Re: The latest Brexit betting from the Smarkets exchange – politicalbetting.com
The Green one is interesting. IMO Ed Milliband was not clear in going about what he wanted to achieve. As Energy Sec he heaped Green Taxes on Energy Bills to fund energy efficiency - fine, but then he proposed to cap prices which would set emissions off again. That does not compute. Lib Dems have a good history on this -… -
Re: The other side of the bet. The ethics of political gambling. – politicalbetting.com
I've been working on that. I've tried a piece straight from the jar on a fork, and for my palate it is so sweet as to be almost painful, and I'm reflecting one what to eat it with to let me taste the herring more than the sugar. But I'm somebody who never puts sugar on anything unless it is say cooked rhubarb or… -

That would be my position too. No point letting Johnson off the hook with moderates... although if Starmer suggested an extension and Johnson was forced to take one, come 31st December, that would tee him up nicely for the ERG. -

Re: New polling tonight finds 78% saying they’ll comply with the latest lockdown regime – politicalbetti
1. Once nearly all over 75-year-olds are vaccinated, the fatality risk (for the population) reduces by 71%. And vaccinating over 75-year-olds means vaccinating 9%. You should stop thinking about herd immunity. If you seriously think we need to vaccinate 80%, you should be talking about cancelling Xmas 2021. 2. Given that… -
