I’ve noted before here how over the last three-quarters of a century Oxford graduates have totally dominated British politics when it comes to leading their parties to victory in general elections. The above table sets out the alma mater of the leaders the winning parties since 1935 and the trend is extraordinary.

Bellingham [Washington] Herald - Today is the deadline to file initiatives for the fall ballot. Here are some of the measures
https://www.bellinghamherald.com/news/state/washington/article263271178.html?ac_cid=DM668866&ac_bid=405087845
Friday marks the cutoff date for the more than 100 initiatives in Washington state that have been gathering signatures to appear on the Nov. 8 ballot. Initiatives need at least 324,516 signatures from voters by 5 p.m. Friday, and the Secretary of State has recommended sponsors gather at least 405,000 signatures in case some signatures are invalid.
Although anti-tax businessman Tim Eyman withdrew three of his initiatives in March, he is still sponsoring 40 of the other initiatives on the Secretary of State’s list, mostly with variations of self-explanatory subjects such as “We don’t want any kind of income tax,” “term limits on taxes” and “no carbon tax.”
Eyman currently owes the state of Washington more than $5 million for campaign finance violations.
State Rep. Jim Walsh, R-Aberdeen, well-known for his appearances at anti-vaccine rallies throughout the pandemic, is sponsoring 40 initiatives on the list. While some of those are targeted at income tax as well, Walsh’s initiatives have a bigger range of topics than Eyman’s. For example, Initiative 1843 is an anti-Critical Race Theory proposal that would prohibit teachers in Washington from talking about “institutional, systemic, or structural racism; implicit bias; race or sex superiority; and stereotyping” to their students. . . .
SSI - whole host of other initiatives on plethora of topics with wide variety of sponsors. Most will NOT get the required signatures, will be interesting to see how many actually do make it. Maybe none.
HERE IS ONE INITIATIVE that should get plenty of support from PBers
Initiative Measure No. 1924 – Would require retailers to show the total amount, including taxes, that will be paid at the register on price tags for items. This is already standard practice in the EU.3 -

Betway seem to be complete shysters.
No way of viewing old bets older than about a year on their website (I placed my Rishi bet in Nov 2019) and absolutely no way to contact them about it. Telephone calls (number not on website) rejected, live chat is just an idiotic AI bot that doesn't put you through to anyone and their email support doesn't respond.

How did Major manage to break the trend of degree holding PMs? I've never looked into it and don't really recall much from the essay bio I read on him, but it feels like a fairly big deal given the uniformity.0

I celebrate the diversity of having open homophobes on the site.

Mike could well be right with this.
Meanwhile, given the opinion polls the last day or so I think betting on an outright Labour Gov't is worth a punt. I'm not convinced the tories will regain the red wall with Boris gone.
None of the likely candidates fill me with any fear except Penny Mordaunt and I don't think the tory party will choose her. The rest of them are mostly a rum bunch of bald, fat, or tainted men. They don't look like winners to me nor, more importantly, the electorate.
I shall sit back from afar and watch the spectacle unfold with little comment for a while. It's for the tory party to sort out.1 -

Totally normal and not a dictatorship behaviour
A Moscow councillor has been jailed for seven years for speaking out against Russia's war in Ukraine - in what is said to be the first full jail term under new laws targeting dissent.
Alexei Gorinov, 60, was arrested in April after he was filmed criticising the invasion in a city council meeting.
Under the post-invasion law, anyone who spreads "fake news" about the military faces up to 15 years in jail.
Russians are banned from using the word war to describe the invasion.

Maybe if people do not humiliate Russia and Ukraine concedes territory he can be released.0 -

I do think a small Labour majority if very likely at the next election but after making that "jump" from Lab > UKIP > Con over the past ten years or so, the Red Wall should be renamed the Violet Wall as it's now in play for both parties IMO.Heathener said:Mike could well be right with this.

While a bit embarrassing I don’t think those are dynamite. The second one won’t do him much harm with the Tory membership and the first is what a few Red Wallers thought in 2015-2017.CorrectHorseBattery said:https://twitter.com/willgeorgelloyd/status/1545460849036431367
Ben Wallace’s old tweets may come back to haunt him if he decides to run for Tory leader…1 -

Look for people who were thick little boys and whom Eton inculcated with plummy accents and apparent good manners but who, when adult, are still fairly dense and stuck in the past.kle4 said:Any Etonians to pick from?
Good to see
She posts like an eleven-year old, makes utterly facile or idiotic contributions, and routinely drops in and out to drop oblique shotgun negs about other posters like she occupies some sort of high ground and is qualified to comment.
She should stick to shoes, or the soft play, and otherwise leave this site to grown-ups.

Anyway, having watched his money no object campaign video I am once again declaring that I am Ready For Rishi.
If the Tories are serious about winning the next election, you need Rishi Sunak. A northern MP who has shown that he can parachute cash where its needed and puts levelling up front and centre. But he's also clear that we can't mortgage our kids' futures by spending daft.2 -
