Re: I am now convinced Badenoch is safe in the short term at least – politicalbetting.com
An obvious tweak (there are lots of obvious tweaks and I don’t know why they’ve not been done yet, but there’s still time) would have been to put a holding period test into the rules. If the land had been in the same ownership for say 20 years before inheritance then no IHT. Actually an even simpler tweak would be not to… -

Re: NIC Reeves & The Blunder Stuff – politicalbetting.com
I think once upon a time it was only the tabloids that editorialised the news, with the broadsheets leaving the opinion to the opinion pieces. Of course you have E H Carr's principle about the narrative is about the selection and arranging of the facts, in this case stories. I think that is long gone, and the change is… -

Javid told a very funny joke about condoms.

Re: Even Rasmussen finds Americans saying Biden did a better job as President than Trump

On Mark Carney. I really don't understand the problem. He was asked questions by the committee and gave pretty straightforward answers. Nothing he said wasn't true or made up, it's the manner of the uphill argument we face in the Leave camp. Instead of lashing out at Carney we should have concentrated on what he actually… -

No Prof, I just like laughing at your selective version of reality.

Re: LDs move to a 78% chance in Tiverton and Honiton – politicalbetting.com
Exeter is a nicer city to live in than to visit, if you see what I mean. Has it got knockout attractions for the tourist? Underrated cathedral aside, and that's not exactly a full day out, no. But it's pleasant, has a decent amount going on, and is close to a lot of attractive countryside and seaside. The centre has also… -

Yes, zoning. That's what we should have in this country. If its zoned for housing, then you don't need to ask permission as its already been granted via the zoning.

Re: Rishi is clear favourite after a morning of campaign launches – politicalbetting.com
Because a proper VONC "This house has no confidence in the Government" results in a General Election now the FTPA has been annulled.
