Mad Nad... (quite possibly in contempt of Parliament, and therefore utterly unsuitable to be appointed to the Lords.) https://twitter.com/NadineDorries/status/1556182172016467969 If this witch hunt continues, it will be the most egregious abuse of power witnessed in Westminster.

Well four hours in my polling station and it has been solidly raining for the past two hours. I didn't sit at the Assembly election but I was told it was significantly busier. Couple of younger voters turned up who are not registered. I think that might well happen more in England as many of the keyboard Momentum warriors… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » CON moves to 9% lead in first GE2020 poll.
The public sector and private sector unions are increasingly divergent. One reason that unemployment did not rise much this recession is that private sector unions cooperated with wage restraint, reduced hours and even zero hours contracts. It is much easier to reverse all of these than to retrain someone who has been on… -

My ex (we have a nearly 20 year old son) has been this mad before. Now she is making all kinds of crazy legal threats which are frankly laughable. But she isn't taking no for an answer and wants more money for our "child" because any court would say what I have provided isn't sufficient for one in full-time education. Yes.… -

On the subject of premature or unexpected death, nearly six years ago my daughter, at 49, was diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease.

Every night has been a party this week! I have been house sitting (farm sitting) for my parents and had an amazing week left in charge as the boss. My girlfriend is here too trying to work from home, though about 180 miles from home, and I was trying to improve the Wi-Fi and wiped it out altogether so she had to tether her… -
Re: The Boundary changes – the winners and losers – politicalbetting.com
Another interesting one is the Parole hearing of Glyn Razell which should take place shortly. He has served 18 years for the murder of his ex-wife Linda even no body has ever been found. There were very strange circumstances which led to his conviction, books have been written about it, and the BBC made a 2 hour TV show.… -

Gardenwalker - I agree with your point about Wigan. On a bigger scale, I'd like to see the Northern Powerhouse - Liverpoll-Manchester-Leeds-Sheffield - compete with the Randstad and the Ruhr. We need better connectivity between our centres, and we need a better skilled workforce - but both of those are doable, within a… -

(Sorry - reckon blockquotes are confused) Except that her words are yanked out of context and (to be blunt) used dishonestly as a self-justification or a smear.

No, he hasn't said that the list includes Fallin and Brewer. The names were put to him and he praised them. Not the same thing. What he has done is list some very sensible criteria, most importantly someone who knows how Washington works and has all the necessary contacts, and who is a fully-vetted elected politician. I do… -

I think you are seeing a conspiracy where there isn't one.

Re: What to read in to this? – politicalbetting.com
I wouldn't read too much into it to be honest. Santos was really embarrassing, even for a modern GOP member, his lies were so egregious and blatant. It is a seat that tends to have a democratic tilt and they really should not have lost it in the first place. The GOP management (and I use that word loosely) of the House has… -

Yes. There are 435 members of the US House. Currently, there is one vacancy (from Louisiana) and another one that has not yet been decided (in New York State). Number present and voting today = 431; the other three are two Reps with COVID, and one Dem with pancreatic cancer. -
Re: It’s the economy stupid? – politicalbetting.com
For the past two decades inflation in housing costs has been over six percent. That's the biggest cost in most households budgets, massively outstripping energy or even food. Good to see Jonny Come Latelies suddenly become aware that costs going up is a thing. -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » There’s no automaticity that the next Tory leader becomes Prim
The House might, however, support a caretaker PM in order to pass legislation avoiding no deal, prior to any election. Unlikely, certainly, but not impossible (and Bercow would accommodate any necessary procedural manoeuvrings). And as has been pointed out, an election is not guaranteed to resolve the current impasse.
