Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » LAB’s leadership weakness and another double digit Tory lea
I remember watching a report from Canada on Carney and the criticism is that after some fairly sensible measures during the crash (and due to previous policies they were already one of the best placed major economies), he then didn't turn the taps off and helped fuel what has been a massive house inflation over the past 5+… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Ladrokes offering evens that the SNP will increase the numb
Isn't the correct diplomatic term "the Ambassador has been summoned home for urgent consultations"? In tim's case, this means a reversed charges call to his old playmates in Labour's North West 'media' (sic) office for the 'line'. I imagine, on the basis of previous form, it will be back to Messiah Gove and his bibles, and… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » If the phone polls have got this right Dave’s more in tune
I expected Remain to be dominant given the position adopted by Cameron but @Casino_Royale is right that this is getting ridiculous. At the moment members of the multifarious Leave campaigns (which is surely something that needs sorted out right now) must be looking back to the Lib Dem campaign for AV in awe at its clarity,… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » The 22 LAB targets/seats that political scientist, Rob Ford
Has the deficit been reduced that much ? I thought one of the criticisms of Osborne/Alexander is that they haven't really made that much impression. Yes, there are more full-time jobs which is welcome but many of them are on low wages and there's an argument that employing people rather than spending capital on… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Read all about it. The news sources that matter nowadays
Popular Muslim shopkeeper, 40, was stabbed to death outside his business in a religiously motivated attack by another Muslim just hours after he posted a message wishing his 'beloved Christian nation' a happy Easter A police investigation has been launched into the full details surrounding Mr Shah's death, with officers… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Miliband’s energy price freeze might or might not be good e
I've been number crunching: - The new comments system (Vanilla) was introduced on 22nd March 2013 - That's exactly 200 days ago - If we assume even the most avid poster needs 8 hours a day to sleep and attend to calls of nature*, that means 200x16 = 3200 hours are available - This means that a poster with, say, 10,800… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Team Biden now says he won’t be announcing his VP choice until
A few hours ago, Tammy Baldwin was available at 940. Now 2. Someone has taken everything. In the absence of any news, and since Duckworth has also been backed, my guess is someone mixed them up. -

Re: How different pollsters ask the “best PM” question – politicalbetting.com
I still don't think we have properly understood what is happening in Ukraine. Zelenskyy has said that his goal as president is to destroy the traditional oligarchic order. There may have been backsliding, inconsistencies and the rest but this is what he represents.… -
Re: Just about all the national papers lead on the same story – politicalbetting.com
The Scottish Government has recorded over 6,800 new coronavirus cases and four more deaths in the past 24 hours. It is the highest number of case in a single day recorded since the beginning of the pandemic. According to the latest Scottish Government figures, 6,835 new cases of Covid-19 have been recorded in the past 24… -
Re: DeSantis edges Trump out to become new WH2024 favourite – politicalbetting.com
Putin will have "won" the Donbas by utterly destroying it. It may have agriculture, but 80% of the housing stock has been destroyed and pretty much 100% of the industry it used to have. A majority of the men of fighting age are dead or maimed. He might as well have nuked it for the viability of what is left. Nobody will… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Part 2 of why the Tories should not fear Corbyn becoming PM in
Judging by the article by some Tory MPs in the Sun comic this week (which I read in the local fish and chip shop while waiting for dinner to be wrapped up in it), there seems to be growing support among backbenchers for a radical package to spike Corbyn's guns. This includes replacing National Insurance with a National… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Game over. What should the Labour right do now that it has
What do the Labour right believe? What are they fighting for? If you take someone like Yvette Cooper what does she want that is different from current government policy? Recently, she has wanted us to be more compassionate and more open to refugees in Europe. I think she has been quite effective in this and the fact that… -
Re: In a Tweet how Johnson’s handling of the Christmas lockdown exposes his big weakness – politicalbett
Oh, I doubt that there'll be any vaccine delay. But it has been tweet-threatened on here by tweet-president ScottP. I wouldn't normally get so worked up by something so small ( except 61 seconds being minutes, 61 minutes being hours, 25 hours being days, 8 days being weeks, 32 days (or 29?) being months or 13 months being… -
Re: The latest polling is giving us widely different numbers – politicalbetting.com
The opportunity is there. Has been for a while and indeed for a brief moment London was essentially “the” global capital. Ironically, Ken Livingstone seemed to get this. Sadiq Khan doesn’t have a “Danny”. There are things London needs to work on to support this; someone upthread mentioned Shannon style facilities at… -
Re: Just one in five people are pleased by what Labour have done in office so far – politicalbetting.com
Humorously, it seems like OpenAI's Sora video generator has been guardrailled by the same twits who did Google's image-generator. I asked it for a video of a white kitten... no go! Across multiple attempts and an hour or two thinking it was just overloaded. Then asked for a video of a silver and grey kitten - no problem!… -
Re: Why lockdown scepticism doesn’t resonate much with the voters – politicalbetting.com
Time to commit the ultimate sin (nothing to do with pizza toppings) and comment on a previous thread. Trump was the first one-term Republican to be voted out of office in a very long time. Ford lost in 1976 but he had never been "elected" (he wasn't on the 1972 GOP ticket). Indeed, he nearly lost the 1976 nomination to… -

Off topic personal reflection: We've appointed an estate agent and the house goes on sale next week as we look to depart Teesside for Aberdeenshire. I've been fairly open about the struggles I had transitioning to this new virtual way of doing things but I have transitioned and it opens up all kinds of possibilities.… -

Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » The jobs of one or more of Dave/Ed/Nigel/Nick could be on
F1: my elite spy network (I read it on Twitter) are suggesting Haas will get confirmed for an F1 entry (I'd guess next year). There's been some murmuring about this. He apparently has deep pockets and some actual motorsport knowledge, so hopefully he'll avoid an HRT style cock-up (trying to base your team anywhere other…
