Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » After yesterday’s dramatic Scottish polls LAB braces itself
Zero-hours contracts are another area where labour's been incompetent. ZHC's are, from some polling, generally popular with people who have them, and the majority are not looking for other work. Instead, Labour has bashed the entire segment, stupidly. Especially when Labour MPs, charities and other groups also use ZHC's.… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Whilst TMay is said to be contemplating a no deal Brexit LAB’s
Labours position in the polls has been no great love for Corbyn, his amateur hour shadow cabinet, their last conference/triumphalist rally nor their half baked policy’s, its been a redreamer bubble of hoping they will stop/soften brexit. The bubbles about to burst. They won’t get anything near 34% in the coming GE, nearer… -
Re: Ipsos MORI finds for the first time in a year optimists outnumber pessimists – politicalbetting.com
ON topic, a question for PB software brainiacs. My laptop has just frozen during a Windows 10 update "50% completed, do not switch off" It's just stuck on that and has been stuck for hours. It won't even switch off if I press the off button hard and long Anything else I can do?! -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Election 2014: A 3-act drama and the plot’s bubbling nicely
Mid-Sussex did a face down verification yesterday (took about 3 hours with 72 people actually doing the counting) and the count proper which was due to start at 18:00 tomorrow has been put back to 18:30. I am told that the change of time was to fit in with the rest of the region. The count itself I'd guess will take 3/4… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Sanders’ odds are far too short for Iowa: no-one should be odd
The estimated electoral crossover age (at which support for the Conservatives passes that for Labour) is now only 39. Fortysomethings may no longer be in the first flush of youth but in no reasonable estimation are we "old." The left's support is simply slipping away amongst everyone who has accumulated significant assets,… -

Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » David Herdson on whether Farage has done enough to win a pl
I wonder if most of those with talent and potential have already emigrated laving behind the unemployable who are never going to leave because they have no greater prospects anywhere else. Perhaps the reason the education results in Wales are do awful is down to the raw materiel the teachers have to work on. As for new… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » No Overall Majority now an even hotter favourite for GE15
Charles Your use of hyperbole on the last thread merely outlined the weakness of your argument. I'm well aware of the long term nature of rebalancing the economy and that's why I'm aware of the importance of changing the public's mentality re wealth consumption and living within our means. It was Osborne who complacently… -

you did. Longer report reproduced here, editing & bold is mine: The new coronavirus can survive long exposure to high temperatures, according to an experiment by a team of French scientists. Professor Remi Charrel and colleagues at the Aix-Marseille University in southern France heated the virus that causes Covid-19 to 60… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » COVID-19: It’s Not Your Fault
I have wondered if social distancing contributes to lessening the severity of infection and not just numbers. It has been suggested that viral load (probably a technical term I'm using incorrectly) has a bearing on how well your immune system responds. A couple of viral particles and your immune system has time to ramp up.… -
Re: Braverman set to defect to Reform (no, not that one, yet) – politicalbetting.com
A decade ago, I was in contact with another coastal walker I've never met. It turned out we both 'collected' trig pillars, and we had both been at the same trig pillar in Wales within an hour or so of each other, yet never met. We still haven't, but his travels are far more entertaining than @Leon's... -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Surely this means that TMay has to sack “Fuck Business” Boris?
In defence of Boris he said before the collective responsibility rules were restored. More interestingly the Sunday Times says shagger Boris has been told he has 48 hours to resign or he can kiss his leadership ambitions goodbye Also ten more letters to be sent to be Sir Graham Brady. -
Re: Getting Brexit done, badly – politicalbetting.com
Well, that is very nice of you to say so. I am here because the cat has been sat on my lap for the last 3 hours preventing me from doing any of the things which I must do - writing and also fixing a leaky sink. She has a will of iron and claws like steel traps. But I must be off. I have deadlines!! -
Re: Let’s not forget how appalling Corbyn’s GE2019 ratings were – politicalbetting.com
My edition (24th) is about 1100 pages, pretty small text, but my understanding is that editions have changed massively over the years in terms of detailing the past situation and what changes there have been, for reasons of space, so you don't get a very clear picture of how it has developed for every part of it. I'd have… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Big tent or radical reformers – how does Dave use the Torie
Puzzled by this EPG. You do know that Baldwin became Prime Minister in 1923, before Labour had even held power? He also won a huge election victory in 1924. Any major impact he had on Britain - that is to say, things that happened because of him that would not have happened without him - was in the next five years, up to… -

Re: 3 Tory MP climate sceptics get the Greenpeace treatment – politicalbetting.com
I grew up in Wokingham. It is not the town it once was. For the last 10 or more years there has been mass house building making the town much bigger than it ever used to be. As a result there are many new people living there with different political views. In my view Redwood kept his seat at the last election due to fear… -
Re: Punters think the Ukraine invasion will help Johnson’s survival chances – politicalbetting.com
Corbyn has been forced by circumstances - those darned Ukrainians peruse to be the aggressors! - to this. But don't worry. The moment there is the slightest thing to condemn about Ukrainian actions (imagined or otherwise) he will snap back. Reminds me of a manager who was a totally Company Man. On one occasion, they lied… -
Re: From apotheosis to arrest – politicalbetting.com
You are absolutely correct in this and whilst I expect the conservatives to lose many seats in Wales at the next GE, the Senedd elections in 2026 will be interesting As the only poster( as far as I am aware) on this forum currently facing a serious health issue here in Wales it has come to something that my son is on 24… -
