Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Why the eligibility rules for Labour’s election could help
For Tony Blair's remaining fans: Tony Blair has been receiving an extraordinary pension of up to £80,000 a year since the day he quit Downing Street. .......Currently aged 49, Mr Cameron will have to wait until he turns 65 to get the still-generous income of around £20,000. He will also be entitled to a backbench MPs’… -

Wales In Chaos again "Merthyr council has begun 45 day consultation with workers - but no-one is sure what they are consulting on. Unions have warned a council that it is breaching its national agreement after launching a consultation which could see staff sacked and re-employed on worse terms. Merthyr Tydfil County… -

Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » The March PB Polling Average: it’s still neck-and-neck
We're getting a bit leafleted out in Broxtowe - most households have now had 3-4 each from Labour and Tories, and I'm starting to hear "mercy, no more" comments. The other parties have been virtually silent so far, and everyone accepts that it's a two-horse race (which doesn't mean that some people won't vote for others,… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » GE2017 heralds the return of two party politics
Everyone will find out about the rally tomorrow night anyway. Two observations I'd make about it: (1) Boris is clearly, now, more of a Number 2 to May than Hammond is. Rudd isn't far behind, but Boris has been over the airwaves *a lot* over the last week - make of that what you will (2) This seat strikes me as having… -
Re: Boris’s Christmas U-turn ain’t going to be good for his popularity – politicalbetting.com
You and everyone else who did their Christmas food shopping today. The last Saturday before Christmas, at half past four, is too late. If tier 4 had been announced yesterday, Friday, that would have been bad enough but Boris had to dither that crucial 24 hours. -
Re: The return of an old by-election tradition – politicalbetting.com
Yep. Harris wanted to defeat Germany without the need for any British soldiers to land on the continent, other than to accept the surrender. There have been many arguments over the years about whether Bomber Command was worth the money and resources (materials and men) that it took. Max Hastings thought not in his book on… -

Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » As Paul Sykes promises to pump millions into UKIP’s EP2014
I'd say its 60-40 in favour to get some kind of agreement, any agreement. The Iranians know that they need the economic noose loosened and whilst they have plenty amongst their ranks not keen on any deal the economic imperative is strong. They also know the US is a bit desperate and will move a few goalposts though Ive… -
Re: If there had been an equal number of men and women voting then Trump would have won a second term –
You have a president quite clearly willing to subvert democracy if it suits him, and a political class in his party willing to go along with it. A large chunk of the electorate is willing to give him a blank check by accepting every lie he comes up with, including the one that he won the election and that US democracy is… -
Re: LAB gets closer to the SNP in Scotland – politicalbetting.com
Does that compensation depend upon if its delayed by factors outside the airlines control or not? Not entirely sure how it works. I recently had a transatlantic fight with a layover scheduled for 3 hours. The second leg plane got cancelled a couple of days before we flew, which the airline blamed on the weather (storms… -

Well I wouldn't expect an unreconstructed socialist neanderthal like yourself to understand phrases like the 'objectification of women' but Mrs Danczuk is seriously letting the sisterhood down particularly when the party has been making an issue out of it. Street-Porter said she felt "ashamed" that Danczuk believed she… -

Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Leave voters rate leaving the EU as more important than peace
That's partly true, but that in turn is largely the direct result of the EU's approach, which has been to invite 'red lines', and set up their own, in a public negotiation by position paper. Inevitably anything that is said by either side in such an approach becomes a red line. It was and is a barmy way to do things,… -
Re: As they say the “optics” don’t look good – politicalbetting.com
There are two problems with fracking: 1. Despite a dozen or two wells having been drilled and fracked, no commercial shale gas deposits have yet been found. That may change, but as of now, it's exploration only. 2. Should commercial quantities of gas be discovered, then exploitation of that resource will be disruptive to… -
