If that was an attempt a humour I don't think MM should give up the day job. No wonder we don't see many right wing stand-ups. -
Re: And the betting barely moves – politicalbetting.com
I think poor people eat cheaply. Knowing how to cook just makes what they eat a bit better. It's the lack of resilience that does for you. Money buys you resilience. You can afford to be ill for a couple of days, deal with an unplanned event or additional expense, have proper childcare. -
Re: The 2023 Budget – open thread – politicalbetting.com
Rubbish, people don't want President Johnson or President Blair. William and Kate are also popular across the generations and Charles is popular enough with his generation and the middle aged for as long as he reigns -

Re: Stodge and MoonRabbit’s Cheltenham Preview – politicalbetting.com
On the positive side, there’s good chess communities on the various social media, and a lot of GMs who have good social media profiles. The world champion can turn up drunk on Twitch or Youtube, and play a bunch of one-minute games against allcomers. There might not be as much local community over-the-board chess in the… -

Re: Is it Scötterdämmerung for the SNP? – politicalbetting.com
Too late. The reckoning goes much further than mere inflation. All that QE printed money was not free, it was inflationary, the problems merely deferred for a rainy day. And the inflationary QE money was invested in stocks. The stock markets became inflated. Although different asset classes are affected differently by it,… -
Re: Hopefully, we’ll see some Lineker polling this weekend – politicalbetting.com
The issue is not whether he is entitled to voice his opinions. The issue is whether it is acceptable to invoke the Nazis in support of them by suggesting the government is heading that way. Some people think it's a step too far and could be construed as bringing the BBC into disrepute. Other people can't see what the… -
Re: A hollow victory for the hollow crown? – politicalbetting.com
Much the same as us paying for the French enforcement, just further upstream. If "stopping the boats" is the objective here, isn't it as much or more an issue in the Med? Preventing refugees/migrants from the next step in their journey carries as its baggage keeping these people in a failed state of some sort. If we think… -

Re: Can the LDs become the 3rd party once again? – politicalbetting.com
In general I am suspicious of this argument. It seems to suggest that you're not confident in the ability of the rights to stand on their merits, or not sufficiently confident that you could win the arguments regarding them in one of the most free and democratically open democracies on the planet. -
Re: The support for Gary Lineker should worry ministers – politicalbetting.com
Kate Forbes burnt her bridges with the current leadership and their elected supporters the minute she announced she was standing in the leadership contest, and they had their attack lines ready in the hope of holing her campaign below the waterline before the nominations even closed. And so while her tactics at the STV… -
Re: New poll has LAB on course to win ALL 40 red wall Tory seats – politicalbetting.com
The EU has in my view many serious defects, not least of which is the deficiencies in its democracy, but it stands, still, if slightly battered by recent events in Poland etc, as a bastion of the rule of law, free internal trade, mutual support and a good standard of living. The difference between the performance of the… -
