Re: Is Gareth Southgate going to follow in Sir Keir Starmer’s footsteps? – politicalbetting.com
Annoyed, as I said, and with very good reason. I recommend it. -

Re: Trump becoming an even stronger favourite in the WH2024 betting – politicalbetting.com
Ah, the biannual moving-the-clocks discussion. I suggest you all move south a bit, and live somewhere where it’s not needed! < / smug_face > It’s actually a very noticable difference, that one hour time zone change. It’s the difference between a midweek UK football match finishing at 12:45 local time for me, or finishing… -
Re: Last stop before the midterms: Virginia 2021 – politicalbetting.com
If they choose to, that can be in the strategic plan for 5 years' time. However, I do not associate Boris with the word "plan", and there are probably bigger fish to fry for now. Suspending them might be an option at some point, or introducing a French trawler inspection facility at Whitby or Whitehaven, or at the Port of… -
Re: Starmer’s successor looks set to be one of these three – politicalbetting.com
No. He was ordered to relieve Minorca, which was under French attack. However, he had insufficient soldiers to effect a landing and after being challenged by the French, with his already small and undermanned fleet damaged, he returned to Gibraltar with the intention of repairing and coming back with a fresh force to have… -

Re: Time for budget bingo – will Sunak say these words/phrases? – politicalbetting.com
That has got to be the greatest self awareness fail ever. Even worse than Topping accusing somebody else of being selfish or rude. -
Re: Reeves puts herself in the frame as Starmer’s successor – politicalbetting.com
I have to say I didn't care less about her original comment or her apology. She always struck me as indistinguishable from Laura Pidcock and Rebecca Long Bailey. The big mystery was always how any of the three of them got past a Labour selection committee -
Re: This morning’s front pages are, in the main, positive for Sunak – politicalbetting.com
And if the voters disagree with the compromises the parties have made, they will punish the party in question at the next election. In Coalition negotiations, parties have to bear that in mind. That the overall intent (as per Charles' comment) and ideological lean are the important bits and if the parties betray those,… -
Re: December 2024: A tongue-in-cheek prediction – politicalbetting.com
It certainly looks dodgy, if (as reported) the threshold really is set at 11%. The budget clearly painted a picture of winners and losers within wine categories - with roses specifically named as benefitting. Yet almost all roses nowadays, and indeed almost all wines, are above the 11% mark -
Re: What will Rishi’s PM chances look like after today’s budget? – politicalbetting.com
Yep, network theoretical approaches to epidemiology are more appropriate, which means number of and density at the hubs, and duration of interactions at those hubs. -

Re: Vaccine refuseniks are like WW2 blitz blackout breakers – politicalbetting.com
No. That is equally wrong. That way lies outsourcing all your domain knowledge, just as the MBA and lawyers think that the Core Business is only legal, accounting and a pile of actual money. Nearly every company has IT as part of it's Core Business, though. -
Re: The banning EU mineral water story is surely a spoof – politicalbetting.com
In an argument as important and heated as that over restrictions, there's bound to be a lot of political cherry picking of data from all sides of the argument - and the lockdown hawks are neither immune from this nor in possession of a monopoly on virtue. One of the things that struck me a couple of days ago seeing Prof… -

Vancouver Canucks versus Seattle Kraken, first home game for Emerald City's new NHL team started ten minutes ago. So far biggest news out of Climate Pledge Stadium is that our WNBA mega-star Sue Bird is at the game modeling a Kraken jersey. -
Re: When the rules are the main event: Smarkets covid restrictions market – politicalbetting.com
3/4 of the retired do not need full time residential care. Those that do will have their specific care costs capped under the government's new plans
