Re: The Life of Nigel – politicalbetting.com
It was said that the last time the late QEII got genuinely angry with someone, was when William, alongside his wife and three children, turned up at Sandringham from Windsor in an helicopter he’d flown himself. The now Prince of Wales was told in no uncertain terms that he’s never to travel with all of his children in the… -

If a farm kid wasn't driving a tractor by the time he was 8 in my day there would be serious questions asked. I wasn't much good at backing though at that age. -
Re: Wigs at Dawn – politicalbetting.com
I have not logged in for 2 days because I was told I could not be connected. Tried again this morning but used vf,politicalbetting.com instead of my usual. After I was checked as a human here I am. My task today - waiting in for a gas engineer to service my boiler. Told he would come between 8.0 am and 12.0 pm (is that… -
Re: If you’re betting on the 2028 White House race take note – politicalbetting.com
The early 1970s was the final end of Bretton Woods and the sterling area. That played out the post war British model, which was still based on an imperial-style trading model, even though the physical empire was revealed as a sham in 1956. In 1973 Britain joined the EC and in the 1980s the UK (though really London) found a… -
Re: Robert Jenrick’s secret weapon: being a lawyer as the country loves lawyers – politicalbetting.com
Parties need time to reinvent themselves after long periods in Government - we saw it with the Conservatives after 18 years of office and Labour were the same after 13 years and the Conservatives are now the same after 14 years of leading the Government. It's a necessary process and it doesn't get done in five years… -
Re: Are you ready for Trump winning 2028? – politicalbetting.com
Seriously craven policy making continues. One of the government's greater failings is that it only blunders into being unpopular. It doesn't seem able to embrace it deliberately in the necessary pursuit of good policy. -

Off topic, but important. Possibly. This Washington Post analysis of US special elections: https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/06/27/democratic-special-election-gains/Among all special elections this year, Democrats have outperformed Kamala Harris’s vote share in 2024 by 13 percentage points, based on Harris-Trump… -

Re: Bombing Iran bombs with UK voters meanwhile in America… – politicalbetting.com
I used to have a really good record with getting big flies to fly out, by shouting 'Get out' at them. My theory was that perhaps the sound waves propelled them to the open window. But I gave up that method when my consideration for my neighbours increased. -

Re: The Sunday open thread. How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb – politicalbetting.com
Coming back to this one, it looks like classic Reform-o-Gnomics - a small short term benefit to the country in exchange for a cost that will last a generation, with an enormous black hole in the accounts. Is this not straight from the Trump - trickle-up playbook? For example in Trump furiously pointing at BUT BUT BUT LOOK… -
Re: Apologising for Brexit – politicalbetting.com
Have we done Nige policy on non-doms? "Here’s how it works: every high-net-worth newcomer (or returning leaver) will pay a £250,000 one-off entry contribution in return for a stable, indefinite remittance-style regime on offshore income and a 20-year inheritance-tax shield. Crucially, 100 per cent of this contribution is… -
