Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Speaker cornered. Time for John Bercow to stand down as Speake
The Speaker does not chair the Committee on Standards nor does it consist of people appointed by him. It is appointed by the House and is currently chaired by Sir Kevin Barron. As chair, Barron only votes if a casting vote is required so did not vote on Bercow. SNP MP Douglas Chapman also abstained. The focus has been on… -

As silly as it looks at first glance there's some possible sense to it. Ok she'll have carried the majority of her MPs in this vote at least (though for how much longer who knows) but clearly she would not be able to lead with any authority after such an abject humiliation. However if she were to resign as PM she is… -

I am in 2 minds about her. She can appear quite dim - the counter-terrorism interview and misleading the House of Commons over the number of EU citizens with settled status, for instance. She was sacked for lying and ignoring the rules and I do wonder how attached to the rule of law she is. Plus her sartorial crimes. OTOH… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Tories are aping DTrump when they claim the electoral system’s
The problem is not gerrymandering. Given how inept this government has been in securing majorities in the House of Commons so far on this Parliament, we can safely assume that it will not have the wit to find a compromise that will pass that is favourable to its interests. -

I am not going to speculate but wait and see what happens after wednesday. The debate has been amazing in it's unity across the house with attacks on Putin but also on Corbyn, even from many of his own MP's -

I've only just come into this thread, so apologies if this has already been discussed. With scheme proposed in the main article, the assumption is that the traveller has been in the same country for the last 3 weeks or more, which is the same as the point of origin. How do you know that some one flying from Portugal has… -
Re: Is Gareth Southgate going to follow in Sir Keir Starmer’s footsteps? – politicalbetting.com
Afternoon all :) Just back from my lunchtime constitutional round the streets of East Ham. Regrettably, that cultural abomination, "trick or treat" looks to be getting another outing. I suppose had this morning's rain fallen this evening we'd have been spared much of it. I suppose I could drone on ad nauseam and ad… -
Re: There’s no need for a LAB-LD pact or progressive alliance – politicalbetting.com
Refuser-initiated lockdown has to be treated as a material possibility. They do constitute the bulk of critical care Covid patients in British hospitals, and reports from other countries in Europe suggest that most of their Covid dead are also unvaccinated. As things currently stand the rap sheet against the refusers… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Nighthawks is now open
Something a lot of people have missed. Salmond has suggested agreement that Orkney, Shetland and the Western Isles can have their own referendum to stay or not under Holyrood Government, go under Norway or stay under Westminster. There is another option. Go Independent! This will of course, cause severe anal discomfort to… -

Oh dear, poor little Daily Mail getting an absolute slating on the Farrage " wheels falling off" story.

She fashioned it herself - she could have tried to find a national consensus on how to proceed with Brexit but instead she pandered to the ERG and implicitly told remainers "citizens of nowhere" to get stuffed. The Lancaster House speech set out unachievable red lines and those who tried to tell her that she was riding for… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » The biggest challenge for UKIP at #GE2015 will be the waste
In the end this is all about economics - deprived, urban areas of the UK, wherever they are, have much lower life expectancy rates than reasonably wealthy ones. People tend to smoke more, drink more and lead more inactive lives in places where housing is poor and employment is relatively low. That's why in London you see… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Locals 2014: Some of the highlights on a fast moving night
A couple of observations: The stand-out result so far to me is Hammersmith. On a night when the Conservatives generally did no worse than expected, to lose that particular council is a bit of a shock - it has often been cited as a particularly successful example of Conservative local government in action, but it seems… -

Anyone who makes that generalised idea is an idiot. Migration is both good and bad because if has so many effects on the economy.
