Re: The War at Home: Labour Defences (Part Two) – politicalbetting.com
On topic: Islington North Update Rather more activity on the ground this week, with the Corbyn campaign in particular taking off after a slow start. They held a number of mini-rallies over the weekend - I walked past one at Archway on Saturday afternoon, where there were maybe 20-25 people listening to him speak, with as… -

It could be that Osborne is as complacent as you suggest. If so, in a funny way Labour has actually been pretty successful. Yesterday's announcement does indicate that he believes he is master of all that he surveys. However, if you say that £25 billion of extra savings are needed, you have to explain where the cuts are… -
Re: The new boundaries make Cooper’s seat much safer – politicalbetting.com
Yes, you're quite right. The crumbling of the red wall didn't happen overnight, it has been happening for my whole adult life. It's been pretty much coincident with the end of the mining industry and the arrival of modern private houses across the red wall. The Blyth of today, for example, is very different to the Blyth of… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » The Pale Horse. Politics in the shadow of Covid-19
A spotlight shone on an aspect of Singapore that doesn't get much exposure: Singapore, which has been praised for controlling the virus, sees a record increase in new infections. Singapore announced a record jump in coronavirus cases on Wednesday evening, with most of the 447 new confirmed cases coming from crowded… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Bernie heading for big Nevada victory and is going to be hard
There have been rumours for some time that Nicola was looking for an international exit but not finding one. The SNP are split between those that want a referendum right now and those who want to do things properly with Westminster consent. The latter also recognise that right now might not be the best time and want a… -
Re: Trying to explain what’s been happening in Brussels – politicalbetting.com
Let us consider what has happened just in the space of the last 24 hours. *The European Commission has drawn up a vaccine export control mechanism that specifically exempts almost the whole of Europe from its terms, as well as a lengthy list of non-European states including Syria and Libya. But not the UK. Apparently no… -

Boris Johnson today on why he decided to keep the Russia report under wraps: "Well I can repeat what I’ve already said about this, many times, which is that, I know of no evidence of any successful interference by Russia in any democratic event in this country and on the report, we (are) obviously just complying with the… -

Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » The genius of George Osborne: His government’s failure on t
Hardly - even the Speccie thinks the Beeb was right to flag it up. What's more strange (or sadly predictable) is that the implications of Osborne's spending plans haven't been properly considered until now. Osborne's point that 'Oh you said that about the 2010 cuts' is pretty spurious. Those cut public spending from a… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Tonight from Marf
On no. 1 I tend to agree that making a generalised statement like that when you don't vote may be unwise. Though since Pessina has a company here which employs a large number of employees, he is entitled to comment on how a party's proposals might affect that company and those who work there. No 2 has nothing to do with… -

Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Support growing for another EURef in an unlikely publication –
The most bizarre thing about Brexit at the moment is that most commentators, politicians and even esteemed PB posters seem to have all decided that the government has completely screwed up just at the point where what has actually happened is that, for the first time since the referendum, we seem to be close to making some… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » NEW PB / Polling Matters podcast. Where do we go from here and
It's a fucking terrible deal. It's just all the focus has been on stopping No Deal Brexit, and apparently that's still being fought despite legislation passing both houses. It's the abuser's method. Threaten to kill someone then they'll be happy when you simply punch them in the face. The Brexit taliban have been playing… -

Re: Could Nikki Haley be the GOP figure to beat Trump? – politicalbetting.com
Haley is a very astute politician - especially when it comes to calculating charting her next move. There are few individuals who can recognise shift in a political landscape and shift themselves - and others - so adroitly. For 150 years, South Carolina was dominated by the Democratic Party. Yet by the late ‘60s it was…
