Re: The HomeSec saga is now a test of Sunak’s authority – politicalbetting.com
So Suella is a Brit who is going to lose her job because migrants coming over here. Allies of Suella Braverman fear she is the victim of a smear campaign amid an increasingly acrimonious battle over her efforts to crack down on net migration. The Home Secretary has been accused of asking civil servants to help organise a… -
Re: History isn’t going to be kind to Trump because of the manner of his departure – politicalbetting.co
A friend of mine was Robert Soros's junior for a couple of years. (Robert Soros ran the equity positions of the Soros Group and has a stellar record.) At the morning meeting one day there was a stand up argument between George Soros and one of his top lieutenants. George Soros loved something and the more junior (but still… -

Much of the focus has understandably been on red versus blue over Dave skipping the debates, but it could be a huge boon to UKIP - Farage gets his share of 3 hours of prime time to anoint himself as the only politician prepared to stand up and debate from the right and anti-EU perspective and say that renegotiation is… -

Seattle Times ($) - Alaska Airlines flight at a different altitude could have been ‘catastrophic’ Several Alaska Airlines Flight 1282 passengers were hurt when a side of the Boeing 737 MAX 9 burst midflight last week — but injuries could have been much worse had circumstances been slightly different, according to local… -
Re: Where the Slippery Slope Leads – politicalbetting.com
With regards to Boris and Geidtgate. In response to a question by SKS he told the house on 28th April this year that he paid for the Downing Street refurb personally. That isn't an error. That's a lie. He knew that was not true. And openly lied about it. I'm losing track. Is that two or three clear cut breaches of the… -

Re: The flaw in Liz’s reliance on tax cuts – politicalbetting.com
I'm curious if anyone has figures to hand of how much Employers NI the Treasury takes from what could have been Asda's employees wages while supposedly subsidising Asda? I suspect there are plenty of minimum wage full time workers at Asda who are paying tax, national insurance and Employers NI and yet they aren't entitled… -
Re: Rishi’s summer and autumn of discontent – politicalbetting.com
. Quite often, we'd attend an incident in a councill house or flat on the Saff, or Brauny or Beaumont Leys, and the occupants would have nothing of any real worth in the place, but maybe a big TV and a PlayStation. It used to really get to me, the unending bleakness of the places we make people live in. When Goscote House… -
Re: Punters see WH2024 as a re-run of WH2020 – Biden v Trump – politicalbetting.com
NYT: Mr. Macron wants France to lead the European Union toward a middle course between the two great powers, demonstrating the “European strategic autonomy” at the core of his vision. He has spoken about an autonomous Europe operating “beside America and China.” Such comments have been an irritant — if no more than that,… -

Now that is more encouraging :smile: . It's so easy to get wrong - I lost count of the number of restored for rental houses I have walked away from because some twunt has done a 25k cosmetic job with the normal Homes Under the Hammer mix, which will have to be gutted again to meet the 2030 regs because an extra 3k has not… -

Perhaps the best way woud be to remember what an audit is for, who it is for and make it work that way. An audit is for the shareholders (ONLY) to confirm the accounts are not materially misstated. [1] But because the UK has legislated to make all companies have audits (at least until the year 2000) combined with that… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » GE2015 Day Minus 1 – the latest polling/betting round-up
The vast majority of politicians - in the UK at least - are hard working and genuinely care about the future of this country. Ed Miliband genuinely believes that what he does will be best for the people of the UK. David Cameron, Nigel Farage, Nick Clegg, Nicola Sturgeon, etc. etc.: all believe passionately in improving… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Lib Dem sources say the debates unlikely to happen
I think it is a bit more complicated unfortunately. This is from Lib Dem Voice after a Clegg speech: "So all three parties now have a balanced budget target, and each is different. The Conservatives want an absolute budget surplus with no exclusions (but with investment rising with GDP), and Labour propose a ‘current… -

@Floater Yes, I had the Oxford jab and had quite a strong reaction to it. My sister suffers from anxiety so I have some understanding of that. Here's what I can say. The reaction wasn't pleasant, but nothing unusual for a mild illness and all described in the data sheet. It started about 15 hours after the jab: injection… -

Re: Kemi Badenoch is taking my advice – politicalbetting.com
@theProle Coal is not the cheapest form of power generation, at least certainly not in the UK. If you have a massive open pit mine full of coal, and you can build a power station next to it, then -yes- it is probably the cheapest power out there. But there are no massive open pit coal mines in the UK. And that's not…
