Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » CON might have enjoyed double digit leads in the polls but
Herself has just got out of the bath (one hour and thirty-six minutes not quite a record, but close) and she is still chomping her gums about her trip to Sainsbury's this afternoon. Unfilled shelves, no meal deals, no organic milk, no wonder their profits are down etc. etc. Anyway picking up on the points made about local… -
Re: Shortly there will be an election, in which Labour will increase its majority? politicalbetting.com
Indeed. The best known story about Lord "Jack" Weatherill, former Speaker of the House of Commons, who has died aged 86, concerns a conversation he overheard in the members' toilets after the 1964 general election. A crusty old shire Tory was grumbling that he didn't know what the country was coming to; why, even his… -

Re: With just 46 days to go till WH2020 Biden moves up in the betting – politicalbetting.com
Evening again all :) Considering the logistics and the politics of a second "lockdown". Oddly enough, the Prime Minister might have more trouble with the Conservative Party than with the country as a whole, most of whom, I suspect, will be supportive of the action being taken as case numbers rise. Logistics - it seems… -
Re: And for election day – The Uncultured Mr Maslow – politicalbetting.com
Which is a load of meaningless claptrap. That includes houses where developers have received permission for an entire project but it will take years to build it, even though construction has already begun. It includes houses where permission has been granted in principle, but construction can't occur yet pending other… -

Seattle Times - WA 6th District campaign to replace Derek Kilmer takes a competitive turn Congressman Derek Kilmer’s retirement announcement in November caught a lot of people off guard — he’s only 50, had easily won reelection five times and had already raised more than $1.4 million for a campaign. One person not… -
Re: Support for Brexit drops to new low with YouGov – politicalbetting.com
Just come out of a meeting and turned on the LBC debate. After 5 minutes I have learned Fizzy Lizzy is hell bent on starting WW3. Tugs' says Labour have been planning on concreting over the nation to resolve the housing crisis. Mordaunt on now. She is very tongue tied and vague. Bored now. Badenoch on housing. She is way… -

"That's not really true: the Palestinian Authority, run by Fatah, has attempted to negotiate with Israel." "Attempted to negotiate" is not the same as actually negotiating. When Bill Clinton left the White House, one of the things he told George W. Bush is that Bush should not waste much time in trying to get the PLO to… -
Re: This is not a good look for the Deputy Prime Minister – politicalbetting.com
She has always been a nasty piece of work. Her supporters like to claim that she apologised for saying nasty things about Tories but in reality any apology had to be forced out of her. You can disagree with someone's politics without believing them to be scum. And now to be shown to be as venal as any Tory that she… -
Re: If these numbers persist then Vance is unlikely to win in 2028 – politicalbetting.com
That happened in our village - three (*) large building companies signed on, but instead of being given an area, they were given parts of streets. Which means that many of the 'older' parts of the place have a variety of housing styles per street. Hence people ask whether your house is a Bovis or a Taylor Wimpey house,… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Back to the 1990s? Maybe
The EU referendum has changed everything in politics, and not in a good way. There are many advantages about staying in the EU, but there are disadvantages too. Overall, I'd prefer to be governed by incompetent British politicians than by incompetent European ones, so I voted Leave. But the response by some to the result… -

Fantastic analogy Screaming Eagles!

Regarding the UK housing market - in 1976 I bught a 3 bedroom semi in Knutsford for 11,000 pounds. I sold it less than a year later for 13,000 pounds. The house next to it is currently on sale for 225,000 pounds. I bought a 4 bedroom 3 bathroom house in a North Yorkshire village in 1999 for 150,000 pounds, and sold it in… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » The official campaign Day 1: The line-up for Thursday night
The Labour house is in a terrace, with the front door leading straight onto the pavement. High-vis jackets hang in the hallway, and people in the living room are watching their 50-inch plasma TV, and eating cottage pie with chips and beer. “The furniture is nice, but it’s all on HP”. The Conservative house has nice thick… -
Re: It won’t be Coronation Burnham but it could be Coronation Streeting? – politicalbetting.com
It's a demonstration that kowtowing to Trump only irregularly isn't enough. And if you actively vote against him, as Massie (who is as conservative as they come) has over the Epstein files, they will spare no effort to destroy you. The Thomas Massie primary is truly insane. We are looking at the most expensive U.S. House… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Maybe LAB leadership contests can become an annual event
The reduction's mainly due to legislation 'unfairly imposed on us by unelected bureaucrats in Brussels' (as Farage et al would put it). Actually, this entirely stems from legislation and procedures that the Council of Ministers voluntarily signed up to, but I digress. A lot of environmental legislation has taken the form… -
Re: John Bercow – denied a peerage by BoJo on his retirement – now joins Labour – politicalbetting.com
Bercow as an openly Labour supporting unelected has-been outside of Parliament seems better than Bercow as a 'dignified' 'crossbencher' Lord and 'neutral' ex-Speaker. Bercow has simply confirmed what Tories long knew about him. If he'd had any self-respect he'd have resigned the Speakership many years ago when he realised…
