Why have you started calling it "the unloseable election" all of a sudden? It clearly wasn't. And boundary changes weren't in his control once the LDs added conditionality around HoL reform - no PM since the 1940s has been able to deliver on reform of the House of Lords. -
Re: In just a month Sunak sees a massive drop in his ratings – politicalbetting.com
I agree on most of those points in the last posting. EPCs do have value with their Fabric and Environmental Impact numbers for what was a simplistic, cheap process designed to save money - as such it is not robust. Aiui the environmental ratings are based on primary energy use and improvement not point-of-use, so… -

Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » The Case of the Missing Documents
It would certainly be a good idea to rotate it, through all four parts. MPS would have an excuse for a house in each location. In retrospect it would have been far better than devolution which has just given us loads more lightweight politicians. -

With improvements to science and technology I see little reason why potentially in the future the UK couldn't house more people than the entire USA does today. As for where people feel it has been reached, the feeling is not due to numbers but about culture and change etc. -

She may still have holdings in her BTL firm which would be tough to defend. The big danger is that she has interests that haven't been declared to the house register. I'd imagine this is the problem. I'm not saying it's malicious, it's more than likely a case of boneheadedness. -

Steve Baker today to Europe Minister David Lidington "This in-at-all-costs deal looks funny, it smells funny, it might be superficially shiny on the outside but poke it and it’s soft in the middle. Will my Right Honourable Friend admit to the House that he has been reduced to polishing poo?" -

Not "were"... there still are a couple of ethnic minority candidates in the race - Booker and Yang. The latter of those can't be accused of not having performed either. Yang isn't going to be preparing to move into the White House this time next year, but that probably hasn't been the aim and his stock has risen with a… -
Re: Johnson: leading his party into opposition? – politicalbetting.com
Evening all. Had to call an ambulance for my 74 year old mum this afternoon. She's suffering long covid, has been diagnosed with atrial fibrillation and is a few days into beat blockers for that. Breathing has been hard, this afternoon was seriously laboured and gaspy so I called 999. She's ok, so you don't need to express… -

It was only 6 months ago that Johnson, when asked why covid rates were higher in the UK than in Germany, said this: "Actually there is an important difference between our country and many other countries around the world, that is that our country is a freedom-loving country" I don't know. Where I am there have never been… -

The same cohort that has given up so much for everyone else for 4-5% of their lives will be asked to wait another 4-5% of it? To protect the oldies who live in lovely houses in the West Country.

Morning all :) Perhaps the years have fogged my memory but I don't remember fireworks being a big part of New Year celebrations when I was a young Stodge. We missed the start of 2025 here as we were in New Zealand where they let 20 fireworks off from the top of Sky City in Auckland. Last night or rather earlier this… -

Re: The polling that shows that Boris is NOT the right UK leader to protect the union – politicalbetting
The guidance from the DfE is that teachers who have followed their Covid rules are not contacts of a case. So if you are standing inside a box at the front of the room for one hour within 75cm of a positive case you do not *have* to isolate or get tested. Or if you were in the staff room over lunch and a member of staff… -
Re: Time for Badenoch to paint the canvas or others will – politicalbetting.com
For the last 24 hours, she has just been lambasted for doing the exact opposite of what you are saying she does. She spent this weeks PMQ talking about oil fields in the North Sea, much to the despair of the 'right-wing accounts' talking points on TwiX ' who wanted her to talk about other stuff. -

I believe the sentence is 10 weeks suspended for 2 years. And obviously not part of Labour now. Correction, it has been reduced further.

Nobody's immune, Casino, but I'm trying my best. Let me ask you this. Imagine the can has been kicked down to the end of the road and we are facing a No Deal exit tomorrow.
