Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » If there is a second referendum Remain should demand that all
Italy's economic performance since the crash has been truly abysmal. Even now their economy is more than 5% smaller than it was in 2008. They have gone from having an economy broadly on a par with the UK and France to one nearly 20% smaller. Unemployment has been rife and many young Italians have voted with their feet and… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » The great polling divide: CON wins on big broad themes but
Labour has to work out its stance on the economy. To my mind it beggars belief that Osborne is getting away with what he is, but the opposition simply hasn't been good enough. Why aren't Labour pointing out that despite Osborne's fatuous claims that deficit reduction would be the rock on which recovery would be based,… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Something to scare those who’ve been betting heavily on UKI
Reading the comments concerning the SNP winning 37 to 50 odd seats is interesting and mildly amusing. The view in Scotland is rather different. The wheels are coming off the SNP bandwagon slowly but surely. Police Scotland's head honcho, Sir Stephen House has been caught out telling inaccuracies to Hollyrood committees,… -

The polls are levelish yet the odds with Corals are 2/9 and 3/1. Its like a two horse race when both horses are fully exposed and have the same form yet the bookies massively favour one horse. If the bookies are not privy to some other information then the 3/1 on Leave is the best value on Politcial or any other betting… -

Wiki- The Parliamentary Secretary to the Treasury is a senior ministerial position in the British Government. However, the office is now attached to the Treasury in name only; the holder is typically also the Chief Whip of the House of Commons. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parliamentary_Secretary_to_the_Treasury Press… -

She was a very active poster here for some time. She was then and still is an MP but she never identified herself here by her real name so her anonymity should be respected. Ex MP Louise Mensch always posted under her real name, as does Nick Palmer of course. Aaron Bell originally posted under his own name, but changed it… -

Comments from Old Trafford. "Arrived Old Trafford 09:45. Still way back in huge queue moving slower than a snail's pace. Have paid over £100 for ticket. Several breweries in and around Stretford and Salford nearby. Hopefully whoever has orchestrated this hasn't also organised drinks there later." "The organisation at Old… -

The Rev was that wanker in Sep 2013, though I'm sure he'd happily admit to subsequent wankerdom. His twitter bio does quote the description 'necessary wanker' after all. A more recent post on Athousandflowers might give some of those over-sensitive types getting aerated about the use of the word 'loyalist' pause for… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Betting on the Dutch election
Something important happened yesterday. Nicola Sturgeon resigned as First Minister of Scotland to focus on her main job as head of the SNP campaign to break up Britain. When she replaced Alex Salmond in 2014, she was greeted with warm hearts and open minds by even committed Unionists. Opponents gave her the benefit of the… -

More mixed signals from the Biden administration. According to the defence secretary, Lloyd Austin, just now : "We still don't know what the three objects shot are. No debris has been recovered." They clearly still have no clue either way, but the White House staff have been told to be reassuring. -

Re: Another Boris Johnson failure, Brexit isn’t done – politicalbetting.com
Add that the headline inflation rate has been understated for the vast majority of people, who have seen basics such as food and utilities rise well above the headline inflation rate, at a time when increased interest rates are also making housing costs much higher than recently. There’s a lot of people earning up to 50%… -
Re: Classification – politicalbetting.com
Alas, your conclusion walks directly into the extremist agenda: to colonize the centre and other concepts like freedom, democracy and justice in the name of hate. I can't think of a more successful rebranding in modern history than that of fascism. It has been able to shed goosestepping, leather straps, and Rudolph Hess'… -

Few will see the inheritance tax cut but pretty much everyone will feel the council tax increase.

Syria: Grand old Duke of Washington? The White House has reportedly hesitated.

@LuckyGuy Counterfactual June 23, 2016. Close to midnight it becomes clear that the UK has voted Yes 52-48 to enter the European superstate, the United States of Europe.

Re: In other news – politicalbetting.com
Agreed totally re: these "lockdowns". The UK Government has chosen to massively advance the levels of restrictions on businesses in particular, at devastating cost to those businesses themselves and the wider economy, all the more so by switching from a localised to a nationwide policy - but has left holes so wide in the…
