Re: Could a Brexit deal be the making of Sunak? – politicalbetting.com
https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/feb/25/you-can-blame-the-weather-and-brexit-but-theres-more-to-the-uks-food-supply-crisis "The problem is that growing salad vegetables in the UK has been made economically unviable, both by those shortsighted supermarkets and in large part by Brexit.

Re: The challenge facing Sunak – politicalbetting.com
Currently uncertain. I've been impressed by Starmer talking about the housing situation and am waiting to see if he has any follow-through on policies on that, but not holding my breath. If he does, he'll win my vote for his party for only the second time. My babies are turning ten and eight this year, so guessing you're… -
Re: Mordaunt second favourite to succeed Sunak as CON leader – politicalbetting.com
Production is still very small by world standards (much less than 1% of sparkling wine made worldwide), with plenty of demand domestically, so it's not surprising that it's not often seen outside the UK. But the investment by prestigious champagne houses shows that it has certainly been noticed. -

It belongs to the Crown as in the country, of which the Monarch is head. It is not the personal property of the Monarch. If we were to become a republic Crown lands would remain belonging with the nation not the house of Windsor since its not personal property and never has been. -
Re: Nicola Sturgeon to quit – politicalbetting.com
I think 'hate' overstates it. I don't like her, certainly. And I found her tone during covid petty and spiteful. I am of course more concerned with politicians who have a more direct impact on me. But I think tge UK government are doing a considerably less terrible job of running the UK than the Scottish government has… -

A reminder that claims ICE are "enforcing the laws" are extremely dubious.

Re: Farewell to a true working class legend – politicalbetting.com
Politically JP has some achievements, but to my eye had a strange love of bling/status and somewhat ridiculous acquired involvement with croquet which hit the media and may have been exaggerated. Plus the whole episode around sex with his diary secretary, which would now have him up for dismissal regardless of appeasing… -

That is also the House style of the British Civil Service. And probably has been for at least the last 90 years. It can be overcome, but it requires will and strong political leadership, which May does not have. -
Re: Hoist with his own petard – politicalbetting.com
If immigration were spread evenly across the country, it would be less of an issue. But it isn't. It is still uncommon to see a non-white person in the SW outside Bristol and to a lesser extent Exeter, where non-white faces are often students rather than family groups. It's further from London, very limited rented… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Another day and another set of front pages featuring the belea
I've watched hours of coverage and it has almost all been about Williamson. Even when the Welsh reversed it was discussed in concert with what does this mean for England - before it was later revealed the Welsh only reversed because the English did. Without Googling it can you even name Williamson's Welsh counterpart? The… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » PB Nighthawks is now open
Whenever I start to despair about Ed M (this EU referendum mess has certainly not been his finest hour), David Miliband helpfully pops up to remind us how things could've been even worse. This Newsnight interview now -- never has someone said so many words yet said so little of substance. -

In fairness the whole forward guidance thing has not been Carney's finest hour. Even this morning he was a bit all over the place on it but much, much better on the big picture stuff.
