Re: Please exercise caution with this Find Out Now poll – politicalbetting.com
Starmer making his visit to China all about the "cost of living" in the UK shows him to be deeply unserious about geopolitics -
Re: Farage, not Starmer, is the anti-Midas – politicalbetting.com
I appreciate that, but I am basing this perspective on the available evidence. Anyone telling a pollster they're voting Reform is pissed off and has crossed a rubicond. There's been nothing to tempt anyone like that back to Labour. If we believe the current polling, it seems a likelier explanation that Reform's current… -
Re: Another boost for Kemi Badenoch – politicalbetting.com
That's the crux of it. Hermer is probably the most activist AG in modern political history. Starmer has given him too much power to push his very narrow worldview into all parts of government Starmer won't sack him. But he must to reset his government -
Re: Labour Leadership – The Betting Value’s With Rayner and Miliband – politicalbetting.com
Gavin Williamson strikes me as a quite a scary individual - see his would-be Reform oponent at the last election suddenly deciding not to stand. If he goes over it definitely means something. Not sure what. -
Re: Kemi Badenoch is determined to bring the nasty party label back– politicalbetting.com
Service charges can only be levied for services and maintenance, the freeholder can't profit from them. There's a huge amount of ignorance on this topic from people who think someone else will pay to maintain the building their flat is in. -
Re: The big winners from the weekend’s Labour contretemps – politicalbetting.com
If we are allowing ourselves to be dragged into Leon's faux-nostalgia for PB past times (a lament which is as predictable as it is tedious)... ...my ideal would be a forum which tolerates neither pile-ons nor snowflakes. But given we are not in an ideal world, speaking for myself I'd prefer to be piled-on if I had lost my… -

It was on Facebook some contributor called The Lamented. Never heard of it. I am.not sure if true or false.. -
Re: The Gorton & Denton might become the most (in)famous by-election in history – politicalbetting.com
I had been wondering why the by-election had not been put up by Betfair. Well it has! It has been included under local elections! The market has it as a wide open three horse race. I suppose that's correct. Though it wasn't for their love of Trump, I think Reform would have been odds on. -

Re: First Canada, then Australia, now Denmark? – politicalbetting.com
To me he has a very narrow base, a strange split between his religion and his politics, and a laziness in finding out about the topics of his commentary. The rest of that video is about the 'slavery reparations' issue, where he evaluated it as "paying reparations to individuals" (which is an untrue characterisation). He… -

Re: Time for a massive reverse ferret? – politicalbetting.com
I know we are not allowed to criticise a BPC pollster although TSE has said we can question the methodology, and FoN's inclusion of never voted respondents is a little bit odd. Oh and TSE also reminded us just before Christmas that it is not problematic to remember that Matt Goodwin does not have the very best track record… -
Re: And breathe – politicalbetting.com
I'm not going to go this far (yet) but I do think a genuine societal conversation on what the appropriate age to give children smartphones is worth having. Social norms can govern behaviour through peer pressure as much peer pressure. My argument for the norm being much older than present is that smartphones are full of… -
Re: We need to go back to having a Prime Minister born in Canada – politicalbetting.com
Remember my asking why markets were rising, yesterday, before this came out? The responses I got weren’t very convincing. Now we have our answer. I expect some insiders made yet more money yesterday. -

Re: PB Predictions Competition 2026 – politicalbetting.com
AI will not feed a child, mop a tear from an eye, nurse the sick, bury the dead, tend a baby, run a nursery, teach a child to climb a tree, repair a window, lack brick upon brick, wipe a bottom, build a house. The dehumanised techbros of the tech elite have forgotten everything about people except how to exploit or destroy…
