Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » LAB spinners pull off the old “it’s a private poll” ruse
LDs on board it seems.. http://blogs.spectator.co.uk/coffeehouse/2013/10/coalition-parties-near-a-deal-on-energy-bills/ "The good news for the Cameroons on energy is that it looks like they’ll get an agreement by the Autumn Statement to take at least some of the green levies off energy bill. The bad news is that this means… -

Paul Golding, the leader of the fringe far-right group Britain First, has been charged with an offence under the Terrorism Act after refusing to give police access to his phone. He was stopped at Heathrow airport in October while returning from a trip to the Russian parliament in Moscow by officers from the Metropolitan… -

Anecdote alert: Our local drop-in centre in St Neots is excellent, and a much better alternative than our local GP practice, which is absolute rubbish on a number of levels. It says something that we're willing to drive nine miles and wait, just to get a better service. Before the lefties on here get on their high horses,… -

Hence why my initial reaction is did he just want out - if not that or that there is worse to come out, it does seem very odd. Sure, as the first big name to own up to something there might have been pressure to resign, but given JHB's response, I really didn't get the impression there was that much pressure, in fact I… -

Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » The key target for the Tories – those LAB voters in the mar
The measures were relatively few, so perhaps not surprising. Also post-Statement coverage has been relatively evenly split with saving money from the stamp duty changes and fear-mongering about the impact of the further spending cuts perhaps cancelling each other out overall. However, I don't think we can put its potential… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » This week’s by-elections: A LAB & CON hold plus a CON loss to
I have been doing some experiments looking at seats over time. In the US, they assign states a partisan lean based on comparing the national vote to the vote in that state. So if the Reps win nationally by 2% but by 20% in Alaska then Alaska is R+18. I've done a similar exercise where I have picked Lab-Con seats, which… -

After all its only hundreds of billions of pounds and not something important like a penny off a pint of beer.

Strangely enough stuff happening never seems to get in the way of government's encouraging increased… -

Re: A LAB majority now a 62% chance in the GE betting – politicalbetting.com
The rumour is that the Russians have very few serviceable aircraft, and even fewer serviceable pilots. It was said that, before this war, most pilots only flew one hour a week, which isn’t anywhere near enough to stay sharp. It’s quite astonishing to see this persist over a year though. They should have been able to cobble… -

If I had written that the bully boys would have been out big time. I remember something similar happened when the Norwegian nutter, Anders Breivik, turned out to be not a blood thirsty Islamist.

Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Tories take a stonking 21% lead with ComRes poll, up 4% in mon
You are quite right, it should have been a wakeup call for the pro EU side. My thinking is that the Remainers had got so used to remaining silent in order to not scare the horse and letting mission creep achieve their aims, that when it came to cheering on the EU, they’d forgotten all the reasons why they were pro EU.
