I agree about Grand Budapest Hotel, and likewise with Richard Tyndall on this: it's a brilliant performance from Ralph Fiennes. He has been in storming form lately. The performance as Voldemort in the final HP was breathtaking. He does a damned good cameo as Gareth Mallory in Skyfall. But it's wonderful to see him turning… -
Re: The Oxford/AZ vaccine gets approved – now ministers needs to ensure that it gets out quickly and in
I agree that priority should be given to NHS staff. In fact, anyone who has any contact with NHS premises. Our response has always been about ensuring a fully functioning NHS. "Fully" has already been degraded by the loss of so much elective surgery. Having 50% of staff down is disastrous for even the remaining Covid… -
Re: The betting moves sharply to the Tories in Batley and Spen – politicalbetting.com
I'm a Civil Servant and our policy has always been to prefer train travel. For long journeys I prefer it - more relaxing than having to drive a couple of hours either end of the day in rush hour, and you can use time on the train constructively. -
Re: Biden moves to 70% betting chance for the nomination – politicalbetting.com
The invitation should never have been issued in the first place without confirming with the White House, at most it should have gone to the First Lady only (who likely will come) or the VP. The old stuffy courtiers would never have countenanced a US President getting a formal invite in this way given it is totally against… -

Our once-a-day outdoor exercise excuse for escape from house arrest has been there since the outset. Hence, if that's all they're doing, then they're acting within the rules not flouting them. -

Re: Why Hunt’s cuts to national insurance might not boost the Tories – politicalbetting.com
As someone who has worked for themselves, in the private sector for many years, and then public sector - I think WFH has very little to do with it. For years the public sector has been running on fumes and the good will of staff. Then covid hit and it was 'all hands on deck!'. Which was then rewarded with... Nothing. Or… -
Re: Batley & Spen – What happened in the May locals ward by ward – politicalbetting.com
My parents are moving up to be near their sons and grand-kids. Chasing down a house for them has been hard work - decent properties here in rural Aberdeenshire sell in a few days. -
Re: If LAB had chosen a local for Mid Beds they’d have walked it – politicalbetting.com
Morning everyone, hoping some of the finance experts on here can help out with a question. I've got an opportunity to buy a small business (a bookshop). It's certainly viable - it's been running for 13 years, and has been the sole income for my friend who runs it for all that time. It's going to cost around 30-35k. I don't… -

Re: This should help Farage be re-elected in Clacton – politicalbetting.com
When Alun Cairns first became MP for the Vale of Glamorgan he had a home just over the Western Vale border but it was still just inside Bridgend Borough. Local legend has it, and I can't categorically say it is true or otherwise, he allegedly made enquiries to have the Vale border extended into Bridgend so his house would… -

In a reflection of changing mores, the Supreme Court has given a broad hint this week that would-be tax avoiders can expect no help from the courts if their plans go awry, because tax avoidance is a bad thing: http://www.supremecourt.gov.uk/decided-cases/docs/UKSC_2011_0089_Judgment.pdf "Had mistake been raised in Futter… -
Re: Punters now betting that Truss will be out next year – politicalbetting.com
I've been trying to get my head around the issue facing Pension Funds that required the BoE intervention yesterday. Is this kind of correct? Pension funds buy bonds or lend the government money. But they worry that the value of the bonds could fall as a result of market volatility, resulting itself from eg anticipated need…
