Re: PB Predictions Competition 2025 – politicalbetting.com
As the newspaper adage goes, "who the hell reads the second paragraph?" A Federal Emergency Management Agency (Fema) supervisor has been fired for telling staff helping hurricane survivors to skip houses displaying signs supporting Donald Trump. The agency's head, Deanne Criswell, described the supervisor's actions as… -
Re: Michael Gove is right – politicalbetting.com
Strange as it may seem, the rate of growth in house prices has significantly moderated since 2007. The government has effectively killed off the buy to let market, which contributed to that. I can't help thinking that interest rates ought to have been raised from near zero a long time ago. -

One thing that has stuck me. He is always so quick to lash out, find somebody to blame and the turn over of staff in the White House has been unprecedented. I wonder what the staff retention is like in his businesses? -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » David Herdson on Saturday: We might have passed peak UKIP?
No, but it means that it's something you will see fairly often. Especially (as has been pointed out) if you are a Labour MP who has no doubt spent much of your political career doorknocking on housing estates. Not a remarkable sight that appears to demand a tweet. -

I would also like to point out that Ched Evans has not condemned the people who outed his victim or the fact his victim has been forced to move house six times because of threats made against her. -
Re: Number 10 must be hoping that this is an outlier – politicalbetting.com
The Paterson vote must be one of the most stupid own goals we've seen in some time. The 'Tory sleaze' horse has now well and truly bolted and will continue to run. The current flurry of stories will have to slow down at some point, but the idea has been planted and so every subsequent story (outcome of independent enquiry,… -
Re: Betting against the GOP looks to be the value bet in Georgia – politicalbetting.com
The frequency of themis the surprising thing more than it being an issue of individuals, it seems unusual that so many people could remain at the top of politics in a democratic society for so long. Ken Clarke was very unusual in being an MP for 49 years, and while that length would still be unusual in america, it'd be… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Some assorted Presidential election betting markets
@Foxy was indeed suggesting recently that quite a lot of white as well as Asian families at the epicentre of the Leicester outbreak were being affected, and that this might be down to large-ish families crammed into old fashioned terraces of little two up, two down houses. It's therefore entirely possible that, whilst it… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Tim Farron – The Lib Dem leader at the General Election?
It would be great if the housebuilding part of construction was going so well in every part of the country by early next year that this help was not required. I just fear that your natural sunny optimism is getting ahead of you a little here. You could point to the PMIs for construction which have reported that… -

You have written exactly what the Er'el is whispering in my right ear. I miss the libertarian slant of the earlier UKIP. A true Don't Tread On Me small government party would get my enthusiastic vote. But UKIP backtracked and decided to take the easy route by counting our spare bedrooms again. Everything about them which I… -
Re: Of talking dogs and politicians – politicalbetting.com
The weekly Rawnsley: The assault on Capitol Hill was the savage consummation of a presidency founded, fuelled and feeding on division; a presidency that has stamped on democratic norms, fomented lunatic conspiracy theories and made lies the chief currency of its public discourse since the very beginning. Liz Cheney, the… -

TWO of the Liberal Democrats’ biggest donors are being lined up for peerages, plunging Nick Clegg into a “cash for honours” controversy. Rumi Verjee, a multimillionaire who brought the Domino’s pizza chain to Britain, is top of a list of seven names compiled by the Lib Dems who are expected to be awarded honours within… -
Re: Vox populi, vox Dei – politicalbetting.com
Is BRACE the appropriate response? @JenniferJJacobs NEW: Trump has been briefed on both the risks and the benefits of bombing Fordo, Iran's most heavily secured nuclear facility, and his mindset is that disabling it is necessary because of the risk of weapons being produced in a relatively short period of time, sources… -

Time to deploy the army and keep people locked in their houses. Internment for all skiers or anyone who has been on a skiing holiday in the last twenty years and anyone who has a skiing holiday booked. These skiers will be interned in Stoke, it is the only way they will learn. -
Re: The warning signs are there for the GOP for November’s election – politicalbetting.com
It hasn't though. Its done well on a number of things - job creation especially - and Biden has been right to place more emphasis on wealth creation. But it still has other problems - debt, inequality, housing unaffordability in many areas. As for the media, this is from CNBC only three weeks ago: Why getting a job feels… -

The points made -- if I understand them right -- mean that no vote can be properly legitimate.

Well I never.

Hogan Lovells, a top City law firm, has been brought in to advise the Government on everything… -

Years ago I found myself vomiting uncontrollably in the middle of the night. When it went on for a couple of hours I called out an out of hours GP who came round and injected me in the butt with something that stopped the vomiting. These days I would probably just go to A&E as I wouldnt have any confidence that if I called…
