Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » For first time since being sacked after getting GE2005 spot on
No, but that is not the same. The clock uses a system of easily divisible integer units that have been grouped together to give an overall system which, although clunky, is managable. Imperial Units in science and engineering takes units that were defined with no consideration of how other units would be interchanged and… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Another Scottish poll gives a little bit of cheer to LAB b
The first season of 24 is great, absolutely fantastic television. The second season is poor, the third season is worse and, after a great opening couple of hours, the 4th season is despicably bad. Do you know the original concept of 24 was going to be 24 hours before a wedding. I watched 24 for the real-time ness, not the… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Why it is not smart making non-voters your main priority
@Carlotta - "Its touching how you spun to the defence of the future Shadow Climate Change Minister with a (rather dodgy) story about how he had two kitchens....." How was I defending him? I merely stated that he had two kitchens because there were two kitchens in his house when he moved in and that this was a pretty common… -

There is no doubt that Boris and Cummings are really getting to their opponents as has been evidenced on this forum over the last 24 hours However, all that matters is the voters and Boris will win or lose entirely on how he performs in their eyes, not some figure in the background -

Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » It is possible Jeremy Corbyn really hates political bettors
Two hours since the polls closed in Spain and over 80% of the votes have already been counted. Looks like the left bloc has definitely won most seats, but not enough for a majority without help from regional parties. -

Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » David is showing signs of beating Goliath
The Iain Martin piece on the child benefit is interesting. I lost £700 in my pay to HMRC last month and it coincided with a letter from HMRC requiring me to fill-in a self-assessment form. I was a bit confused, as I've always been a simple employee and never ever been asked to fill one in. After waiting about 46 minutes to… -

Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » The devastating detail from the Survation Clacton by-electi
I imagine it was made with no expectation that the UK economy would be growing quite so remarkably in relation to the rest of the EU. The rise in job creation has been the most spectacular element of this Coalition Govt's management of the economy and I suspect has wrong-footed just about everybody. Not least those on the… -
Re: Betting now on Trump for the WH2024 GOP nomination seems crazy – politicalbetting.com
I think that's right but I also think too many may be rushing into conclusions about the midterms and its implications. For a start, it was seen as a disappointment for the GOP mainly because there was a ramp up of expectations (and I fell for that as well). In the summer, the expectation was they would do ok but not… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Ipsos-MORI finds CON and LAB level pegging – but with Boris
Today's earnings figures also lead me to think George Osborne, whose own rank unpopularity has been laid bare by MORI, knows he has to try and give something back in his pre-election Budget. I still think the 40p threshold will be raised sharply to drag people in key marginals out of higher rate taxation. That said, I… -

Let's see what happens tomorrow, but also: For about a fortnight my social media feed was "Dementia Tax! Vote Labour!" then "Police Cuts! Vote Labour!" For the last 48 hours it has been "Stop the Racists and Misogynists by showing your solidarity with Diane Abbott! Vote Labour!" I'm going out on a limb but I think one of… -

With the greatest of respect to both DavidL and TSE, do you still seriously think of yourselves as "wet Tories" or "One Nation Tories", if you are Osborne supporters? This is a man who in the last 24 hours has been accused of being too callous to the poor by IDS, David Davis and Nadine Dorries. That after also being… -
Re: Undefined discussion subject.
It is your interpretation of what Cameron was talking about and the "nice old chap" is exactly why they used it. It isn't aimed at the wider public, it is aimed a certain section of the voting public, as a dog whistle to this bloke has some interesting views. As for going off what the HIGNFY or QT or twitter reaction. We… -

Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » TMay drops to new ratings low & comes under fire for not meeti
As long times in politics go, the last 168 hours must have been among the longest. Is there anyone who really believes the Tories can do another 259 of these? One thing that puzzles me is the sense of necessity around Brexit. To a non-believer it looks like the UKIP party is over. The Tories don't have to shore up that…
