Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » If LAB shifts a notch on Brexit and backs a CON rebel Commons
If this is correct, it doesn't much matter what our parliament votes for, we'll be told what we're having: Frustrated by what they view as unclear UK positions, EU leaders plan to make a no-frills offer based loosely on an existing free trade deal with Canada. “That will happen no matter whether more or less detail will… -
Re: Opinium finds increasing support for the nurses – politicalbetting.com
There’s nothing to explain. I never said I was in the popular position on the argument, only in the right to point out, whenever Labour have been in power, they have used exactly the same argument I debated Stodge into defeat with, that is, where is your budget, and credibility with the markets, if you settle with the… -

Prescott's plans were cart-before-horse, which is why they were rejected: there was a referendum based on a new body with no defined powers. Had a mirror of Wales or Scotland been on offer, there might have been a different response. Indeed, I went to a 'Yorkshire Says No' event at about the time of the vote in the North… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Where is the Democratic Tea Party?
Who knows? Not the press in Droitwich for sure.... "Public Health England data show that 809 people had been confirmed as testing positive for Covid-19 by 9am on Saturday (July 11) in Herefordshire, an increase of 56 compared with figures released on Friday. It is not yet clear if the 56 new cases were confirmed in the… -

I looked up my 'possible' flight, had my wife, a couple of months ago, been able to do what we wanted to do. Coming back today we'd have come back some four hours later than planned. The only person really 'disturbed' would have been the person...... probably a taxi driver...... scheduled to pick us up from Stansted. There… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » January 2019 Local By-Elections
hi malcolm, how was warhorse? went to see MQ of S but was very disappointed. leading actresses were good but the script/editing left me quite bored to be honest. I was more interested trying to identify the locations they used (which I did pretty well on I think). and I was amused by the travelling scenes that had so few… -
Re: One Current Leader. And One Future One? – politicalbetting.com
Which is a good thing for the UK. The last and creepiest thing you want is for an arrangement to be due to transient and potentially lame duck leader's "love" for each other. Instead Biden and Boris are both professional enough to know that the USA and the UK are extremely close allies and are willing to set aside any… -
Re: Alastair Meeks says Tory voters are crackers here – it is hard to disagree – politicalbetting.com
These problems will go away in time. We are driven by law and convention. From July 19th most things stopped being about law and new conventions have not been established. Until they are we will be treated to the spectacle of nightclubs at one extreme, and long committee debates over whether the minute book has to be… -

Passing May's Shit Deal would leave the Tories still fighting like bezerkers over that Brexit deal. It leaves the DUP pulling support - and ambivalent about a general election being called. It very likely gives us an early general election. These things would have been so had Corbyn kept his party unity with a whipped… -

Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Macron ends up doing even better than the exit polls
Quite so. The Tories are not going to be stupid enough to be backed into a corner on anything. Everyone knows Labours calcs are on the back of a fag packet. They can say pretty much anything and everything and say it is fully costed and no one will believe them. None of them are trusted , especially Corbyn's acolytes. I… -

No, the LPF stuff has never before been seen in a trade agreement. They want to be able to pass future EU law that says no-one working in financial services should be allowed to work more than 35 hours a week, and if the UK doesn’t pass the same law they’ll be denied access to EU markets. The state aid dispute is over the… -

TBH I won't miss it. It should have been the sort of pub I like but every time I visited it was utterly rammed.

So much like Ireland or New Zealand then? Whenever this topic comes up, the line tends to be because of our similarities, the differences are negligible.
