Re: Moves against abortion could help the Dems in the midterms – politicalbetting.com
Keep an eye on Royal Ascot (14-18 June) and perhaps the Derby (4 June) although the Queen's horse has just been ruled out of the latter. -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » On the third day of Christmas, our MPs sent to me – a general
Interesting article IMO: "Over the past 20 years, the old British trait of self-deprecation has been killed off. And in its place, boasting is booming. Last week, I was told by an 80-year-old Scottish businessman what a successful shipping tycoon he is, how wonderful his poems are, and why young women find him so… -

Re: Rishi Sunak is the new Boris Johnson and that’s not a good thing – politicalbetting.com
He didn't call other Labour MPs who weren't on the list. The rules are explicit, and some of the criticism is down to ignorance of the way the Commons works. There is a list of 20 people who are randomly selected from those wishing to put a question at PMQs. You MUST as Speaker call speakers in this order (though the LOTO… -

Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Boris Johnson – The False Favourite for the Tory leadership
I will be voting for one of the two candidates Parliamentary Party sends me. Regardless of how someone voted back in 2016 EuroRef, for me it's a simple choice as we look forward, not back: We need someone who can get us to 2022. We don't want someone who will crash and burn on Bonfire Night having failed to get… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Good IndyRef poll for YES, LAB moves to 7% YouGov lead whil
Labour's position still seems to be that you cannot have growth in employment without increases in government spending and that cuts are self defeating. This has been proved to be wrong on a truly epic scale. As I have said before on here the question is whether we can have too much of a good thing. If welfare reform is to… -
Re: November the Betfair favourite for the General Election – politicalbetting.com
Agreed. Personally I really enjoyed the lockdown period because lots of things that I enjoy (including chatting here) were easy to do and lots of things I don't enjoy (like commuting to work or endless in-person committee meetings) were no longer expected. I don't talk about it much as I appreciate that it was horrible for… -
Re: Punters give LAB a 94% chance of winning Erdington by-election – politicalbetting.com
They've screwed the pooch, even if they do conquer the rest in short order. 60% of their army has been revealed to be about as real as those that took part in Operation Fortitude the rest is, at best, in poor condition. They've united the West, and made Germany a major military power again, as well as poisoning a nation of… -
Re: Defence of the realm – politicalbetting.com
That's a very interesting question. I was thinking about it the other day. There are a number of aspects to Starmer's situation today, which make his majority of 166 today very different, from, say, Mrs Thatcher's of 144 in 1983. Firstly, it's obvious that the electorate isn't in love with Starmer and his government, as… -

Re: Sunak still favourite for next CON leader but only a 20% chance – politicalbetting.com
It does seem astonishing to me that NUS have not coordinated, campaigned and won a hefty rebate on student fees during COVID (2019-2020, 2020-2021, 2021-22 academic years) They basically have an open and shut case -- lack of face-to-face teaching, reduced contact hours, cancellation of field trips, laboratory classes,… -

In the John Harris video, Ruth Smeeth on GE was asked where are the maomentumers and she said she had asked Labour HQ for volunteers and no one was ever sent.
