Re: Conservative losses: Just how low could the Tories go? – politicalbetting.com
Yes. Being a colliery site there is a local community but the facilities there are already stretched and the nearest town with decent shops is indeed about 3 miles away. There is a solar array on the site of the colliery buildings, which were cleared, but the rest was left to 'rewild'. There were rumblings about… -

Re: Trump’s legal problems set to get much worse – politicalbetting.com
Weirdly I think he really is. His brother ended badly due to drink and Donald held him in some contempt. He's never needed to pose or fit in - people fit to him, not vice versa - and has no need nor wish to use alcohol. If he were lying there's plenty of scope for photographic evidence. -

It’s the other way round! Because of the fixed charges for small businesses near a bank it isn’t worth taking card below a certain amount. -

Re: It’s always the shy types – politicalbetting.com
to defend myself: @NickPalmer , *before* the war began, you said that we shouldn't 'poke' Russia into it. That places the blame, not on Russia, but on us. You've made several other claims, including that NATO said they would not expand eastwards - which is rubbish, and another claim the Russians make. For someone who sees… -
Re: The Tory housing crisis – politicalbetting.com
I'd not heard that, but it makes sense. On a slightly brighter note, at least four species of bumblebee are back in the garden today. Though only one in abundance. -
Re: Even CON voters think that ministers should provide all the COVID-19 messages – politicalbetting.com
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opinion_polling_for_the_2023_Spanish_general_election More Spanish election polling and all show growing leads for PP compared to their previous polls before the locals. Still no sign of an absolute majority but PSOE are not close even if all the minority parties except Vox supported them -… -
Re: Has Sunak got his own lockdown secret that he’s trying to hide? – politicalbetting.com
Just a note on computers. I've actually worked on an HR migration project that involved working with HR staff, who had received compulsory redundancy notices, on automating their HR processes. And then we also trained the surviving staff on how to keep the new system working. A bit brutal really, but the idea that you… -
Re: Why This Fight? Why Now? – politicalbetting.com
One problem, which nearly everyone ignores, is that the big developers often have a *local* monopoly or duopoly. So the numbers of players in the market in a given area is often small. Which makes turning building on and off to keep prices up, possible. -

Re: This would be great for the Tories but for GE2019 CON don’t knows – politicalbetting.com
Boris has the phone. Had to change to a new one when security told him not to switch old one on again as possibly compromised. But after the cabinet offices dig at him today, Boris explained this evening he is more than happy to hand if over to the security guys too so all the what’s app can safely be recovered from that… -

Re: Ministers are not handling the COVID inquiry well – politicalbetting.com
The CPTPP is a bigger trade bloc than the EU.The EU is not a "trading bloc" it is a single market. The key perk of CPTPP is *greater* access to each other's markets, not unfettered, and a pledge to eliminate or reduce *95%* of import charges or tariffs. Not all of them. That reduces its value significantly. Furthermore we… -

Re: Ratings blow for Sunak from R&W – politicalbetting.com
UK Ambassador to Ukraine. Morning routine. I get up off the floor where I’ve been sleeping since 🇷🇺 airstrikes hit Kyiv. Come out of shelter and go here. Spend 45 mins punching the daylights out of it. Then I get on with my day. https://twitter.com/MelSimmonsFCDO/status/1663402569278930944 -
Re: Time for Starmer to be less timid about the Brexit? – politicalbetting.com
However the Gods have punished you by requiring you to indulge in sad old bloke boasting on an obscure forum full of sad old blokes. There’s always a catch.
