Re: Not very clever from Cleverly – politicalbetting.com
That's missing a big bit of the picture. A thought experiment for you. Imagine we halved the size of the rental sector by law, from Jan 1st 2025. Done at random - Landlords had to toss a coin to determine if they had to sell up or not. What would happen? A fire-sale of current rental properties. Property prices would drop,… -

Off topic and apologies if this has already been covered but I see that more details are emerging about the NHSX app. As has previously been discussed, the big difference between this and the Google/Apple approach is that, when you are infected, the NHSX app uploads your contacts data to a central database and the central… -
Re: Time for Starmer to be less timid about the Brexit? – politicalbetting.com
In 2019 roughly the same number owned houses under 50 as do now but the Tories won a landslide. Longer term it may be an issue but the swing since 2019 has been amongst home owning voters from 39 to 65 with a mortgage from Conservative to Labour NOT with renting voters under 40 who mostly voted Labour even in 2019. Over… -
Re: This is not sustainable for the Tories – politicalbetting.com
Yet the only major tax cuts Hunt has pushed through this parliament have been to national insurance which workers pay but pensioners don't, so the main benefit went to workers. However still no poll reward. Yes more homes could be built to get more under 40s on the housing ladder but the Conservatives lost them even in… -
Re: From Ipsos-MORI: How the pandemic is changing everyday life – politicalbetting.com
Oisin Murphy, Britain’s champion jockey, has been given a three-month suspension following his positive test for cocaine after riding in France in July, three months shorter than bans served by Frankie Dettori and Kieren Fallon for the same offence in the past, after telling a disciplinary hearing that the positive was due… -
Re: How long before re-join the EU becomes a serious movement? – politicalbetting.com
I think it depends why you thought Johnson won in 2019. I think the two biggest factors were "getting Brexit done" and "levelling up". The first has long been an issue, but wasn't enough to secure May a majority when she tried to use that as a way of doing other Tory policies alongside it. The second was, essentially,… -

The Brussels terrorist gang were preparing an attack on a nuclear power plant and had recorded 12 hours of reconnaissance footage, it has been reported.

Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Tories get closer in Mail on Sunday Survation poll
I've been checking out Metcheck's overnight forecast Sunday/Monday over a number of locations in Southern England and over the past hour or so their projected rainfall has reduced considerably from a range of 30mm-40mm to a range of 18mm-30mm over the nine hour peak period between 21.00hrs Sunday and 06.00 hrs Monday. The… -
Re: Trump edges up the WH2024 betting – politicalbetting.com
The hot war is in Ukraine, but from the Russian point of view, it is only incidentally about Ukraine. For most of the past two decades, Russia has been seeking to overturn what they see as the Western dominated world order. In that time they have not only used violence: in Moldova, Georgia, Syria and other places, as well… -
Re: The Red Wall seems to have swung most against Boris – politicalbetting.com
Communications Act? It's rare for that to be used for an event organiser on FB. Though I think I can recall a couple before. A MAN has been arrested and charged for allegedly organising a Hogmanay party on Nicola Sturgeon’s street. The 33-year-old was nicked yesterday under the Communications Act 2003 after allegedly… -
Re: Sunak and Truss still favourites in the next CON leader betting – politicalbetting.com
That is exactly my plan. In fact I have a pub crawl around plaguey Kingston today. I am hoping my colleagues refuse to work with someone who has been to London recently so I get to work from home next week. Have enough books and videos in the house to keep me amused if I am taken out of action. -
Re: A Bridget too far? – politicalbetting.com
I stopped reading the HP books after about the third one, because by that time Jo Rowling was allowed to more or less dispense with any kind of editor and the books were turning into overblown bricks, also they are kids books, and despite the insane hype, they were not really more than that. Ditto the films, Latterly I… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » A key GE19 battleground: The GE2017 Tories who voted Remain
I am not sure firebrand is generally a good look for GE campaigns. Perhaps he has been told to turn it down so not to scare the horses. Its not like he has to convince the hard left types that would be enthused by such talk to vote for him. -

Oh indeed. Western drugs policy has been an unmitigated failure, but there’s now too many vested interests to do anything about it. You either legalise drugs and tax them, or you build a lot more prisons. Some half way house where most recreational use seems to be tolerated by society, but the whole show is run by the… -

Here in the Western Vale of Glamorgan, a Coronovirus lockdown side effect has been a peculiar crime wave. The theft of Eglu chicken houses complete with chickens. On a more serious note.

A country that works for everyone - not just a privileged few land owners and developers?

If only every company could put the price of their goods up by 40 per cent and get… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Today Corbyn’s Labour lead the ABC1s by 12%
Well it may have been hyperbole but the point is unless you earn a very high income you will not be able to buy in central London now, so move further out and commute in. We also have not mentioned part ownership, which has got a work colleague in an average salary on the housing ladder in Outer London without any…
