Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » With ballot packs just about go out Davey is the clear favouri
There are no quarantine restrictions on coming back to this country. That’s the biggest and most unconvincing lie by a government since Gordon Brown claimed ‘what I actually said was, ‘no more Tory boom and bust.’’ The rule is that you go home, using public transport, and stay there for a fortnight. Don’t leave the house… -

Meanwhile, in not so leafy Surrey: https://tinyurl.com/y6kzfwtp Basically Woking Borough Council have borrowed £500m to build three tower blocks in the centre of the town. They argue that either they do this or they'll have to let developers build on the green belt. It's interesting to read @NickPalmer say that other parts… -

Merkel is fully on board with the lot. That has been obvious for a while. Cameron is relying on her to square the more recalcitrant EU member states, which she is uniquely placed to do. The hard one is EU migration - I suspect (1) a longer transitional period for any future EU member state will be agreed, at 15+ years and… -

Quite right, Mr. M.. The other day someone on here said that Justine Greening was a member of the LGBT community (under which heading was not mentioned). I felt quite pleased because she has been a politician and minister for some years without me ever knowing that she was a member of of this newly protected minority. As… -

Thank you 😊 I was wrong. 😒. Precious little post Brexit Battleground compared to Bozzy Bears speech. the debate on Brexit has too often been narrow and process-driven.

Though these sixteen people were at least living in a proper flat. There's a level of squalor even lower than this with the 'beds in sheds' aka suburban shanty towns. The Burnt Oak area splits between the boroughs of Barnet and Brent. The populations of those two boroughs as per Wikipedia are: Barnet 1991 300k 2001 315k… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Don Brind: Why having an “electable” leader matters so much
I read that too, I'm against the principle of QE because it predictably failed to do any good to any economy that has tried it. Yes it lowers interest rates and encourages public deficits, but QE is a very corrupt mechanism of giving free money to people who already have tons of money, as a result it reduces investment in… -

No, David Davis, not Boris Johnson, is clearly the face of the negotiations, and Johnson seems so far to have been pretty well marginalised. There are two parties to these negotiations. One side has clearly entered them in a reasonably constructive manner wishing to talk about everything and published lots of detail on its… -

Morning all :) As always, an interesting piece from David (for which, as always, many thanks). Remembering David writes from a Conservative perspective, it's a curious piece given what has happened in his Party in the past 15 months. In May 2015, David Cameron won the first Conservative overall majority in an election in a… -
