Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Osbo’s pensioner saving measures could stop some of the see
It's more a case of the same people who always say that Ed is crap saying that Ed is crap again. It's a subject they enjoy raising and they will do it at every opportunity. In the real world, of course, almost no-one watched the speech and almost everyone who did will forget what Ed said by tomorrow, just as every other… -

Clarke says: "There was never a serious attempt to see if there was a pattern to what was happening in school governing bodies. The council's approach has been variously described to me as appeasement and a failure in their duty of care towards their employees." With access to internal council correspondence, he said there… -

This is extraordinary. I've lived in Dover for most of my life, it is the busiest passenger port in Europe, Operation Stack cripples the town. Hastings is at least 1 1/2 hours from Dover along coastal roads, it has zero impact on Dover, I've now been told by headbanging Remainers that it will be a lorry park and subject to… -
Re: Why Sunak’s ratings might not be enough – politicalbetting.com
By all accounts, well, some accounts, MPs had been encouraged to let rip on the expenses after their salaries were held down by millionaire prime ministers. The DPP, one Keir Starmer, took a few off the streets, and David Cameron sacked a few Tories for duck houses and not being his mates. ETA the underlying problem, still… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Post-reshuffle leadership betting: The new Foreign Secretar
So: 1. Hague gone. 2. Gove demoted. 3. Cameron trying to address his "women problem" 4. Osborne's slow and clandestine take-over of the Tory Party continues. If Jeremy Hunt had been given his cards it would have given us a full house, but even so I think Tim may have spontaneously combusted with all of this! -

Ed's not going to win the 2015 GE, 'pouter. He and his party couldn't run a till in sweet shop. Ed would give away the sweets and lose the cash float in hours. "Sweeties, sweeties. Come on children. Get your free sweeties here!". 2000 will be his only chance. When the cash float has been replenished and there be enough… -

If you think that then you are fortunate not to live in Malaysia as I do for six months of the year. Not a day, in my memory, where the temperature has been below 30degC (usually 35) and high humidity, so washed clothes take five hours to dry on the line. Anyway, I'm back here now for the Autumn and it feels so good to be… -
Re: A Brexit bonus from Chancellor Kwasi? – politicalbetting.com
... The WTD is very harmless for all employers other than supremely exploitative ones. If an employee wants the overtime they sign a disclaimer. It is somewhat ironic that Johnson, one of the most slothful and non-productive workers our nation has ever seen was such a fan of the WTD's abolition. Although being unable to… -

No, you were 100% right the first time: However Ms Senior told The Telegraph that a Number 10 official had phoned her on Friday morning to ask about the row "about getting clarity on BCC's position on the referendum".

While I'd say that's bulls**t. We suggest that only A&E patients can go to a hospital directly, but we don't insist upon it. Anyone with a trivial non-urgent case that rocks up at A&E is still seen rather than being sent away and told to call their GP. Two years ago when my wife was very pregnant she fell outside and… -
Re: How many Tory by-election losses will revert back at GE2024? – politicalbetting.com
I agree with Frank, I think. It’s a game of which one is lying. And minister can’t lie to House of Commons. If you look at it objectively, without bias, Staunton is the likely liar. What officially was Henry Staunton sacked for? That’s the first question to answer. If not for bullying accusations against him, then what?… -

That would require a Islamic version of the reformation. I am not sure that is possible.
