Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » The big trend: CON and LAB are still failing to win voters
Remember when the Times used to be the newspaper of record.... Fantastic anecdote in Rachel Sylvester and Alice Thomson’s The Times puff piece for Theresa May this morning. Only snag, it didn’t happen, the PM has not been to the White House yet… http://order-order.com/2016/10/01/may-not-true/ -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Leadsom quits the race. Big question now is whether May is
That has to be the correct one, otherwise, there would have been endless court action. Your point is correct though. The party is splitting. As Southam constantly worries about: who gets the intellectual rights ? I think it will be the Progressive Democrats with a built-in manifesto commitment to change the voting system… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Rubio moves to odds-on overall favourite after strong perfo
You are a bloody fool ; I have been predicting for months that Rubio will not only become the nominee , but will CRUSH Hillary It will not even dawn upon you that Rubio has won the presidency until he's in the White House with his feet upon the desk smoking a victory cigar ...get a clue Sherlock ! -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Volkswagen – the Lance Armstrong of the global auto-mobile
The House of Lords is still in theory kept in check by the idea that the Monarch could flood the chamber with government peers to ensure the primacy of the democratic chamber. This has been threatened twice and I see no reason why, should the Lords become a block on the manifesto commitments of the elected government, that… -

Planning overhaul is the never ending cry of the developer. All the while they are sitting on plots with permission for hundreds of thousands of houses and not developing them. Start charging them council tax on the plots 9 months or a year after planning permission has been granted and watch how quickly they are ready to… -

What we learned from COVID is more cock up rather than conspiracy....or rather just general very poor and inconsistent management of data. Its something Patrick Vallance has been banging on about for ages. It was mind bending that central government had no mechanism to access case numbers and deaths at the start of the… -
Re: 2 months after Rishi collapsed the CON leader market is static – politicalbetting.com
That's generally how it works. Unemployment isn't a big issue at the moment, so there is scope for being a bit more aggressive on inflation. But... The big difference from the past is that we now have very high house prices. And not wanting them to crash has been driving government and BoE policy since 2008. -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » BONUS PB/Polling Matters podcast: What do the boundary commiss
I certainly agree with you and @OldKingCole that that has to stop. I think other rights would have to be contingent on the number of hours actually worked and the time the worker had been there. The beefing up of workers rights, as opposed to employees rights, is probably the way to go. -

At the moment my Council are targetting urban green spaces for Council Housing. They've done 100+, and they are promising another 400. They have form on this; a sports centre was built on the Lammas Field via some legal shenanigans. One is an allegedly "excess" recreation ground in a Council Estate. There has long been a… -

Returning from my walk, I've been listening to some Times Radio, and I'm probably ready to declare them part of the lobotomised MSM.

Survived the Nazis. Didn’t survive “de-Nazification”: Boris Romantschenko survived the concentration camps #Buchenwald, #Peenemünde, #Dora and #BergenBelsen. Now he has been killed by a bullet that hit his house in #Charkiv, #Ukraine. He was 96 years old. We are stunned.… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Punters stick with the ICM/ComRes view of the election – not Y
I think it could be the other way around. The Democrats will likely take the House next year, get overconfident and pick a left liberal like Warren who Trump will beat having been forced to the centre. In London Alan Sugar loathes Khan judging by his Twitter feed and having endorsed May in this general election might be… -

Now, Carillon Court is the focus of a dispute involving residents, the housing association, and Bugler, the construction firm who built it.

Also on Blyth, you can't underestimate how much demographic change there has been in the town in recent years. Massive new estates. Lots of young families whi can't afford a three bedroomed house in Newcastle but can in Blyth. Similar to lots of old mining towns (see also Leigh, Bolsover, Sherwood). For the last five or… -

It's headless chicken time. It's making it up as they are going along and pointless to deny it even though I'm totally convinced Salmond has been talking total rubbish since day one on this and there's going to be the mother of all hangovers if there's a Yes.
