Re: Greater love hath no man than this, that he lay down his friends for his life – politicalbetting.com
Another factor is the rise of second homes and holiday homes enabled by interest rates being on the floor, taking hundreds of thousands of potential homes off the market and driving up costs for everyone. -

Thanks @Garethofthevale for a typically thoughtful thread. -
Re: Why the Republicans are in a panic about Hispanics – politicalbetting.com
For me Boris is an irremediable shithouse because of his abject failure to even make a serious attempt to take advantage of the potential opportunities of Brexit. And because of his personal behaviour. -

A pedant notes that an NHS doctor is supporting his family with complete dependence on the state :wink: Not if he then switches to private! -
Re: Politicians usually never recover from these figures – politicalbetting.com
In this context, it's a passport problem. One group has the right of return to live, but other groups don't. There are similar passport problems in other areas including the UK which no-one talks about. For example the Irish Passport Office continues to issue Irish passports with the right to live and vote in the UK in… -

Re: MAGA might be eating itself – politicalbetting.com
An interesting Scott Galloway interview with historian Heather Richardson. Suggestions are that ultra-rich people in the USA have lost their sense (in their heads) of wealth being in large part luck and opportunity, and that therefore a need to "give back" has been lost; "this is MINE". And some interesting comparisons… -
Re: Breaking: Your Party – politicalbetting.com
Labour, including Starmer, want that for themselves too. They're a bit behind on this stuff. Hence Dodds. -

"...It had good interplay between Cox and Actor Playing Man Who Is Puzzled Evil Exists And Wants An Explanation...". The latter actor was the Canadian Matt Craven, playing Captain Gustav Gilbert. The scene is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Uo2RnBDXsQ . I would have written it differently as it uses 2000's era… -

Re: The Road To Zero (Labour MPs) – politicalbetting.com
I missed this reply from @StillWaters . Following up ... For me, a 7.5 or 8 from 10 in this arena is "good/very good". There's a huge variety. It's a fascinating conversation all about different views and frames of reference, and how they need to be fully defined for mutual understanding to work. One problem with 10/10 is… -
Re: Tears for Keir as we approach the end of the Keir show? – politicalbetting.com
Starmer needs to get a grip . As for his so called election winning guru . It wasn’t a huge feat to beat the Tories . The way some carry on he won against the odds . -

Re: Will tactical voting stop Reform? I’m not convinced – politicalbetting.com
I’m amazed it’s so low. We were constantly being asked to extend terms. 90 days was what we were expected to get before I left and if a supplier wouldn’t accept it had to be signed off by finance manager and general manager. Friends of ours run cleaning company. They were offered 150 days terms to clean the new buildings… -
Re: Why blaming Brexit might help Labour (in the short term) – politicalbetting.com
Two bits of golden-ageism; The best golden age is my young adulthood; everything was great then, and not just my body and social life. The second-best golden age is my time of maximum prestige and power. It is a disgrace that foolish youngsters who don't understand anything are trying to depose me. -

Thank goodness. Stride would probably welcome the budget and demand an apology from Liz Truss. -
Re: Defection watch – politicalbetting.com
Complete nonsense as you'd expect from the BoD. Once again you are wrong. The Board of Deputies, which is a fully representative body covering essentially the whole spectrum of Jews in the UK, has been rightly concerned about the institutional bias of the BBC for some time.
