Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Kamala Harris looks set have a bigger role in this White House
Welcome to my life! 36 hour week (theoretically); over eight weeks paid leave and up to 13 weeks unpaid leave available if I choose; an 18 minute commute (maybe 25 minutes if I travel at rush-hour, which is maybe 10 times a year); often home by 2 o’clock in the afternoon; cycling distance to at least five great bathing… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Alastair Meeks on How Conservative Leavers could gift Labou
I agree with Sean's comments downthread. We are in unprecedented times, and I certainly don't think slower economic growth following a Leave vote will be blamed on the Conservatives to Labour's benefit, particularly under JEREMY CORBYN. You could just as easily make a case that the Great British Public - in their infinite… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » The one way for LAB to close down it’s antisemitism crisis is
I have to say that I don't think today's snow is newsworthy in terms of disruption - Easter Monday, the usual selection of mountain passes and some problems in a small number of towns and high suburbs tight to the Pennines doesn't do it. Disruption should be king in news reporting. We've had a bad winter here, every main… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » The devastating detail from the Survation Clacton by-electi
I imagine it was made with no expectation that the UK economy would be growing quite so remarkably in relation to the rest of the EU. The rise in job creation has been the most spectacular element of this Coalition Govt's management of the economy and I suspect has wrong-footed just about everybody. Not least those on the… -
Re: My “Jo Biden Day 100” approval rating bet now looking touch and go – politicalbetting.com
Lockdown 3 has been miserable, compared to 1, but on the weight front I’ve been more wary and watchful, so I’ve kept a tighter grip. No snacking at all hours. I kept the fridge empty More importantly this world wide chub-out will have long term health consequences -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » The betting chances of Commons agreeing deal before March 30th
You know when you have to go to a meeting, and it takes half an hour, and it's absolutely excruciating, and you come out, and you think it could have been sorted with a two-line email, and then you check your email history and that email has actually been sent two days ago? -
Re: And so to New Hampshire where one of the primaries won’t count – politicalbetting.com
FPT: There is no economic reason why Britain can't import housing, if you want to. In the US, RVs are often used as homes. For example, I've been told about a friend of a friend, who retired and is doing just that, right now. He and his wife sold their home, bought an RV, and are now touring the US. There are now about a… -
Re: Will Johnson make the 2022 leader’s conference speech? – politicalbetting.com
That Peppa Pig World schtick is catnip to the faithful. It's "Boris being Boris" and all terribly amusing to the 0.1% who show up at party conference. And there wouldn't be a dry seat in the house if he lost his place and shuffled some papers a bit. The thing that was wrong with it at the CBI is that leading industrialists… -

You don't seem to understand, the Tory Party will win a majority...... If the economy continues to grow If wages outstrip inflation If Ukip returns to the Tories If Lib Dems return home If Ukip only take off the Tories in safe Tory areas If Labour voters don't vote tactically in Lib Dem seats If Toby gets his way and Ukip… -
Re: Why the Tories will struggle to get an anti-trade union meme going – politicalbetting.com
Gillian Keegan's statement is stupid. Just because she was mature enough to work at 16 does not mean that every 16 year old is. It ignores the evidence in the Cass Interim Report about what gender dysphoria is & the mental condition of many children who think they have it but may also - often do - have other… -
Re: The public are clear about how to deal with Russian aggression – politicalbetting.com
'In an interview with The Telegraph, Mr Burnham set out a broad manifesto of policies he said would “turn the country around”, including higher council tax on expensive homes in London and the South East, £40bn of borrowing to build council houses, income tax cuts for lower earners, as well as a 50p rate for the… -
Re: LAB takes a 6% lead with Survation – politicalbetting.com
Previous generations of Conservative Party MPs probably quoted TS Elliott, thing, something I can’t remember, rising up from a abyss and slouching to Bethlehem, that if he doesn’t put his house in order. They only aspect is alpha mail perhaps, they can’t get head round he is not the one wearing the trousers, because all of… -
Re: Voodoo polling v proper polling (festive edition) – politicalbetting.com
The problem with that is that London needs x00,000 workers to arrive everyday and the infrastructure has been built for the last 200 years for these people to arrive by public transport. Replacing that infrastucture would cost way more than continuing that subsidy. Case in point the Limehouse tunnel (1 mile long cost £300m… -
Re: Johnson under fire for likening Ukraine to Brexit – politicalbetting.com
British volunteer fighters are feared to have triggered a deadly airstrike on a Ukrainian military base after their phones were detected in the area, the Telegraph can reveal. At least 35 people were killed, potentially including three British ex-special forces troops, when 30 Russian cruise missiles pulverised the Yavoriv… -
Re: Kamala Harris is over-priced in the WH2024 nomination betting – politicalbetting.com
Far from scaremongering or the Brexiteer master plan its what we've had for the past two decades. CPI is based upon owner occupiers costs, but for non-owner occupiers housing is the biggest element of their budget even bigger than food and that has been inflated by 6.2% per annum since 1999 but wages have gone up by 2.8%… -

A $53bn (£41.4 billion) reconstruction plan to rival President Donald Trump's idea for the US to "take over Gaza" and move out more than two million Palestinians has been approved by Arab leaders at an emergency summit in the Egyptian capital Cairo.

Much as I would like to be with you all tonight, I am otherwise engaged, amongst other things I´m also an Honorary Consul in Estonia and have been dealing with citizens of the country who have been coming out of Russia by land.

Re: Sleepless Knights of the Shires – politicalbetting.com
Anecdote Alert. That ship has sailed, the exodus has already happened. I meet a lot of Eastern Europeans in my work. The ones I see arrived here working on waste picking lines for minimum wage, some have been promoted to supervisory and managerial roles and their future lies here. The less ambitious ones in many cases left… -
Re: And so to Trump’s final hours in office – politicalbetting.com
It only covers Federal Crimes - state crimes need to be pardoned at State level by the State Governor. And there does seem to be stories of secret pardons as technically they would only need to be revealed if it went to court. I do love the fact Trump has been talking about and offering Pardons to a lot of people in the… -

No, actually complete utter tosh from you and typical of the complete arrogance of some middle class Remainers before the EU referendum and their complete divorce from and lack of interest in working class concerns over immigration that led to the Leave vote. Over the last decade there has been a net decline overall in the…
