Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » The great CON Rochester primary mystery – how the reported
From Comments. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-29753529 How about we pay this, provided the auditors sign off the EU accounts? They haven't done this in every one of the last 19 (!) years. +34 3 HOURS AGO So basically we are paying more for sex and not getting any. +32 3 HOURS AGO I didn't know whether to laugh or cry… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » UKIP 2015 could be like Cleggasm 2010 – putting on votes wh
Just seen Clegg's speech - I find it hilarious to read a few pieces on how bad it was, because it really wasn't. Was it great? Not really, as one would expect from such things. It was professionally delivered, Clegg has no major concerns there even if he's not outstanding (I did think his bit about preferring he be PM… -

Re: Let’s get this right. CON won GE2019 because of Corbyn not Johnson – politicalbetting.com
It's the lies and hypocrisy. If he had said 'yes there were events, we working 18 hour days trying to defeat the pandemic, most of us had Covid-19 by that point, we wound down after stressful day, it shouldn't have happened and I apologise', people wouldn't have been so angry I expect. -
Re: The next Chancellor – politicalbetting.com
You might agree with much of Cummings’ assessment: https://x.com/dominic2306/status/1733077294531416078 delusion after delusion. this isn't 'bad spads/process', it's a PM full on living in a parallel world - he cannot accept he was wrong when he was told explicitly & repeatedly 'your policy cannot & won't work & it's a… -

The guy who has most accurately nailed it today is https://twitter.com/GNev2/status/1486982816810291205 "He’s been briefed the reports a disaster , it finishes him off , he’s not willing to let go, he’s doing everything he can to kick it down the road and stay in power.

Re: Trump moves up in the WH2024 betting after winning the GOP Iowa caucuses – politicalbetting.com
Every year without fail I've ended up changing insurers. Sometimes I've had my existing insurer offer a lower quote than the renewal quote they gave, and be the same price as the lowest price from someone else. As a point of principle, if they're tied, I'll go with the someone else since my existing insurer would have… -
Re: Poll suggests that the LAB lead would be just 3% with PM Sunak – politicalbetting.com
I think the perception on fisheries will turn around more quickly than on farming. I note, eg, that the recent UK / Norway / EU agreement has been welcomed, as a straw in the wind. What I would say it needs is a long term policy from UK Gov, about how they will be managing fisheries in the long-term ie 2026 and beyond. We… -
Re: Why the Conservatives might do worse than the polls suggest – politicalbetting.com
No doubt THAT Leon intentionally copied/echoed Cromwellian rhetoric. However, by the time the Lord Protector gave the Rump the heavy-ho in 1653, its longest-serving (remaining) MPs had been in office since 1640. Wheres the Russian Constituent Assembly sat for a bit less time . . . 13 hours. -
Re: Three days to go before election day and UK punters still rate Trump as a 34% chance – politicalbett
Deep thought: Alaska is like 4 hours behind FL/NC. It has a fair bit of postal/early voting, presumably skewed Dem. Say it's 8pm on the East Coast and FL and NC are getting called for Biden. Alaskans are still at work. Why would the remaining GOP electorate go and vote regardless, when they could go for a beer? -

My father was one of those. He died Friday. He had renal failure and heart failure. He died at home with no pain except for the last 24 hours. Under normal circumstances he would have been in hospital. Wired up to machines surrounded by family and medical professionals. He would have known he was dying. But he didn't. Due… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Time to back Biden (if you can)
But he doesn't stick to his principles! His utter gut instinct, from the very heart of his beliefs, on the day after the Paris attack was to start on about the West being to blame, and specifically not agree that he would allow shoot-to-kill on the streets by UK police in a similar situation. Within days (or was it hours,… -
Re: Even after 38 court flops and two recounts punters are still ready to bet on Trump and Betfair remai
The biggest problem with the US system is that election losers like Trump (and even those who's successor has been elected like Bill Clinton) maintain their powers for months with the unfettered right to abuse them. And since they're on their way out people put up with it thinking "it is what it is, Presidents do their on… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Now what?
I agree that running down the clock without any rate of return has been pathetic, basically. Politicians tend to behave like this. The eleventh hour is an early trigger to start doing stuff, rather than the time at which things get genuinely urgent. Difficult decisions are always postponed (witness the "meaningful… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Not if but when should Ed back an EU referendum?
Stuart, funnily enough I see it the other way around. The last government managed to have an entire election campaign about what the opposition would do having failed to have a spending review, order a nuclear power station in over a decade, seen our country spiral down the PISA ratings and having surrendered to every… -

Meanwhile, over on Twitter, the #IStandWithTomWatson movement, which appears to have been set up to support him in his hour of need, has disintegrated into low farce. Most of the comments are really ripping in to him. Some of the more reprintable comments are: 1. #IStandWithTomWatson because it makes me look like a size 8… -

Is intersting that people think this is a government in chaos.
