170. In the light of the foregoing considerations, I propose that the Court of Justice should answer the question referred by the Court of Session, Inner House, First Division (Scotland) as follows: When a Member State has notified the European Council of its intention to withdraw from the European Union, Article 50 of the… -

Not sure I agree. Trump in the White house is clearly a problem for many - his approach has certainly encouraged polarisation and he now faces a very hostile press. To an extent I'm not happy when the press make themselves the story though - the question none seem willing to ask is how this man became President? There has… -
Re: GE2019 CON voters much more likely to switch to LAB than vice versa – politicalbetting.com
Thanks! Weather vanes are useful of course but they don't make the weather and are blown around in all directions. My predictive powers are zero, and make all bookmakers cheerful. Any party loyalty I once had has been demolished by a series of events beginning with Cameron's resignation following the Brexit referendum,… -
Re: Starmer is more popular than Corbyn in London – politicalbetting.com
I think the reality is that a future government is going to have to increase income taxes on the retired. Currently they only pay income tax - no NI, no employers NI. The working age population has been squeezed already & they have the largest expenses - housing, childcare & increasingly student loan repayments. It's hard… -

So British is he that he seems to hate everything about Britain. Sure he makes jam and has an allotment and is probably fun to chat to in the pub. My son has met him and had a selfie with him and said he was pleasant and polite. But so what? What he gets inspiration from - the Far Left - has caused misery to millions… -
Re: The power of Trump – politicalbetting.com
That's probably an understatement, the funding would be gargantuan if they're really doing this for security and not just prestige. For semiconductor security you don't just need the fabs, which are hugely expensive on their own, you need design houses, packaging, verification, EDA software development. And you need to… -
Re: The New Rome? – politicalbetting.com
I'm calling you out on this. There is nothing funny about inviting a convicted rapist to the White House. Imagine - go on, you're a writer, you can do it - one of the women or girls close to you, someone you care about a lot and feel protective towards, that they've been raped and that they have to see their rapist admired… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » A party fit for purpose
OK, if we have any lawyers on here willing to stick their necks out, I have a question. Not vital, but I’m puzzled by some features of it. A shall we say, hypothetical local business is putting its staff on furlough. It notified them of this last week, giving various start dates for different people. Today was the last… -
Re: Rwandan discussions – politicalbetting.com
I mean, this sense of alienation from human interaction has been the cry of working people for ages - bread and roses, bread and roses. 8 hours work, 8 hours enjoyment, 8 hours rest - the workers cried. And that was when work was still 6-7 days a week. I think it is reasonable to ask for less work considering more and more… -
Re: PB Predictions Competition 2025 – The Results – politicalbetting.com
I picked up several podcast and Youtube commentator reviews; my usual for decades has been R4 "The Correspondents Look Ahead", which I used to record on cassette to relisten before the next one. Probably the best from for me were Mallen Baker, Anne Applebaum and I think Legal Eagle. I think we will see an upswing in… -

I've just been made redundant; my payoff has got got me in the black for the first time I can remember. My landlord has sold my house and I have to move out by the end of the month. I can feed freedom fighters. I hope I can do it fearlessly. -
Re: Scrutiny not slurs – politicalbetting.com
Daily Mail: The ridicule of Boris Johnson over the Partygate scandal has extended across the East and West, with U.S. President Joe Biden's spokeswoman laughing at the Prime Minister being 'ambushed by cake' at a birthday party in No10. White House press secretary Jen Psaki on Tuesday said Biden has 'never been ambushed by… -

This is a southern issue - no shortage of affordable housing right across the north of England. A graduate earning 30k in Leeds or Manchester can afford a nice home, two graduates can get a large house with garden in which to raise a family. I spent last week at home in Lancashire visiting family, and capitalism has worked… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » On the betting markets punters move away from Brexit happening
You chose to rent it out. You didnt have to. Probably because you think you will make more money from it. Perfectly rational and fine from your point of view. However, your commercial decision is hugely subsidised by the govts QE, ownership of the banks offering buy to let loans, housing benefit and help to buy props.… -

"Research by the NHF says that while there are currently 180,000 households that are "underoccupying two-bedroom homes", there are far fewer smaller properties in the social housing sector available to move into. Last year only 85,000 one-bedroom homes became available. The federation has calculated that if all those… -

I'm back home now, which is much better I miss the morphine drip and button, but it's so much calmer and quieter here. And they have given me a bottle of Oramorph and loads of codeine, so I'm managing the pain I live across the road from my folks, so my Mum is delivering three meals a day and helping keep the house clean,… -

Re: It was the best of times, it was the worst of times – politicalbetting.com
Perhaps but when you visit someone else's house you have to accept your responsibilities as a guest. Yes, being too "close" to Washington isn't always electorally popular even if it's geopolitically and diplomatically sensible but at least now there is or could be a viable alternative in terms of a much closer political… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Real worrying thing for LAB about the Ashcroft Scottish pol
What UKIP is doing is trying to get more than a few MP's elected so it will have some say in the houses of parliament. It cannot do much more than point out how the Britain has been let down by the Lab/Lib/Con oligarchy, that has ruled the nation since 1945. Time for a change.
