Re: Not looking good for Sunak as he approaches Truss levels – politicalbetting.com
This is a great example of the double-standards that prevail within British political debate. If a similar figure in Labour had advocated for such a change of policy the discussion about it would be dominated by recurring all the times they had voted for the 2 child benefit cap, ridiculing them for the u-turn. When a Tory… -

Re: The War at Home: Labour Defences (Part One) – politicalbetting.com
Trouble is, of course, that there are a small number of people to whom the gods who deal with genes has been particularly unkind and who therefore regard themselves as either women with penises or men with vaginas. In other words their brains, and some at least of their hormones, do not match their genitals. Once upon a… -
Re: It is now evens that Johnson will survive 2022 – politicalbetting.com
Its six in the morning in Tallinn and the all out invasion of Ukraine has been running for about two hours. As we feared, the Russian army is attacking along the line of control and also undertaking sea borne attacks against Mariupol and possibly Odessa, as well as a direct attack on Kyiv. Someone else just posted the… -

@AnExileinD4 Gove was a dogmatist who had some ideas that were not bad in and of themselves but no idea of how to implement them effectively where they ran counter to reality. Rayner is a dogmatist with no ideas at all beyond 'me good, they bad' and no idea of how to implement them effectively. She has not grown into her… -

Re: Starmer is back as favourite for next PM – politicalbetting.com
I don't see anything suspicious about this at all. Haiti's Prime Minister Ariel Henry has been banned from leaving the country amid an investigation into his alleged involvement in the assassination of President Jovenel Moïse. A prosecutor is seeking charges against Mr Henry, who has been asked to explain his links with a… -
Re: They Gush over Truss: Betting on the next Tory Leader – politicalbetting.com
Afternoon all :) Time to put the betting into Politicalbetting methinks. Apart from the usual array of horse racing bets with which I slowly deplete my monthly stipend, I've dabbled a little in the football. For all 6 quarter final and semi final matches, I backed the draw at 90 minutes. £10 each time. 3 winners, 3 losers… -

I'm sure that the vaccine has had extensive safety trials over months (when the vast majority of any adverse reactions occur within hours or days). I'm sure that tens of thousands of people have had the vaccine in that time (a number comparable to a quarter of the adult population of Iceland have been vaccinated with one… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » The Biden-Trump betting narrows as the Democratic convention,
They have blue and green pathways up here. A blue pathway says that you have been isolated for a fortnight before your op. That wasn't possible for my wife so she went on the green pathway which involved a Covid test on Friday with the result texted within 48 hours (hopefully the hospital got it because we didn't). The… -

Rod - I disagree. You talk about votes in safe seats not counting but of course they do. And as this election will show no seat is truly safe. A very large number of safe Labour seats in Scotland look set to be blown away. And as for the closed list of one, that applies even more in PR systems where the parties decide who… -

Because it has been up longer and trumpeted by every news outlet going for 2 days and been used as another outlet for Remoaner grief.

Re: The front pages after an eventful day – politicalbetting.com
Parental choice in my experience is a bit of an illusion. You can, if you like, apply to a school which isn't your local school, but you won't get in, because it's full. People in Trafford who are taking their kids to schools which aren't their local schools almost all fall into the category of a) it used to be their local… -

Hard not to accept Wales is improving given the very low point its already at as its hard to do otherwise.

Your agreement that Wales is improving is telling but at least… -
Re: Starmer’s big tent politics just keeps getting bigger and bigger – politicalbetting.com
I think there are two basic tests: 1. Has nothing been offered in return at the expense of someone else, in terms of parliamentary candidacies or the House of Lords for example? 2. Does accepting the defection enhance the chances of other Labour candidates of winning seats at the general election? If the answer to both is… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Nigel Farage reportedly looking to do Corbyn’s dirty work and
A toppling of a PM Boris by a Farage/Lab pincer movement would be rather more than a Portillo moment. PM decapitation by this means would be unparalleled.

Sean sometimes you do write utter crap. There is one person and one person alone responsible if we Scots vote YES in 12 days time. That person is Tony Blair. The day he created the Scottish Parliament was the day he subjected the UK to the inevitable break-up. He even failed to create a "fixed" electoral system to prevent…
