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… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Who to trust?
And the other great party has been found guilty in court only last week of running a racist housing policy, introduced by you-know-who as Home Secretary. Motes and beams! And is widely held to have run a racist election campaign for London's Mayor. Motes and beams. Betting-wise, since this is a betting site, the main… -

Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » The road to No Deal: Brexit’s Rubik’s Cube may simply be too d
The correct analogy is Love It Or List It. The hen-pecked husband has been persuaded against his better judgement to list the perfectly adequate house because the stroppy mare of a wife can’t get on with the neighbours. Now she’s looking at properties that require a 400 miles daily commute for him that are half-derelict… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Confirmed – 48 letters have been received by Graham Brady and
Morning all :) Well, as might be expected, all the "loyalists" are rallying round tweeting their unfettered support but that's what happened in 1990 until, of course, everyone got to the secrecy of the ballot box when it wasn't quite so clear cut. Back then, based on the noises of support, you'd have supposed would have… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » TIGgers can reshape politics – but not as a collective of lone
He does make a sort of valid point - is politics about personalities or helping people? The word Chuka or Soubry has probably been mentioned far more times this week by the political commentariat than say the words housing, homelessness, education or healthcare. The TIGgers of course probably couldn't agree on a policy to… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » On the Betfair exchange LAB’s chances of winning most seats ne
A big part of the problems Honda have had in recent years with their F1 engine development, has been because they insisted in doing it all in-house from Japan, rather than taking advantage of the massive pool of talent based in the UK. Now they’re working with Red Bull (don’t be confused by the Austrian national anthem,… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » It wasn’t just young people voting that cost TMay her majority
Yes I do deny it. It is not for the first time at all. It has been that way for many years - thanks to Labour. Currently if you receive residential care your house is included in the value of your assets and must be sold when you are still alive, to pay for your care. The Tory proposal moves this to after your death. The… -

Since she went by car to the hospital at 6 am in the early stages of labour that may be unlikely....

Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Lord Ashcroft poll on how Euro voters will vote next year
The colour doesn't matter. Mass immigration has helped push up house prices and rents, keep wages down, and increase unemployment among the low skilled. Labour and the Lib Dems don't accept there's a problem; the Tories haven't been able to get a grip on it - and the people who have lost out (or those who believe they… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » To Clacton and beyond, but just how far is that?
Sorry to quote myself, which is a bit of a solipsism, but I meant to add that my reason for thinking Labour will poll below 30% is that their working man's vote has never been so under threat, not even when Maggie won some of them over with the sale of council housing. I suspect UKIP are going to bite a sizeable chunk out… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Nighthawks is now open
Somewhere in the White House there will now be a wee note mentioning the fact that Ed Miliband is not trustworthy, and that his word is no longer his bond in International Relations. The fact that David Cameron can no longer rely on or trust Ed Miliband and his word as LotO has been glossed over, but its an extremely… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Punters move against Trump on the “will he survive ” markets
Rudd's comments on hacking over the weekend made it quite clear she doesn't know what she's talking about. Her view on encryption makes it clear that she not only doesn't know what she's talking about, but has been completely house trained by the security services. The hack over the weekend was a government-sponsored… -

The fault is in assuming that a disabled person who needs a "spare" room for example for a dialysis machine is being subsidised for excess space . Or for example that housing on which thousands of pounds has been spent in modifying it to suit a disabled person should be vacated by them because they cannot afford the so… -
Re: Was Sunak’s no show in the vote a mistake? – politicalbetting.com
No. I asked the same question and going by what my friend says there is an answer to it. The hospital doesn't specialise in treating patients with problems related to gender identity. It's just that being recorded as having such problems, which are entered on the record whenever a patient self-identifies as non-binary or… -

Re: Watermelons or Green perennials: Are the Greens going anywhere? – politicalbetting.com
There's no logic, is there? The previous fuel crisis was real to some extent, because there was a protest. This time there has been no material change in circumstances. If there was no need for a panic last week, there is no need for a panic this week. The only thing that has changed is that the 24-hour news cycle got a… -

Absolutely, apart from Christmas in Dubai, since Dubai is essentially non-U.

Re: Would the real Keir Starmer please stand up? – politicalbetting.com
It's EE's own fault. They knew this was coming ever since the old decision on the "core" 4G network was made. Vodafone, O2 and Three all started making other investment plans on that basis, O2 specifically removed all existing Huawei equipment from 4G to ensure their 5G rollout would be smooth and Vodafone started that… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » The locals – how the forecasters did
A few comments about the amazing nature of the results. Has a governing party ever done so badly whilst the main opposition has also lost seats. The Lib Dem’s should be pleased but also cautious. Their vote went up only marginally on NEV. it was the field fracturing and the support of Greens and independents that pushed…
