Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Huge blow for Trump as GOP loses the Alabama Senate election o
How did it look like we had abandoned them? Hitler was very keen for us to do just that and pretty much offered the status quo post Dunkirk if I recall correctly ie you leave us alone and we will do likewise. Wouldn't have been viable long term for us, but it wouldn't have been unreasonable for us short term to take it.… -

FPT numbertwelve said: » show previous quotes A shame about Raducanu. She gets a lot of flak which I think is really undeserved. I don’t blame her for making hay when the opportunities came through to her. I do think she has also been unlucky with injury but it’s also clear she was far from the finished article when she… -
Re: Storm(y) in a D cup for Donald Trump – politicalbetting.com
WRT Red Wall constituencies, most are fairly prosperous, with lots of new housing. They are mostly not depressed areas. Corbyn simply nudged the inhabitants into realising they had more in common with the Conservatives than with Labour, but many of these seats had been trending Conservative since 2001. Come the next… -

Was wondering which LibDem seats were targets in 2017 and hence where the surge might be already built in to the baseline, and found the following in the Guardian https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2017/jun/07/tim-farron-labour-votes-seats-lib-dems-tories "Though Farron has been pursuing an 11th-hour strategy to persuade… -

I probably know more about JCB and the Bamfords than most (when I was a kid I used to go to their product launches and displays - pure rock 'n roll) (*), but I think you rather underestimate their brand strength. I was just in Morrisons, where they had a toy JCB by the checkouts for kids to play on. They also sell branded… -
Re: The markets edge back to Johnson but 2022 exit still odds on – politicalbetting.com
Some bizarre stuff has been going on for years. I was told of the following.... An ex-soldier was being prosecuted for stuff that was supposed to have happened in Africa. A former commander heard about it and asked some questions... So he suggested (being a posh) that the ex-solider talk to his (the posh's) family lawyers.… -

Re: The Government really doesn’t want Lockdown 4 – politicalbetting.com
Where it is personal choice, I'm of a similar view but where it remains a requirement (as part of the "Conditions of Carriage" on transport for example) I still do though an increasing number don't. If I were to go to someone's house and they asked me to wear a mask, I would. As for their "effectiveness", I think they have… -
Re: No seat is safe: Tory by-election defences – politicalbetting.com
That betrays a strange understanding of how people work and what makes them most efficient and productive. Nobody with whom I've ever worked (and I include myself) works 100% of the time. The brain requires breaks, diversions - indeed, one of the issues with WFH has been the absence of those diversions. Indeed, I'd go… -

It will probably be labelled as xenophobic again to remind people that the oligarch in Perugia, Evgeny Lebedev is the son of a KGB and FSB agent who worked at the London embassy and somehow managed to acquire $4bn. The father, the (ex?) KGB/FSB agent is also often in Perugia and meets Johnson. The son has recently been… -

He was the same fucking idiot he's always been. A competent leader would have strung Labour along, then concluded with a devastating speech on the day of the vote: 'The Government has failed to convince the House that invading Iraq will be worth one ounce of British blood or treasure, let alone the civilian deaths that… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » The Tories slump to new lows in both Westminster and Euro poll
They can't. So they won't. Manifestos are just distractions and large targets, as May found out. Who remembers Dave's 2010 manifesto (or Brown's for that matter)? The only thing anybody remembers from Con manifesto 2015 was the referendum committment, and Con manifesto 2017 was "we're going to take your house from you".… -

There has been much prevarication on Crossrail 2 though as the Government is expecting the Mayor to fund half the costs without necessarily giving him any more tax raising powers - such as some sort of property tax on the further expected increase in house prices in areas of south west London like Wimbledon and Tooting and… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » The big number to look for in this month’s upcoming Lord As
Complete speculation time: Supposing there is a YES vote for Scottish independence, it would leave Cameron with a majority of 19 when excluding Scottish constituencies (and Sinn Fein, would be increased to 21 if the Tories hold Newark, as Mercer has been sitting as an independent). I can't see the House of Commons passing… -

I think that depends on the country: Germany under Merkel would worry very much about the end of the Atlantic alliance (as would neighbour Poland).

Re: Analysing the market on Biden serving a full term – politicalbetting.com
Having witnessed last night's Party Political Broadcast on behalf of the Scottish Tories [where basically they asked for "your List vote", and then put forward NO policy other than Let's Stop a Referendum] it is clear this is a party on its last legs. I'd like advice about a betting site where I can put money on Labour… -

Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Liz Kendall, virtually unknown 8 weeks ago, in 2nd place in
Jumping to conclusions again SqR! The Tories enthusiastically supported Blair over Iraq; probably wouldn't even have a vote in the House on the matter! If they'd backed the late lamented Charlie Kennedy, with the Labour rebels, the Iraq War would probably, as far as the UK was concerned, have been someone else's fight!…
