Re: BoJo goes next week but what then? – politicalbetting.com
Was talking to someone today who was friends with Liz Truss in her 20s. Apparently she used to argue with everyone about everything, no matter how trivial. Just loved being controversial. That’s why they ceased to be friends. A good attribute faced with Putin, not so great in most other circumstances. -

No, party rules are party rules whether in government or opposition. Had Tory members alone had the final say Kemi Badenoch would be about to be elected PM anyway, not Truss or Sunak which was the choice MPs gave them -

Re: Barely a third think they’ll get timely treatment from the NHS – politicalbetting.com
I didn't know that, I don't pretend to be 'a serious player' - I can't imagine anything worse, and my assumption was that this was a general VAT cut, which I think IS an interesting suggestion, because I have always said that any Government provision should not necessarily be given directly to power bills, so that people… -

It can't be a Psion 5, because that wasn't released until 1997. My money is on it being the Atari Portfolio. -
Re: Could Truss be tempted by an early election? – politicalbetting.com
Is it really “whopping”? It’s dark and the wind isn’t blowing. Of course most of the energy is going to come from gas and nuclear. -
Re: Whilst CON MPs don’t decide who leads they can sack the winner – politicalbetting.com
HYUFD has not shown much form throughout the Tory leadership contest sadly. Consistently backing losers. I believe he's not really over losing Boris, and everything he posts on this issue must be seen as coloured by what essentially amounts to mild grief. -

Re: With Truss about to start LAB becomes the “most seats” favourite – politicalbetting.com
It was the copper capital of the World, hence the Luffwaffe interest. A lot of damage to what was then just a modestly sized town. -
Re: This must be the Tweet of the Day – politicalbetting.com
I disagree. A lot of the Gospel of Matthew was written well before the end of the First Century. Then of course there are the letters of St. Paul, which no one really disputes were written in the 50's and 60's. The evidence for the historicity of Jesus is a lot more contemporary than that for Alexander the Great, for… -
Re: The fight for Nadine’s seat hots up even though there’s no vacancy – politicalbetting.com
No he didn't. It was the Sanhedrin, the equivalent of the Bench of Bishops, that did that. Pilate sent him on to Herod, who sent him back. -
Re: LAB still has clear lead in the 40 “Red Wall” seats – politicalbetting.com
The solution is simple. Send them all to Sweden, and pay Stuart to talk to them. After he has explained for five minutes how awful England is and how loathsome the English are, they'll be begging to go home. -
