Re: Jenrick remains the favourite to succeed Sunak – politicalbetting.com
Account from an acquaintance who went to two demonstrations the weekend: Spent Saturday at the Stand Up to Racism counter protest in Nottingham, where both sides of the debate were allowed the opportunity to air their views under the watchful eye of Nottinghamshire Constabulary. Bar a couple of scuffles, nothing untoward… -

I must admit had to look quite a few of those benefits up, especially as they seem to be renaming them. What is the difference between DLA and ESA? Aren't they both what used to be incapacity benefit? As for cuts to the benefits, I agree that taking benefits away from the young is not necessarily the best thing. I would… -

A few really useful links from across the pond that may help some of us limeys on election day and night (I never knew that 'limeys' came about because of sailors drinking lime juice to beat scurvy). First, this is a great little video clip by the excellent John King of CNN on the battleground states and when they may… -

Full order books do not register with anyone other than the management classes. All it means for ordinary workers is more unpaid overtime. After 4 years of being an ordinary worker, that is what it means to me. The government policy which helped me was HtB. It also forced me to buy before I was ready because house prices… -

Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Letter to Laura. Does Momentum want to help Jeremy control the
I think it's crazy to talk about "the interersts of the under 50s" as if they were one homogenous group. Even crazier than those articles that say all millennials love foreign travel and avocado on toast. There is a vast spectrum of all views at all ages. As you say, I have already made the point that the young and middle… -

Peggy Noonan, always worth reading, describes this as the end of the republican party no less: http://www.wsj.com/articles/the-republican-party-is-shattering-1457050017 What occurred to me is that if you replace the word Trump with the word Corbyn so much of it holds true: a man who has never been elected to or held office… -

Good evening all and let us not forget the current Israeli PM has been a strong supporter of the Israeli settlement incursions into Palestinian territory over the past 20 years. What is the point of the UN when it seems every country is expected to conform to UN Resolutions except Israel? I resigned from the Conservative… -

Whilst I think the honourable course of action is to resign to create a by-election, I would hate for that to be enshrined in law. My belief has always been that we return a series of individuals to Parliament - and such a law would alter that relationship. Could I see some form of recall mechanism? Perhaps. But mandatory… -

Re: Let’s admit it: the Good Friday Agreement is incompatible with Brexit – politicalbetting.com
Not sure which sub-thread to answer on, so I'll try this one :smile: . Personally I think Owen Jones is a bit of an oaf, though that's not the key issue here. I think the problems with being a wealthy person who preaches a variety of socialism are twofold: verisimilitude and losing the link between the theory and… -
