Re: The Tories could be in for a tough time on May 5th – politicalbetting.com
True. So I appreciate what my Dad said as true at same time appreciate it still leaves opposition room to attack it. But wrong to attack it from right of centre populist position as too many of our lame stream printed media are these days. Proper Conservative press would have appreciated the fiscal literacy. Tbf as PM but… -
Re: Today just about everybody gets poorer – politicalbetting.com
Yeah, Corbyn got Salisbury very badly wrong, but that came from pedantry about due process and an antipathy towards the jingoism that follows such incidents. Given his response to human right abuses, it's absurd to paint him as someone who was more likely than Johnson to let Putin off the hook over Ukraine. But Salisbury… -
Re: Only hours to go till the end of month and still no CON poll lead – politicalbetting.com
Nothing humiliating about trying to save thousands of lives, even if the efforts fail. -
Re: The French election is getting very tight for Macron – politicalbetting.com
There was definitely a cover-up. It was probably a lab leak. BREAKING: my @VanityFair investigation into @EcoHealthNYC, @NIAIDNews transparency and debate over #COVID19 origins is live. Vanity Fair obtained over 100,000 internal EcoHealth Alliance documents including meeting minutes, internal emails, reports.… -
Re: Johnson’s failure to apologise for party-gate is making matters worse – politicalbetting.com
A majority of 27 is hardly an easy win and pro lifers will be back to try and ban it again -

Re: It’s almost certain now that Johnson won’t be fined by end of March – politicalbetting.com
This doesn't seem a bad approach. Effectively cutting off the gas can be blamed on the Russians who are the ones threatening to cut supply. That then gives the government room to advise on being careful about usage without seeming to lecture people. -
Re: The next election: CON winning most seats & votes but Starmer PM? – politicalbetting.com
My main concern is a safety one. Sometimes the data on speed limits is poor and out-of-date. It's not that rare for Google maps to think we're breaking the speed limit, but it has the wrong speed limit in its database (and vice versa). If the speed limit is x, but the database thinks it is y, then that's potentially quite… -
Re: New French Presidential poll has Le Pen just 6% behind – politicalbetting.com
Because it's not about 300 on the Clyde, it's about the roughly million or so attached. Kind of like how Brexit wasn't about the hundreds of fishermen, but the issue was used to leverage a much larger group. That said, my feeling is (and it is just a feeling) that the SNP are increasingly vulnerable outside their core.… -
Re: How the pandemic impacted the UK – politicalbetting.com
Imminent economic collapse was the flickering flame around which the tories huddled during the Blair years. Oft predicted but rarely happens. -
Re: A “baldie” to succeed Boris as CON leader – previous ones haven’t done well – politicalbetting.com
"Adolescent drip grows up a bit with help from his mum ... ON ANOTHER PLANET." Seems a weak proposal for a movie but they swung it somehow. -
Re: We have crossover in the “Next PM” betting – politicalbetting.com
All the past, present and future Cabinet Ministers that I can recognise reduce the number of people in real-life that I can put a name to, and might thereby have a chance of developing a relationship with. Perhaps Sunil has it right and I'd be better off memorising trains to identify, as my nerd activity of choice... -

Re: Do as I do – politicalbetting.com
I havn’t failed to clock anything. This is mid term. This is before the Tory fight back and the swing back, and the Election Day incumbency bonus, and any actual campaign. You only actually have a Tory collapse in the North (that’s not borne out in actual voting currently going on btw) when the Election Day votes are in… -
Re: The seat with a CON GE2019 72% share where Johnson can’t risk a by-election – politicalbetting.com
On the other hand, maybe in a few years' time people will get sick of using the internet for everything and go back to using analogue technology. -
Re: For the first time since December 6 – a poll without a LAB lead – politicalbetting.com
Does anyone know why dictators have such bad taste? Why not retire to a Georgian rectory, with a Belfast sink and a view over the ha-ha toward blue remembered hills? -
Re: The decline and decline of Rishi in the next PM betting – politicalbetting.com
Actually I think in older English to be was used as the auxiliary verb for intransitive verbs and especially verbs of motion (as in, I'm gone). So I'm headed equally correct. -
Re: Putting Putin’s Ukraine casualties into context – politicalbetting.com
It shouldn't be difficult to prevent soldiers getting frostbite at the end of March in Ukraine. Their equipment/clothing must be really old-fashioned. -
Re: Opinium finds 28% drop in support for government’s economic handling – politicalbetting.com
There are a couple of other bird species which do that. Hornbill, IIRC. The male feeds the female and if the male dies the female waits patiently and eventually starves. -
