Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Mrs. May survives the day getting cabinet backing for the deal
https://twitter.com/SamCoatesTimes/status/1062863617408843776 There were differing accounts as to the mood of the cabinet. Some declared it had been “quite positive” and “generally all reasonably polite and businesslike”. Others, though, claimed afterwards the mood was “worse than Chequers”. In the first hour, the balance… -

@Theuniondivvie "Perhaps you didn't notice it wasn't my tweet" But you posted it thinking you'd show Mail = shoddy journalism & big crowds at Thatcher funeral = lies A little corroborating research wouldn't have been hard; ffs all you had to do was scroll down to see it completely debunked in the comments underneath about… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Rishi Sunak – the PB 200/1 tip to be next PM – gets the Chance
If by the end of Boris' tenure we no longer have the ludicrous situation of armed officers having to tail dangerous extremists on early release 24 hours a day, then the entire Government will have been worthwhile. The mood of the country is not to be soft on these kinds of dangers - God knows, there were plenty of… -
Re: Stodge’s third and final look at the locals – politicalbetting.com
I've only skimmed it now, but it looks impressive. Targeted to pick out no more than the 10% highest risk patients and areas under the ROC curve well above 0.8. Highlighting different patients (and those more at risk) than an early warning score (MEWS - not sure why they preferred that over NEWS, maybe the setting). All my… -

Re: Undefined discussion subject.
The really big betting opportunity over recent weeks, largely missed or seemingly ignored, not least by the clever PB thread writers has been the extraordinary movement in Donald Trump's odds against him becoming the the GOP nominee for POTUS. Just a few short weeks ago these odds on Betfair were around 1.25 (i.e. 1/4 in… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » LAB’s GE17 performance is misleading as a tactical voting guid
The last 24 hours has been a torrid time for labour and in particular Corbyn Ian Austin and John Woodcock later joined by John Mann openly advocate voting for Boris. Tom Watson walks out leaving moderate labour mps marooned in Corbyn's labour party. Three candidates sacked for anti semitic remarks and Margaret Hodge… -

For those here who like doom and disaster predictions Gardenwalker's is one worth noting: ' All cultural interactions are going to cease, and Stratford is going to be closed down.

Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » What looks like being the final polling weekend of the year
Well, no. My sister-in-law, UK resident, this year had to wait over 6 weeks for gall bladder surgery, and didn't know when or where it was to be done, and eventually it was done - with only a couple of days notice - at a private hospital. She had no input as to time or location. My daughter a couple of months later had to… -

Re: The pressure mounts on Biden not to run in WH2024 – politicalbetting.com
You find this is the back story of huge numbers of mega successful people. Most would have been successful to some extent regardless as they had talent and drive, but not necessarily "mega" successful without certain coincidences / timings out of their control e.g. Bill Gates moved school to the only one in the state with… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Corbyn’s activist army as well as the new leader will be on
A scarf is one thing, a mask another. To be on the safe side, assume anyone hiding their face is running the show, kettle them, and identify on the way out. If it's chilly, wet and they start crying after 3 or 4 hours, that's tough. I've been on marches and never felt the need to cover up my identity. Those that did,… -

EVER such a long time ago, when I was newly qualified, a young(ish) last came into my pharmacy, wanting something for a skin rash. Her doctor had, she said, failed to treat it. Various other medications she'd been advised to try, had failed. What could I suggest? I said that, given what she'd said, I'd have to have a think… -

Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » The build up to the May 22nd elections
It is strange how people's experience differs. We have had a fixed line from BT since we moved in (1991). We have been with Plus Net for internet access since they took over Force9 (somewhere back in the 1990s). We have never chased the deal but just stayed with the people who were providing a good service at reasonable… -

Also, from today's BoE minutes "Of the lower than expected 193,000 increase in employment in 2013 Q4, 172,000 had been accounted for by an increase in self-employment.

Re: Boris’s Legacy? – politicalbetting.com
Yup. Most specials do something like 20 hours a month, all on front line shifts. If someone’s been a Special for 12 years then I think it’s absolutely fine to say they have 12 years of front line policing. I mean, I’d advise a political candidate to be really clear, because the media are like children, but I wouldn’t think…
