Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » A 16/1 tip to start off your Sunday morning
So in the EU we pay endless billions to get one horse in 27 - doesn't sound like a good deal to me. Especially since UK governments have been so willing to make concessions and get nothing in return. But to return to my question - why is it nobody has ever been able to tell me how many times the EU has taken a decision… -

He's commented on it on Facebook (there's more, but this is the key bit): So I hugely welcome the fact that Mr Cummings has today given a full account – it is worth reading* if you missed the press conference – and has been extensively questioned by the media about it. It clearly would have been much better if his… -

I for one will be seriously disappointed if @Sandpit has left the site. I generally find him interesting and well informed, particularly about aviation and other technical matters. Like others, I have been perplexed by his position on Trump, particularly in relation to Ukraine where he has very close interests. I think it… -

Re: Following the start of the non-concession transition some interesting Trump bets – politicalbetting.
I doubt it @contrarian, I think, if the States is going to be one party, it will be the Republicans in charge, really for several reasons: 1. Trump has, in effect, emasculated the whole Romney / McCain types in the GOP. Beyond the Trumpers, there are plenty who are unhappy with the likes of The Lincoln Project and even… -

Re: After what’s being seen as a good interview with Piers Morgan Starmer recovers a touch in the “Next
The absence of dinner parties has been one of the great disappointments of adult life.

FPT: Well, I can only say I have been much luckier than you during that period. My other question is about the impact of the EU.

More to the point, replacing Sunak with anybody else (including Johnson) won't solve the fundamental problem, which is the Conservative Party itself.

Thanks for the insight Alastair.

That is nonsense.

There has always been a…
