Re: The matter of Britain’s franchise – politicalbetting.com
Workers could be allowed to raid their pension savings at any age under radical new government plans to be unveiled next week, experts have suggested. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/money/pensions/private-pensions/labour-allow-workers-access-pension-savings-early/ Is this some desperate attempt to get growth by people… -
Re: This is why Reform should avoid former elected Tories – politicalbetting.com
If you look in the right place, there are still the remains of a couple of landings by (what was left of) German destroyers. The wreck of the Georg Thiele is party above water. A dog would be required for scale. Here: https://maps.app.goo.gl/NgyrzP2MqnQ8PqZg9 -

Re: Rhetoric meets reality. What will Reform voters make of this? – politicalbetting.com
They can't even blame the Tories on inflation, the previous government left office with inflation down to 2% and generally falling/stable. This is all on Labour and their idiotic tax/spending policies. There's no new external shocks, no COVID, the wars in Ukraine/Israel have already been factored in, Trump's tariffs should… -

There’s this thing called a PCP contract, which cunningly hides how much it is actually costing. -
Re: Some more good news for Starmer – politicalbetting.com
This would depend on renters rent history* being passed onto to people like Experian (who have been lobbying for this). It would also only apply to those renting from large Social Landlords/ALMO's. It's a 'big data' solution loved by centralist organisation so might work if Experian do it rather than a government… -

My experience of Norway is that, as far as the clear blue skies go, that is not that dofferent from normal. Whenever I used to fly into Hammerfest from the Barents Sea in the summer I was always amazed at how cloudless the skies seemed. Not generally that warm though. -

Re: Hypothetical polls are still bobbins – politicalbetting.com
Swapping people who arrive by boat with people who don't try to cross the channel illegally could distance people from wasting their time and money crossing the channel in small boats, reducing the number of people entering the country illegally. Asylum seekers make up a small part of net migration, the larger component is… -
Re: The Entente Cordiale – politicalbetting.com
Afternoon all :) As someone closing in on the state pension, I'm fairly ambivalent about the Triple Lock as, to be honest, many pensioners will see a chunk of that increase taken in tax by HMRC if they aren't wholly reliant on the state pension. The obvious answer, you'd think, would be to ensure the state pension remains… -

Re: Wholly Unacceptable Behaviour – politicalbetting.com
The appeals are partly self selecting because they will be done by those who know the system and what will succeed but that is still an astonishingly high rate. Two different things arise. First, the quality of decision making at the Home Office borders on the abysmal and that relates not only to their decisions but their… -

One distinctive of the 1920s was that the UK paid down war debt very rapidly. And of the 1930s we did not dance the American "austerity collapso", but relatively inflated our economy (helped by significant military expenditure re-inflation from quite early. Quite a lot of the stuff that reaches the news is fluff - whether… -
