Re: Crime & Constraints – politicalbetting.com
Anyone who's served as a juror recently will attest to that, acquaintances who've done jury service recently have barely been used, if at all. My recent experience is that the inefficiency is with the court processes, all trooped in then trooped out again because they'd forgotten the witness wanted a screen, see you again… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » News Scotland only poll has the Tories losing most of the gain
The current PM hasnt had the confidence of the house for several weeks, it just hasnt been expressed, yet he has not resigned. An honourable PM would have done so. -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Roger on a step change in negative political advertising
Cameron is PM, Corbyn is leader of the party she represented, Bercow is Speaker of the House. Having Stuart or Hoey there would have been politicisation. This has absolutely nothing to do with the referendum. -

Re: Majority of Brits support the ‘Rule of Six’ but few are ready to be “snitchers” – politicalbetting.c
Unlikely. Its only 24 hours since the news was announced and the news has been broadcast all over the news so maybe they will have heard that? Or seen the press release. Otherwise if it is civil servants updating the web pages maybe it takes them more than 24 hours to get around to updating it, since they've only just… -
Re: Whoever wins it is going to be difficult for CON to stay in power – politicalbetting.com
So someone I know has got Colorectal cancer and because he has money pays for Avastin privately (last I heard he was doing well but this reminds me to go and check). For a short time it was available on the NHS but being under patent it was eventually deemed uneconomic. Now it's no longer under patent (and the price has… -
Re: The Chancellor’s controversial letter to Chesham and Amersham voters – politicalbetting.com
I'd be concerned about inflationary pressures if capacity constraints continue. Daughter is being careful about the timing of her bookings to ensure that the chef can cope, no-one has to wait too long and staff don't collapse with exhaustion. She also tries to prioritise her regulars because they will still be here after… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » In many ways Andrea Leadsom looks like Britain’s Sarah Pali
Afternoon all :) Scarcely a ringing endorsement for Theresa May - she got Crabb's supporters as might have been expected but Fox's supporters have gone to Leadsom along with a couple of switchers from Team Gove. Despite a brutal 48 hours for her, Leadsom has held the line reasonably well. She has been a victim of the kind… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Boris Johnson the David Miliband de nos jours?
Where else would I mean? There's only one foreign country that has military bases here. If someone referred to the foreign bases that were in Poland, would you say "I assume you mean the Soviet bases"? I was attacking your premise. So I'm not going to answer a question that implies it. Goodness knows what you mean by "the… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » How people would feel if the government cancelled Brexit & Bri
When the Tories get big majorities they become unbearably arrogant. May had a majority. She should have worked with what she had. She became hubristic on the back of polls. Voters were right not to trust her with untrammelled power. I suspect that had this deal been brought forward by a leader who was more inclined to… -

Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Marf on this final day
All the anecdotal stuff of people I have spoken to this past few days has been going right - LibDems to Tory, UKIP to Tory, LibDem to Labour. Throughout, found not one Tory to LibDem. For the first time in recent history, Torbay Tories have beaten the LibDems in the leaflet war - and by a large margin. We are about to find… -
Re: Biden’s heads towards getting negative ratings from the majority of Americans – politicalbetting.com
Hello Ed! Agree with every word. With caveat that Biden can already claim some achievements with more in the pipeline, though it's still open question how meaningful (or positive) they will be judged by voters next year. Speaking of 2022, the Washington State Redistricting Commission has just released and posted four… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » The harsh facts that the leadership contenders need to face
If Brexit happens we will still have to endure 18 months of Remoaner moaning, that is what happens after major event, cf selling council houses, selling BT. After 18 months it becomes obvious that the change has not been bad and the figures start coming in to prove the moaners wrong. Then, if it is a success we will see… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Alex Salmond tells the Commons about this morning’s PB Osbo
I have been stuck in court all day and am somewhat bemused at the headlines. The WTC cuts cancelled or at least postponed to 2018? I really did not see that coming. And a lot more money for housing and some more money for the police (actually quite a small amount)? I am bemused that he thinks he has this amount to play… -
Re: The focus moves to ex-Tory leader and former A-G – politicalbetting.com
They are. That's not a blink. It's just a routine update of the House. The timescale for talks has already been set until the end of the month most likely. There's not a chance of A16 being invoked before COP26 is closed. -
Re: May 17th – the day we have been waiting so long for – politicalbetting.com
Certainly a case for saying if you have been offered the jab and declined for a non-health related reason, then you have elected to step outside the national health system, ie a system aimed at protecting the nation's health. If you get Covid, you go private. If that means your private healthcare provider declines cover,… -
Re: Suella the martyr (ruder nouns are available) – politicalbetting.com
In big debates he wont get called that often, there are 30 MPs that will be called before him. In small debates he will be speaking to an empty chamber. It will not be like the EP at all. Meanwhile, he will not have quite the same MSM profile, because the Lib Dems can hurt the BBC et al, if they continue to try to ignore… -
