Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Do 1 in 5 British Muslims really ‘sympathise with Jihadis’?
Ouch http://blogs.new.spectator.co.uk/2015/11/labour-mps-in-despair-at-corbyns-poor-response-to-defence-review/It was poor: Corbyn managed to spend the opening section responding to a different statement on policing, not the one the Commons had just heard. He criticised the government’s plans to cut the police before… -
Re: The Number 10 lockdown bandit plans to tough it out – politicalbetting.com
The use of the word parties is toxic, yet from what has been reported so farthese were pathetic gatherings of work collegues at work. There is a lot of anger about a lot of things, and it’s being focussed on the wrong thing. Right now the nhs needs help. At a minimum I’d like to see hepa filter units in every ward of the… -
Re: The problem for Sunak remains – most voters think Brexit was wrong – politicalbetting.com
It wasn't like that in the 80s. We had a scrap yard on the street corner, an abandoned factory site on the street and a building site opposite. The house, when we moved in had been converted into substandard HMO. The place is fairly gentrified now. The greengrocer in question, there, went. Killed by supermarkets, of… -
Re: Betting opens on Rutherglen & Hamilton even though there’s no vacancy – politicalbetting.com
One very strong memory I have from the week before first lockdown, on the Monday night, I was overnighting at work. I knew it'd be the last time for quite a while (the following day, we were officially sent home for prolonged WFH). I was eating dinner in the local pub I always used. It was almost dead. The waitress was… -
Re: The betting money goes on Biden to be re-elected – politicalbetting.com
Weather-Or-Not-You-Want-It Report Here in the Emerald City of the Great Pacific Northwest, it is a splendid Spring day - in the 2nd week of January. Sunny and temp = 62 degrees Fahrenheit on my humble porch right now. HOWEVER weather radar shows a STRONG band of heavy weather just southeast of the WA Coast, and heading our… -
Re: Foreign Sec Raab now 19% second favourite in the next Cabinet exit betting – politicalbetting.com
A Whitehall source… told the Guardian Raab “refused to be contacted on basically anything” for more than a week, and instead directed that “everything had to go to Goldsmith”. They added that Raab’s team had told civil servants “there was an incredibly high bar to getting him to look at anything while on holiday”. A… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Worrying GE2015 and Euro numbers for the Tories in latest S
The Budget bounce lasted just one day. At least, the Euro flounce bounce lasted a week ! It is the current pensioners who have been hurt the most. Their annuities are tied to whatever arrangements they had made. The "liberation" does not come into effect until September 2015. I have met a few recent pensioners. They are no… -

House of Commons library paper on 2014 local election results. "The estimated share of the vote each party wold have received had the elections been held across the whole of Great Britain is 31% for Labour, 30% for the Conservatives, 18% for UKIP and 11% for the Liberal Democrats."… -
Re: What Did It Know? When Did It Know It? – politicalbetting.com
I don't know what Horse thinks. I don't even know what I think, tbh. It's a fast-changing situation. The IDF currently say that the personnel involved thought that the convoy had been taken over by Hamas gunmen and was thus a legitimate target. If this was an understandable error during the fog of war, I am unclear why… -
Re: The Channel Migrant tragedy on many of the front pages – politicalbetting.com
No, of course not. Let me repost what I posted last night when this was first posted. There is more to this story. This man was convicted of sexual offences against children and was ordered to be put on the sexual offenders' register. He was also made subject to various notification requirements. In breach of these he set… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » The looming fork in the road and the path many MPs will have t
Afternoon all :) I've long thought the only two coherent positions are fully autonomous nation states co-operating and collaborating as and when desirable and practical and a fully integrated European Federation (EuroFed) with the big issues settled at European level but devolution for other issues to much lower levels.… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » There can be no getting round the fact that Tories are stil
My main criticism of the 1997-2001 government was the chronic lack of ambition in a party that had been excluded from government for a generation and which had such a massive majority. Blair really was in a position to do what he liked but he seemed to prefer the quiet life. Where was the equivalent of Gove's reforms or… -

But the Budget is driven in considerable part by those very decisions. From one point of view, the bureaucratic one, it is made up from the departmental budgets from last year, adjusted as needed ... Dentistry? Cut that line, it's not needed. It may be a second order effect but that doesn't mean it doesn't have the same… -
Re: 18 year old Raducnu now 90% favourite to win the SPOTY election – politicalbetting.com
Yet the Tories lost under 45 year olds even in 2019. Some of that age group will also benefit from a gift from their parents or inheritance from their grandparents to help with a deposit. Post Brexit it is over 45 year olds who won the Tories most seats in 2017 and 2019 as younger Remainers have gone to Labour or the LDs.… -

You've gotta love Bradford West! Honestly, I'm slightly disappointed Thornberry hasn't made it, getting her on the ballot didn't present anything like the additional moral hazard to Labour that putting Corbyn on ultimately represented, either in terms of her policies being way off those of the other candidates nor in her… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » For the first time ever neither LAB nor CON occupy the top two
> @Paristonda said: > So are people on here leaning towards Jo Swinson or Ed Davey so far? I'm leaning towards Ed Davey, Jo just hasn't impressed me when I've seen her on TV recently, her speaking style comes off a bit waffly and doesn't really hammer the points home well. Ed has been better on that front, and I also… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » New YouGov poll has Corbyn ahead of TMay as “best PM”
Ten years since the Yorkshire floods started: ' More than 28,000 properties were affected by the flooding that hit large parts of the UK, a BBC survey of local councils suggests. In Hull, 17,000 properties were flooded. More than 1,000 were affected in East Riding, Sheffield, Doncaster and Wakefield. As many as 35,000… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Every day Mrs May remains PM she’s buying the Tories at least
This has unintended consequences for European Citizens in the UK written all over it. The EU will have created two classes of people before the law in the UK: Europeans who have recourse to a foreign court and everyone else who doesn't. So Europeans will have an extra right but also a burden in that anyone interacting with… -
