'For residential care wealthy people already have to pay for their own care bar £23k, including their homes being liable but the home being included for personal at home care is now clearly dead' My dad had to pay £600 a month for 1.5 hours home care a day - his and my mothers house is worth about £450k but he had cash… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » DDavis drops sharply in the next CON leader betting following
Within the UK we have the power to reform our voting system or the House of Lords, we just need to elect a government that does that. In fact we have as recently as 2010 had a government that had a referendum on changing the voting system and by a margin of roughly two-to-one we chose to keep our voting system. That was… -
Re: Sunak does appear to be helping a CON recovery in the polls – politicalbetting.com
There was no RPIX debacle. The switch from RPI[X] to CPI has often been mentioned as RPI to CPI and you knew what I meant, and RPI[X] was exactly as I described. You're just being silly, because you embarrassed yourself thinking that housing costs = MIP which it does not. And no owner occupier housing costs is not a good… -
Re: Voters back restricting trial by jury (but not for themselves) – politicalbetting.com
It's hard to know how to judge the government on migration. I don't think they've even said what their objective is, except to aim for hard to define words like "controlled". Perhaps the most obvious objective for the government is that they'd want immigration to fall out of the top 3 concerns of the voters. Perhaps if the… -

@dlippman SCOOP: Acting ICE head Todd Lyons has been hospitalized at least twice for stress-related issues during the Trump admin., 4 sources told me.

Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Betting that Farage won’t do it in Thanet South is starting
Reality is not negativity, your cloud cuckoo land doesn't exist no matter how much you try to smile. Some points: *) Job security is only good whilst the jobs remain. In fact, perhaps outside banking, has it ever really been true? And a flexible jobs market means that when the company does go bust, or the mine shut, or the… -
Re: I may need to update this bar chart – politicalbetting.com
Manchester is growing because of investment. You can't cut your way to growth, you have to invest in it. This is a lesson that we seem to have forgotten collectively because business has stopped investing as well.\ Manchester had a crisis event - the IRA bomb. Which forced spending on regeneration. Richard Leese and Graham… -

@Pong Horta-Osorio, Lloyds CEO, is the strongest advocate of government support for the housing and housing finance markets in the banking industry. He is not opposed to the Help to Buy schemes but rather arguing for an extension of government support: increased building of both private sector and social housing; reduced… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » After another crazy day – the betting movements
Raab? Really? The sad truth is that Theresa has been a hard worker. Very diligent. Very focused. Working long hours. And, as a result has not spent enough time in the pub throughout her career making friends that will rally round when she needs them. And it's in the pub where a lot of politics gets done. She's beaten… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Message to Andy, Yvette and Liz: Jeremy is a man you can do
I think Jim’s and Tim's articles highlight the parallel universe which many LibDems appear to be living in at the moment, where folks seem oblivious to the fact that the LibDems having been roundly rejected by the UK electorate, seem unable to spot the irony in that the party’s main avenue to influence political events is… -

ICYMI the Speaker has gone ballistic this afternoon:- There are strong rumours that the Government are going to produce their defence investment plan on Friday.

Off topic, but interesting to many of you: "House Speaker George W. Bush?

Re: The betting chart that tells you last night’s debate was a disaster for Biden – politicalbetting.com
Oh for sure, Thatcher certainly isn't to blame for all of this, but she did start the ball rolling by selling off the council house estate to those lucky enough to be in possession and have the means to buy at heavily discounted rates. What's followed since is the commodification of housing, turning it from somewhere to… -
Re: Why we need more 80s and 90s music in our lives – politicalbetting.com
More that you are seeing a combination of catching up with a previous deficit in housing and “unwind”. Unwind has been seen a lot in parts of the UK, where new housing is immediately occupied by people who were house sharing. And despite the “efficiency” of HMOs, most people don’t want to live 8 to a 4 bed house. -

Well, quite. "Some" Greens are everything that has been suggested, and more besides. On the other hand there are plenty of Greens who used to Lib Dems, and a surprising number that used to be green welly Tories. So applying Chalk Farm metropolitan arrogance and presuming to lecture some perfectly harmless local councilors…
