Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Does this Indy writer have a point – is Boris now really that
If you're not involved with Government I think it is very difficult to understand how badly coronavirus has strained the system, even in areas that aren't directly affected. For example: in an MP's office, so far this May we've had over 3x the number of inquiries we had in May 2019, and we're anticipating it'll be 5x by… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » An overnight local election result that highlights how difficu
We have also had a one hour learned discussion on R4 chaired by D Aaronivitch in which Lord Norton, David Allen Green and many more seemed to consider overall that the referendum didn't conform to parliamentary norms. In these MPs debate and set out proposed constitutional changes in detail, it gets formal approval and… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » The must win the for LAB on May 3rd – Barnet with its sizeable
Indeed. There may be other reasons. It may be that resourcing needs completing, though the US has enough strike power in region. It could be that the US is waiting on the mighty contributions of the UK and France to actually turn up. It could be enabling the Russians to actually get offside or it could all be a ruse, the… -

Fareweel to a' our Scottish fame, Fareweel our ancient glory; Fareweel ev'n to the Scottish name, Sae fam'd in martial story. Now Sark rins over Solway sands, An' Tweed rins to the ocean, To mark where England's province stands- Such a parcel of rogues in a nation! What force or guile could not subdue, Thro' many warlike… -
Re: If punters are right CON set to lose both upcoming by-elections – politicalbetting.com
I’ve just had a long chat with my Russian friend Julia. She told me that she’s been talking to her Ukrainian friend (I said don’t pretend you’re human with a made-up Ukrainian friend. She did see the funny side) and he’d just got his family out of there. They’d told him that everyone had noticed that the only thing left… -
Re: The “Crisis What Crisis” immersive theatrical experience – politicalbetting.com
I remember the rotad power cuts vividly. I can't remember which year, 71 or 72. We had candles etc because the power cuts used to last 4hours. Thinking back there must have been a lot of house fires. -
Re: Trump remains favourite to win W2024 – politicalbetting.com
I think it must be variable by institution. Last summer the food I received was somewhere between OK and good, and there was a wide menu - albeit with the occasional "none left today". If needed they also have sandwiches etc available on the ward at my local hospital. I have a family member who has been in hospital over… -
Re: The polling that should scare Sunak and every Tory – politicalbetting.com
Solar farms don't make a lot of economic sense. Sticking panels on the rooves of houses, offices, shops, industrial parks, etc., makes a lot of sense though. Fracking - the issue is that we simply don't have enough idea of what the long term costs are in the UK. If you go to the big US shale plays, you will have massive… -

Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Speculation over 2019 election has punters now making it a 42%
I can’t see how a general election can work well for the Conservatives at present, being torn apart by the wild horses of the Brexit party and the Lib Dems. But since every decision they’ve made recently has been the worst one possible for themselves, perhaps they will go for it anyway. -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » The Midas touch. Living in a world of abundant knowledge
Each individual is different and likewise each location and occupation is also different. There has been no austerity but rather cuts in some areas and profligacy in others. For all the talk of food banks and zero hours jobs there's a very great number of people who are doing very well and spending accordingly. -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Betting on the number of tweets by Donald Trump next week
It is one of the great ironies of Brexit that the United Kingdom’s messy divorce from Europe, sold as an effort to reclaim parliamentary sovereignty, has instead delivered its opposite. Last Monday, the House of Commons voted in the early stages of the European Union Withdrawal Bill to give the government sweeping powers… -

Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Well done to Corbyn on his victory and to YouGov for gettin
I think you are almost certainly right on the latter. You may be right on the former. It is hard to tell because I don't think anyone has any idea of what the electorate will turn out to be on the night. If it is a near-traditional electorate, then polls showing Hillary 6-8% clear will probably be right. If the traditional… -
Re: Brexit: The great turd blossom? – politicalbetting.com
Pay has never been decided primarily by difficulty or importance of the work, regardless of how much many peoples' instinctive moral sense might desire it to be. My impression for train drivers in particular is that there was a boom time when there just weren't enough trained drivers and so operating companies were… -

@isam As the non EU migrant numbers show though the Gov't was not willing to attempt to reduce any sort of migration.

Re: So what will now happen in Scotland at the general election? – politicalbetting.com
No. My old route was one of the ones got rid of to make efficiency savings Which means I now have a route in Marlborough with over 300 more houses than the old one I walk the same distance as before, but I don't have to climb as much now I had to train a guy who's been a postie for twelve years on the part of my route that… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » The betting on when will Article 50 be triggered, if ever?
Evening all :) I see Leadsom's 24 hours of fame are over and the knives are out for her from the pro-May camp which is basically the pro-Cameron anti-anyone connected with LEAVE camp. Far from Crabb being Continuity Cameron, it now seems the dissident pro-EU Cameroons are lining up behind May in an attempt to slow or even… -
Re: Mid Beds -the latest from Betfair – politicalbetting.com
Sounds quite possible, though I'm not seeing much reporting from Tamworth. The conference may help persuade tactical non-Tories to go Labour, though so far it's been overshadowed by Gaza. I still don't see any route for the LibDems to win it, and wish they'd ease off from muddying the tactical water. I think the Betfair… -
