Re: Think Caerphilly before betting on this by-election – politicalbetting.com
Phillips P O'Brien has characterised them as a good way of doing nothing while appearing to be doing something. We'll see. There are reports that Indian and Chinese refiners are pausing purchases of Russian oil, but this might be caution while they check out the detail. -

... She's dressed to look like Thatcher which I would have thought is qualification enough. -
Re: Clarkson’s talk about becoming an MP, will it lead to diddly squat? – politicalbetting.com
Clarkson is a repellent, self serving loudmouth and would just take parliament even lower if he managed to get elected... and do we really want "celebrity" representatives. They hardly have a glowing record. -
Re: This can be classed as a bona fide Brexit dividend – politicalbetting.com
"Scary"? In my backward Cotswold nanotown we'd assume they were promoting our AmDram society's next panto. Or launching a local slightlybiggertown Monty Python remake. -
Re: A plurality of voters think gambling taxes are too low – politicalbetting.com
The opinion poll graph on Wikipedia would suggest that this is simply an outlier rather than a result of a change in the trend. -
Re: What we think about our leaders – politicalbetting.com
My feeling is the only hope is a Trump style economy. Raise import duties significantly. Require Government suppliers to invest in UK. Cut Government inefficiency and welcome entrepreneurs. Set fixed sum for welfare and stop when sum reached. Chances of this happening? 1 in a million -
Re: Your regular reminder that words matter – politicalbetting.com
It isn't bigoted to think that the word 'marriage' or 'matrimony' refers properly to a ceremony and relationship between one man and one woman and can be so defined. It is a genuinely contested matter and is about the meaning of words. FWIW most Christian groups (including RC and CoE) do so define it. It is completely… -
Re: Apparently Labour’s choice of deputy leader can lose them the next election – politicalbetting.com
Non partisanship and impartiality at the BBC is absolutely appropriate and very much in the spirit of Reithian values, unless of course one is Robbie Gibb, Tim Davie, Mason eulogising Farage after the Reform Conference or Kuennsberg idolising Johnson. Impartiality is good, so long as it it the right kind of impartiality. -
Re: Dominic Cummings is right – politicalbetting.com
At which point Parliament can choose to skip one (or 50-odd). It's been done before. We should expect it to be done again. -
Re: This is why Find Out Now polls are such outliers – politicalbetting.com
And he has denied it. People accused David Cameron of having sex with a pigs head. I assume you believe that too? Is it possible Virginia Giuffre might not have been telling the truth? -
Re: The Rachel Reeves effect – politicalbetting.com
Because the Dukedom of Savoy had bugger all to do with ancient Rome? -

Kemi going in high off her feet with a two footed challenge.. Badenoch has spoken to broadcasters on the football fan ban: “This is a national disgrace.

Re: Will this damage the Greens in England & Wales? – politicalbetting.com
Very much agree with this. Not a great Cameron fan personally but this plan showed both compasion and common sense. Help those who need it, not those who are strong enough to travel on their own. -
Re: Will an Ayrshire hotelier win the 2026 Nobel peace prize? – politicalbetting.com
One point to note: whether there is evidence upon which a properly directed jury could decide fact X is, confusingly, a matter of law. If, which seems unlikely, a relevant matter in a jury case is whether country X is an enemy/threat etc though the government policy is that it is not, then there has to be evidence before… -
Re: An interesting stat – politicalbetting.com
They (the Telegraph) are also blaming Labour for Fenwick on Bond Street being empty. That is a building sold in 2022 for an £430m where the shop closed in February 2024 and is being quickly (by London standards) being converted into (fully let) offices and shops on the ground floor... Got to say every time I walk down Bond… -
Re: Another parable of UK industry – politicalbetting.com
We should still see movement though. It's a bit odd. Interesting to see if they've done approval ratings and have they also remained static. -
