Re: With the US Senate about to start the Trump impeachment process the latest tally has the ex-Presiden
That article, already a fortnight old, was refuted as fake news within 24 hours of it being published two whole weeks ago. Its embarrassing that the website still has it up. All areas got a reduction for a week because of a national disruption in supplies. That happened nationally. The North has been progressing with… -
Re: Thistle do nicely for Starmer – politicalbetting.com
The evidence base seems weak. Britain was much closer to the US over Ukraine and has been obviously preferred as a partner in the Pacific with AUKUS. More houses and more transport infrastructure definitely helps them over the UK, but I don't think it overcomes France's other weaknesses. -
Re: Is it Scötterdämmerung for the SNP? – politicalbetting.com
kamski found a reference to 'swarms of immigrants'. But that was from David Cameron in 2015. And if we go back even earlier there was Gordon Brown's "British Jobs For British Workers" frothing. But what about this: https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2003/nov/27/immigration.immigrationandpublicservices The Home Secretary… -

That amounts to a bet by property speculators that 1.the Conservatives not only promise to repeal it at the outset but also follow through, championing the cause of property speculators by putting it in their manifesto five years later and 2. eventually gain a majority enabling them to do so. Quite a risky bet. And… -
Re: State of the Union – politicalbetting.com
I was mainly joking, but it does seem to have been a bit shit this year. In general we have terrible recall of weather from the past. I've been going on holiday to North Devon since I was born. My childhood memories are of sunny days on the beach, every day for a week. And yet that cannot be true (and asking my parents… -
Re: PG/Britain Trump refuses to face reality – politicalbetting.com
Do you really think he's first choice of people who wouldn't vote Tory anyway? He was a rather unpopular Health Secretary for those on the left and centre left (even by the standard of Conservative health secretaries). He's redeemed himself in their eyes, to a limited extent, by not serving in Johnson's administration. But… -

Re: The Tories could be in for a tough time on May 5th – politicalbetting.com
Sadly our uni has kept them for busy environments and I’ve had a lot of lab classes in the last 5 weeks. Up to 6 hours a day. The uni is supposed to be reviewing at the holidays, but no one is sure if that is Easter (one week away) or summer (9 weeks at least). Very little proper logic has been applied. I note that Oxford… -
Re: An inauspicious start for the splitter – politicalbetting.com
Same here in my tour group of Remainer pensioner moth-spotters (honestly it really is PB on a bus. I keep finding new parallels) Conversation has been resolutely non political in that polite middle middle class British way (apart from the odd harrumph about the awfulness of Brexit and the daily mail) but the day Tiny Tears… -

Morning all, Has there ever been an Autumn Statement like this? We've had days and days of pre-announcements, photo ops and spin. Is it not time the speaker got involved and made clear this stuff is supposed to be made as statement to the House first. -

The referendum night was the acme of pb so far. @AndyJS has a place in the pb pantheon for his spreadsheet. I imagine that some of the financial houses would have paid fortunes for his work, if they'd been aware of it and of its quality. -
Re: The State of the Union, Week 4 – politicalbetting.com
Keir Starmer will cast off the gloom that has dominated his early days in power and pledge to “build a new Britain” as the Treasury examines tweaking the fiscal rules to allow more capital spending. Sources said the government could use next month’s budget to change the way its five-year debt rule is assessed, which could… -

Here in WA State, a bill has been filed in the state House of Representatives, to make assaulting an election worker a (specific) crime; this is direct result of threats made by rabid Trumpskyites against the state election director and local election workers. -
