Re: A reminder, people with class do not talk about class – politicalbetting.com
That's my policy, and has been for a lot of years - at first unintentionally. Engineering can often mitigate, but we are a country of gormless double think where hidebound people who want dual carriageways and traffic islands everywhere throw enormous, selfish, tantrums about "Concreting Over the Countrysode" if, say, a… -
Re: A harbinger or an outlier? – politicalbetting.com
On medals, I'm interested in the -6 on cycling golds, and why the total is so low. I think the absence of Charlotte Dujardin the horse dancer, after whipping her horse abusively (24 strokes in one minute), may be significant. She has 3 golds, 1 silver and 2 bronzes from the last 3 Olympics. On the cycling, I think two… -
Re: Is the FT right about Beergate giving Starmer a boost? – politicalbetting.com
It's not just hungover Russian oligarchs with the shamans... https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/may/10/claims-of-shamans-and-curses-as-south-koreas-president-shuns-official-residence ...Yoon, who has styled himself as the “people’s president”, caused consternation when he said he had no intention of following his… -
Re: It’s Acropolis Now for Rishi Sunak – politicalbetting.com
Please don;'t gaslight me! I don't doubt that it has been used before, its just that up to this week I have not heard it used and heard Elgin marbles used hundreds of times. I suspect its arising from those who like to fight battles on behalf of others (Gays for Gaza etc), but that might just be me. Nevertheless I fully… -
Re: Punters increasingly think Trump will be the WH2024 GOP nominee – politicalbetting.com
The Democrats have been enthusiastic gerrymanderers for years. That being said, it is great that a number of States have implemented measures to limit the ability of lawmakers to set boundaries that benefit themselves. It is notable (ah hem, @MrEd) that Democratic states have been better* at putting in place independent… -
Re: Life after Starmer – politicalbetting.com
Rael was posting yesterday 'next 24 hours will be interesting' and ticking clocks. Maybe somethings about to come out, but plenty of 'talk' about dissatisfaction with Yusuf behind the scenes. Farage has been very quiet on the scandal. A short video response and a retweet of Tices article -
Re: Parties – politicalbetting.com
I know a lot of conservative young people - our entire living memory has been the tories messing up the economy, out of control immigration, even more out of control house and rental prices, tripling of uni fees, locking us away for 2 years and national service! Is it any wonder we can't wait until they're booted out? -
Re: Something for Labour to ponder – politicalbetting.com
As for all the other things he whinges on about, well, his lot had 14 years in charge - what did they do about any of it? Nothing - instead, they wasted time, effort and money on the European Union. It's quite the brass neck for a man who signed off a Planning Application one day before the deadline by unlawfully abusing… -
Re: This must be the Tweet of the Day – politicalbetting.com
While it's of no consequence to the matter in hand, this evening in my house has promted two laments: 1) During a family pile-on before bedtime, my television watching glasses managed to lose a lens and an arm. No telly for me for a few days. No telly in focus, anyway. 2) My ipod docking station has started missing a… -
Re: Tonight’s polls in sharp contrast to YouGov’s 10% CON lead – politicalbetting.com
@Theuniondivvie I have been buying art since my late 20's. I have quite a collection - mostly painting but some sculpture as well. One of the joys of moving to the Lakes is that I have space to hang some of my bigger paintings. I've inherited quite a bit as well. And I did buy my last painting last year in June.… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » PB/Polling Matters podcast on Brexit, Article 50 polling, Scot
Just catching up with PB after a days away, and I have just read Mike's article 'I’d feel a lot more comfortable about the Brexit negotiations if Osborne was playing a key role' @MikeSmithson, agreed. Theresa May's first major mistake in the early days of her Premiership was to sack George Osborne in such a harsh and… -
Re: The front pages are pretty bad for Hancock – politicalbetting.com
If you'd been driving along the A10 past Melbourn at five this morning, you'd have see a shirtless me running north. Although it would not have been a sight to engender optimism. Nausea, possibly ... Cambridge has been really weird during lockdown. I've mostly been visiting during the early hours, and at times it's felt… -
Re: A popular populist? Trump’s chances in the popular vote – politicalbetting.com
FPT, but on-topic for this one. Want to know why people are voting for Trump? Abbott has been getting support from quite a few state governors in the past few hours. Dare I say it, but @Leon was right about immigration being the issue top of the table. Abbott’s statement is, umm, aggressive in his assertion of his right to… -
Re: For years Trump’s favourite term of abuse was “loser” – now he’s in danger of owning the brand – pol
That wasn't "media-grabbing radicalism" - I assume that is just a write up in a Lib Dem in-house mag. "Lib Dem Youth & Students hold banner" has never been news, and wouldn't have been covered in the press. I agree on the need to be more attention-grabbing - but this just isn't a relevant example. -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » The dark cloud on Labour’s horizon: total wipeout
O/T. I don't know if this has been discussed already but the reports on Sky and the BBC seem a little worrying. Some news agencies have been excluded from a press briefing at the White House. Is this correct? If so, is it as black and white as that? If it is as reported then it appears as if the Trump administration is… -

Re: Liz Truss now edges above Sunak in latest CONHome members’ survey – politicalbetting.com
The loudest thunder I have ever heard. I can well understand why people thought it was more than just thunder It was directly overhead and terrifyingly loud Made more terrifying from the fact that my wife has on two different occasions been in houses that have been struck by lightning.
