Re: Given the proximity of the Scottish Parliament elections Johnson’s devolution comments might not be
No mock outrage here, but it has all gone "Pete Tong" since Sindyref1. Johnson could be right about it all being Blair's fault. If it was Blair who had called and lost the Brexit referendum. If it had been Blair who posutered until the eleventh hour to reach a post Brexit trade deal. If it had been Blair who had mismanaged… -

Bashing Disney is popular among Conservatives in the States. “Big Mouse” is a huge political donor, the vast majority of which goes to Democrats and organisations pushing cultural stuff (think the American version of Stonewall, and BLM).

Re: Kicking issues into the Long Grass – politicalbetting.com
Braverman's response to this report and the work that went into it is much better evidence of her unfitness for office than asking officials about a speeding awareness course. This is the day job and she has fluffed it. I have had a couple of trials recently when children have been describing the abuse of them by step… -
Re: Undefined discussion subject.
Point 1 certainly appears true, point 2 probably is, there's no evidence of which I'm aware for point 3, and point 4 appears to be widely suspected by the medical profession but is not yet proven. The thing that most interests me at the moment is why it is that the UK doesn't seem to be going through the same kind of… -

Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Why are the Eurosceptics not kicking up more of a fuss?
Apologies if this has been mentioned/discussed before as I've been busy for most of the last 24 hours, but am I right in thinking this deal ensures people born in Yorkshire will have fewer rights than people born in Northern Ireland? That sounds like a recipe for enriching the legal profession. -

Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Even Tory leavers are giving Starmer positive approval ratings
I really don't know. I see no good answers. I guess you could remove the 0% VAT rate and charge 20% for *everything* and couple it with removing *all* pension tax benefits. That gets your tax take up in a *moderately* equitable way. On spending, can't touch NHS obvs, ditch some of the dubious capital stuff like HS2,… -
