Re: Starmer out of line on Brexit with GE2019 LAB voters – new poll – politicalbetting.com
But that does at least make sense, Mr Burgessian. Once they had finished their civil war, the Americans could start to settle down again as one united country. In contrast, the intention of some people is to make Scotland a separate country, with pensions paid for by what would then be a foreign country. ie the rest of us.… -

Re: The Davey-Starmer “pact” is bad news for the Tories – politicalbetting.com
It’s factually inaccurate, ludicrous, and emotive blackmail for political reasons. Strangely, I don’t think any of those are appropriate. So you’re right, I don’t like it. -
Re: Johnson’s survival over past month is bad news for Sunak – politicalbetting.com
I don't think it's a stretch at all. No.10 is where she lives. Some parts of No.10 are offices. -
Re: Starmer records “Best PM” rating high with Savanta Comres – politicalbetting.com
You know, as I was writing, I was thinking that a few Liberals had probably found their way into Government in the intervening time. I should have been more precise in my wording, so apologies. That aside, the involvement in the Coalition by the Lib Dems was to a level not seen since David Lloyd George in the 1920s. -
Re: Andrew totally dominates the front pages – politicalbetting.com
So Cyclefree, do you STILL think that Rancid Andy's lawyers are crap? Personally think that the true crap mouthpiece is . . . as per usual . . . David Boies . . . -
Re: Sunak extends his “better PM” lead over Johnson to 13% – politicalbetting.com
Second vaccine: exposing the natural immune system to the spike protein multiple times seems to incentivise the memory B-cells to ring the potential changes on the spike protein and broaden defences aainst potential variants. It also reinforces and increases protection against severe disease, and we're now seeing that the… -
Re: Johnson NOT being fined would be the worst Tory outcome – politicalbetting.com
Yes, although you love inherited wealth like a priapic viscount. One of the reasons I’m *not* a libertarian is in fact because it is agnostic towards inherited wealth and ignores the ill effects of increasing wealth inequality. -
Re: The projection on 5/5/22 that could end Johnson or save him – politicalbetting.com
I am not sure that is all that accurate. Let's take BLM. It is perfectly admirable to organise against US Police Officers indiscriminately killing predominantly black people. It is also fine for Starmer and Harri to take the knee in unity with them The bit I disagree with is demanding the white British nation apologises… -
Re: It is still odds-on that Johnson won’t last the year – politicalbetting.com
By our own admission, human understanding of the laws of physics is primitive, to say the least. We admit to not being able even to observe the majority (85%) of matter, for example. Who knows what a more complete understanding of the laws of physics might enable? -
Re: The Midlands region Johnson exceptionalism continues – politicalbetting.com
Absolutely! I don't think even the most vocal Remainers thought the EU was anything other than unwieldy and incompetent, verging in some instances on the corrupt, but the trade off we gained from being able to live and work unfettered, from the Southern tip of Sicily to the Arctic Circle and most points in between, was… -

Re: Open thread – politicalbetting.com
Yep. You can always tell the Remainers who haven't accepted we have left. Nothing less than full membership will ever satisfy them and they come up with all sorts of dumb and ill informed comments to scotch anything short of that. -
Re: The Right has the edge in South Korea – politicalbetting.com
Situation rather similar to that prevailing under the last of the Stuarts, from Charles II through Anne. Perhaps the Churchill that Boris is REALLY trying to emulate, is not Winston, but rather John, 1st Duke of Marlborough? Who first gained advancement sleeping with Charles II's (then chief) mistress, glomming onto James… -

So, great work Dom spinning things out like this instead of giving us one infodump to finish him. -

Re: The PB 18th Birthday Celebration – March 2nd – politicalbetting.com
One "maybe we CAN quickly help by throwing money at it" idea would be: - If frontline medical staff spend a significant time of their days doing administration and jumping through hoops, recruiting administration assistants to help take that burden might free up more time for the medical staff (and thus both reduce time…
