Coveney says Ireland has got reassurance 'there isn't going to be re-emergence of border' This is what Simon Coveney, the Irish deputy prime minister, told RTE a few minutes ago. We hope to be in place in just over an hour’s time that the Taoiseach will be able to make a positive statement to the country. Certainly the… -

Really? You clearly weren't looking very closely. It's virtually all council houses from Chalk Farm through to Kentish Town. And was even more so when Ed was there because many more had not been sold off. You wouldn't want to spend much time around Queen's Crescent after dark. -

This sounds like digital crack cocaine: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/29/technology/bytedance-app-funding-china.html The app is engineered for swift, maximal addictiveness.

Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » The WH2020 betting and polling continue to look good for Biden
Had the Tories formed a minority government in 2010, the LDs could reasonably have acted to block another election by offering to form an alternative government with Labour and other opposition parties. It is far from clear that Cameron would have been granted a dissolution in circumstances where another government could… -

It's on October 28 in Boulder CO. Both the RNC and CNBC say they will not decide on a format until they see how many candidates are left. It's entirely possible there will be no happy hour debate, or that there will be one with a more even candidate split to make it more manageable. CNN has been slammed by all and sundry… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Local By-Election Results : October 16th 2014
Although some Labour MPs spoke out against Mr Neil's referendum bill during Friday's four hour debate, no votes were recorded against it as 283 MPs voted in favour. Look at that. Not one person voted against it. Not one. So what's the problem been these last 40 years? Has Westminster ever perpetrated such a low-life piece… -

Who is going to make the TV broadcast on evening of 29th, announcing formally that we have failed to reach a deal and therefore we are leaving without a deal in a few hours time? I bloody hope it is not May, who should have fallen on her sword before then, or been thrown out by a Cabinet that has finally found some guts.… -
Re: More than 2/3 of those polled blame PM for the harassing of Starmer – politicalbetting.com
I expect my 2021 mac pro will still be running in 2031 and still capable of all but the most intensive tasks. I still have my work "business" laptop from 2012 as my employer never asked for it back. It still boots up, but I'd say it's been more or less unusable since 2017. It's slow, and the build quality is such that bits… -

Even there the tweeter says "same sorts" which is subtly different from "the same people". I've not watched either video because it is 3am and Cheltenham starts in a few hours. Is the editing unfair? Has Boris been hoist by his own petard after CCHQ was caught doing the same thing to Keir Starmer last year? And who will… -

The awkward truth is that it was only due to the discovery of the steam engine and similar devices in the agricultural revolution enabling labour to be replaced with machines that slavery has been abolished. If it still required huge resources of labour for the very wealthy to maintain their lifestyle slavery (certainly in… -

Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » South Shields by-election: Round-up of betting prices
Chuka Harrison comes out off hiding. 'Two-faced Chuka Umunna has been getting on his high horse about how terribly unfair private schools are at the Times CEO Africa summit today: Chuka Umanna suggests private schooling can damage social mobility.' But he wouldn't rule it out for his kids. Excellent comedy. -
Re: Class warfare – politicalbetting.com
Yes, the bridge over the Dnipr was one where the “surface” of the bridge was also the actual structure of it - it was a tubular shell of reinforced concrete. Punch enough holes in that shell & you compromise the bridge itself in a way that’s very difficult to repair. The Kerch bridge is a tougher nut: any individual… -
Re: Education, education, education – politicalbetting.com
It has been seen, in a number of experiments that when you triage people in the A&E queues to see a GP like doctor in the hospital that this works very well. Quite a few people going to A&E do so because of lack of GP access. Which suggests to me that we should go with the flow. Have a bunch of GPs in the hospitals, and a… -

Apologies if this received widespread attention when it came out yesterday, but I've just discovered a different poll (this one's on the public's attitudes towards the coronavirus) and it is a real peach: https://www.kcl.ac.uk/news/uk-still-staying-home-and-even-coming-to-terms-with-lockdown If anyone was in any doubt that… -

I wouldn't insult people in those terms either but terms like "absolute" and "relative" poverty do have some meaning. However, as you say, that's not the point. The point should be how we bring everyone's quality of life to an acceptable standard in terms of housing, education, access to health etc. Every party and every… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Copeland and Stoke Central – the final push
Not sure how it helps UKIP in Stoke in a post Brexit result era, especially with a candidate and party leader that has fast become a PR disaster? It now comes down to a Conservative Government that successfully navigated the Brexit HoCs votes without amendments, and is now equally determined to push the bill through the… -

What I think is curious about Farage and his 'mob rule' comments is how keen he is to go after the judges. Why? All they are doing is interpreting the law in a way that almost no-one has been able to refute effectively. David Herdson tried on here by suggesting that the referendum result was sacrosanct but the legislation…
