Re: Ipsos MORI Politics + Society podcast. Scotland: Yes is winning so what happens now? – politicalbett
Sorry about your daughter's sorry situation. Fact that she's worried for her workers tells me she's exactly the kind of person we (globally-humanly speaking) need in her profession - the best kind of entrepreneur, employer and community enterprise Clearly lots of small businesses have been horribly (and too-often fatally)… -

Seeing some of the ‘you would have been a Roundhead!’ comments has made me wonder where my loyalties would have lied in the Civil War. I kind of like the idea of monarchy and find it a far superior option than a republic / presidency. The head of state becomes a truly impartial unifier and symbol of statehood and shared… -

In case you don't get the point about disenfranchisement: Today marks the launch of a new cross-party agreement on electoral reform, of which Plaid Cymru is a founding signatory. I join a broad array of political parties – the Lib Dems, the Green Party, the SNP, the Brexit Party – and MPs from across the spectrum in… -

In the note circulated it to friendly media, the details of the speech were not to be published until after 10.30pm tonight meaning it would have appeared only after the ‘trigger’ meeting Watson faces tonight had closed, giving members no opportunity to vote based on his action. In this desperate-looking move, Watson has… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » How the Labour Party would split – and why it won’t
A few people have raised the lack of ideas of the right of the party. I disagree - they have plenty of ideas based on 13 years of Labour in government. During the 1st leadership contest its not that Kendall or Cooper had nothing to say. Its just that (in my opinion) they had nothing new to say and wanted to basically… -

Went to Llandrindrod Wells last Saturday. A drive of nearly 3 hours for about 7 hours canvassing. Lots of enthusiastic helpers from all over the country. Whilst perhaps not very efficient but suspect I was tempted to help in an election we might win - Leicester South being the only other Lib Dem/Liberal parliamentary… -

On London's position as a global and European financial centre, some of that has been aided by EU membership and much of it has not.

Re: The Ukranian Crisis – Day 5 – politicalbetting.com
The Ukr Pres has been saying "Ukrainian borders". As I see it, giving Russia Crimea or the occupied parts of the East is rewarding Putin for his aggressions. I'd be thinking that it would be appropriate reparations, and a return to the established international borders with a DMZ both sides. EU and NATO are matters for… -

RE Fixed Term Parliament Repeal Slugger O'Toole says: There are a few things that are interesting about the new Bill. The first is that it is being proposed in the House of Lords, by a Labour peer – Lord Desai. This makes it unclear if the Government have had any hand or influence in the Bill. They may be attempting to… -
Re: Farage opts for retirement 2021 style – politicalbetting.com
I don’t want to be rude or anything, but this has moved on now from such binary mindset. For example when is restriction on us not restriction on us, when does living with Covid turn back into a lockdown? We are a matter of hours from freedom day, but arguably we haven’t been in a lockdown for months. In fact A lot of… -
Re: Ayrshire hotelier and convicted felon remains the favourite for the White House race in November
I understand your view point. I do not want to change the six polling companies because they are the six which have produced weekly polling for almost 2 years. I do not include More in Common which have provided weekly polls recently because if I did, I would not be able to compare on a consistent basis with the average… -

The FTSE 100 Index closes today a point shy of 6,750, not quite at a record level but 14% up on the calendar year. This despite a profits warning from Debenhams and an admission that its pre-Christmas week had been disappointing which sent its (non FTSE 100 listed) shares tumbling by 12%.

It was annoyingly cagey yesterday. Not on naughty opinions but on its abilities to say anything about statistical trends in demographics and taxation.
