Re: A Streeting named desire – politicalbetting.com
"...It had good interplay between Cox and Actor Playing Man Who Is Puzzled Evil Exists And Wants An Explanation...". The latter actor was the Canadian Matt Craven, playing Captain Gustav Gilbert. The scene is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Uo2RnBDXsQ . I would have written it differently as it uses 2000's era… -

Re: The Road To Zero (Labour MPs) – politicalbetting.com
I missed this reply from @StillWaters . Following up ... For me, a 7.5 or 8 from 10 in this arena is "good/very good". There's a huge variety. It's a fascinating conversation all about different views and frames of reference, and how they need to be fully defined for mutual understanding to work. One problem with 10/10 is… -
Re: Tears for Keir as we approach the end of the Keir show? – politicalbetting.com
Starmer needs to get a grip . As for his so called election winning guru . It wasn’t a huge feat to beat the Tories . The way some carry on he won against the odds . -

Re: Will tactical voting stop Reform? I’m not convinced – politicalbetting.com
I’m amazed it’s so low. We were constantly being asked to extend terms. 90 days was what we were expected to get before I left and if a supplier wouldn’t accept it had to be signed off by finance manager and general manager. Friends of ours run cleaning company. They were offered 150 days terms to clean the new buildings… -
Re: Why blaming Brexit might help Labour (in the short term) – politicalbetting.com
Two bits of golden-ageism; The best golden age is my young adulthood; everything was great then, and not just my body and social life. The second-best golden age is my time of maximum prestige and power. It is a disgrace that foolish youngsters who don't understand anything are trying to depose me. -

Thank goodness. Stride would probably welcome the budget and demand an apology from Liz Truss. -
Re: Defection watch – politicalbetting.com
Complete nonsense as you'd expect from the BoD. Once again you are wrong. The Board of Deputies, which is a fully representative body covering essentially the whole spectrum of Jews in the UK, has been rightly concerned about the institutional bias of the BBC for some time. -

Re: I hope Nigel Farage is putting his money where his mouth is – politicalbetting.com
@Tres A quick read of the 2010 Lib Dem Manifesto reveals this little snippet on page 39: We will scrap unfair university tuition fees for all students taking their first degree, including those studying parties, saving them over £10,000 each. We have a financially responsible plan to phase fees out over six years, so that… -
Re: Why you should be betting on President Marjorie Taylor Greene – politicalbetting.com
Suddenly all is explained appropos MTG suddenly having the multiple conversions of recent weeks... She's as fake as her face. These are not real politicians in the classic sense. Reminds me of Nads. -
Re: The Reform paradox, being the country’s most popular and unpopular party – politicalbetting.com
IIRC, a study 10-12 years ago modelled most Western European countries and showed they were well to the left of their Laffer Curve peak, most clustered about a 1:1 slope.Turkey was the only example where a reduction in tax could raise more tax, but that was from total taxation at over 50% of GDP. That was when UK taxation… -
Re: An update on my 100/1 tip on Ed Miliband succeeding Sir Keir Starmer – politicalbetting.com
A slight "yes, but". About 2/3 of Tesla European sales are made in Berlin (Model Ys). YTD (Aug/Sept) approx sales figures: Year-to-date (Jan-Sep) sales for the Model Y are 109,793, while the Model 3 has sold 49,524 units from Jan-Aug 2025. That's enough for roughly one Model 3 transport from the USA every month at 5000… -
Re: It was a very good night for the Dems – politicalbetting.com
I'd argue David Lammy has taken treasonous actions with BIOT, surrendered over Gibraltar and conceded the concept of reparations at the Commonwealth. But, not over a poppy. -
Re: Getting squeezed like a Chippendale’s arse at a hen party – politicalbetting.com
On Democratic Socialists, including New York's mayor elect: Here's what I asked about Bernie Sanders, years ago: Is he a DEMOCRATIC socialist, or a democratic SOCIALIST? There are two interesting clues in his history: He spent his honeymoon visiting the Soviet Union. Alexander Solzhenitsyn moved to Vermont in 1976 and… -
