Re: The pressure mounts on Biden not to run in WH2024 – politicalbetting.com
I have not seen previous film versions or read the book. But diverting from the whole point of the book would be a fair grievance. I still got engrossed and came away thinking it a good film though. -
Re: Truss would stand a good chance of winning another member’s ballot – politicalbetting.com
They are. The mixed economy is a fungible holistic entity. All funds all, with individual net givers and net takers depending on what they do and how much they extract for doing it. -
Re: LAB moves to biggest R&W lead since Sunak became PM – politicalbetting.com
A lot of the ambulance times/accident and emergency delays crisis has lifted, which helps. That was one of the biggest chunks of the extra deaths. We'll still have covid sequelae deaths for a while, but they should (hopefully) lift a bit too, as time goes by. The risk period for elevated heart issues/stroke issues seems to… -
Re: Irrefutable proof that Liz Truss is in fact a Private Parody – politicalbetting.com
That's totally unrealistic. Corbyn never had strong support among Labour MPs, whereas Johnson retains it still among Conservatives. Starmer has control over Labour power structures, while Sunak is on probation as far as the 1922 is concerned. And Johnson never gave the strong reason that Corbyn's approach on antisemitism… -
Re: Will Sunak be able to hold his line against the strikers? – politicalbetting.com
IIRC Land sales are different to any other kind of property in this country. A sale that has been registered by the Land Registry is in principle final: No backsies. If the LR transfers ownership due to fraud, then it is possible for this to be reversed by the Chief Land Registrar, but the whole process is fraught with… -
Re: How many Prime Ministers until Christmas? – politicalbetting.com
In May 2019 the LDs got 19% and the Tories 28%, if anything there might even be some Tory gains from the LDs or at least no change given the current LD voteshare is less than half that and the Tory voteshare little changed. Though I agree Labour will make gains -
Re: A transitory blip or long term damage for the Scottish secessionist movement? – politicalbetting.com
David, she may be giving a nod to fact we need independence rather than be at the behest of England to make up its mind what we want or need. For good or bad. -
Re: The Liz Truss comeback is on – politicalbetting.com
`hanging on' for something to turn up and boost the electoral fortunes of the Conservatives makes the next 18 months a serious drag, dulls political debate and puts back even further the renewal the Party increasingly wants...to me it all feels a bit 1995-6 (major war on in Europe's East, Conservative MPs all fighting,… -

If Putin is willing to accept our terms, I don't see why not. Are you authorised to negotiate? -
Re: Sunak reminds us how and why he lost to Truss – politicalbetting.com
Well, if you want to encapsulate it like that - yes. That just about does it. -
Re: The 100 days offensive – politicalbetting.com
When you look at upkeep etc and all the other mobility factors in most of the country it is probably debatable that it is much better. TRue if you are in London. -

Re: Why LAB could struggle to get a majority – politicalbetting.com
Apologies - I omitted this paragraph: Korea's Criminal Law defines the crime of rape as sexual activity against one's will involving "violence or intimidation." As such, in order to secure a rape conviction, prosecutors must prove that the perpetrator had used or threatened violence against the victim. Sexual assault… -
Re: What REMAIN and LEAVE voters now think of Brexit – politicalbetting.com
Yes Uni Hall is still there, but there are acres of other hi rise student halls in Cardiff now. I seldom drive into Cardiff at night but I dropped my wife off at St David's Hall this evening, and I hadn't realised how the City Centre now has the look of Manhattan about it. Progress? I'm not sure That long walk past Roath… -
Re: The polling’s not looking good US Congressman Santos – politicalbetting.com
That is too sensible for Bart, the name was not chosen by chance. It was as insurance for NHS and pensions not as a TAX. Fact the governments have abused that and used it as part of hgeneral tax take rather than putting it aside for the Insurance cover does not change the fact , it was intended as Insurance. -
Re: Starmer now a 77% betting chance of being PM after the election – politicalbetting.com
If that's the case then they're very good at hiding it to youngish English blokes who marry their womenfolk. Why, only yesterday evening, my father-in-law spontaneously* - well, after a couple of whiskies - declared that I was welcome to watch cricket on the kitchen TV any time I wanted. And whenever Ireland defeat England… -

Re: New Ipsos poll sees sharp decline in Sunak’s ratings – politicalbetting.com
Evening all :) A busy day of polling and a lot to consider. Plenty of coverage of the Ipsos numbers (understandably) but the fieldwork was 18-25 January so in essence ancient history. I note a 22 point Labour lead (49-27) among those expressing a preference. On then to Deltapoll (fieldwork 26-30 January) so more recent and…
