpose, the jury is out but we can only wait and see0

Buttigieg was behind in polls in every Super Tuesday state and clearly saw the writing on the wall, he needed to win New Hampshire or South Carolina to stay viable and did not so sensible move from him and puts him in contention for the VP slot for Biden or SandersCarlottaVance said:https://twitter.com/NateSilver538/status/1234255764086251521?s=20

On topic, I think Eustice will be fine (I know him quite well through my work) - he's not ploughing a lonely furrow, but simply doing what Johnson wants.
