Re: Badenoch & Reeves sink to new lows – politicalbetting.com
@Taz, Popbitch is paywalled since around February this year. Is there a way of getting around it? -

They are not robots. They are the best artificial-insemination offspring money can buy. -
Re: Tories won't be in the top 2 at the next election if Badenoch maintains these numbers
I was convinced by your first paragraph. I started having doubts on reading your second paragraph 😁 -
Re: Unquiet flows the Don – politicalbetting.com
The Gender Recognition Act predated the Equality Act by 6 years. It still has whatever utility it had when it was passed. The fact that Kemi Badenoch has adopted the tabloid headline interpretation of what the judgment means doesn't mean everyone else has to. -
Re: The Trump impact? – politicalbetting.com
The other day we were debating about whether access is necessary to improve our transport systems. Here's a video from Type Ashton, a youtuber from the USA now living in Germany, returning home to walk her 1980s route to school in small-town Illinois, and to compare what her children do in Deutschland:… -

I'm late to this but I am very sorry to read that @Cyclefree is unwell and in hospital. All my very best wishes for a swift and full recovery. -
Re: A reminder that polling questions matter – politicalbetting.com
I think it quite easy to make the case that the risks to Britain's security have significantly grown in the last few months. That said, as we need to import both the coking coal and the iron ore, then how is that strategically safer than importing steel in the first place? -
Re: The great disappointment – politicalbetting.com
The funniest bit, possibly, was that the event (in London) was organised by various ultra-left types. So the person I spoke to was almost certainly an atheist. Though probably a Cultural Christian. -
Re: It’s grim up North for Labour and the South isn’t any better – politicalbetting.com
That's a poor characterisation. Funding was cut by ~20% 2010-2016 by Osborne and Cameron, but has been increased back in years since then. In the first period the force was pithed of around 15% of officers, many of them the core, experienced cadre I think. It will take years to recover; however funding in real terms has… -
Re: The latest White House betting – politicalbetting.com
As you may recall, following Brexit I panicked regarding the value of GBP, and at one point actually had $3000 in my back pocket as a reserve. In the following years I became more rational and set up a reserve of foreign currency, USD and EUR, to act as a cushion. So as you can imagine my reaction this week as the USD… -

Re: Labour cuts v Tory cuts – politicalbetting.com
So based on my understanding of median, the median business in the UK ( about the 2.9millionth business) employs less than 9 people. Includes about a million 1 man bands, though that number is probably falling. -

Re: Trump number 2 specials – politicalbetting.com
I don’t want it to be the case, but I suspect it would be greeted in a lot of quarters by simply looking the other way now. The US will find it hard to assemble allies, and Europe will be too focussed on the Russian threat. -
Re: A Starmer boost, an Ayrshire hotelier, Brexit dividends (sic), and, chlorinated chickens
I guess Reeves’ plans to try and get everyone to put more money in the stock market are going to be even less popular now. -
Re: The Need For Allies – politicalbetting.com
That's not what I said. Cheap goods are deflationary, and policy has been geared towards avoiding deflation instead of allowing it to happen. -
Re: Party brands – politicalbetting.com
Thanks for the reply. I had a serious dig into this when the story was first out last year, and the non-attendance was being blamed on cycle lane before it was actually built. The previous Vicar there was a character - a biker with a Harley that he used for charity fundraising. What they actually have (in Church of England… -
Re: Punters react to the tariff announcements – politicalbetting.com
US President Donald Trump says he is not considering a pause on new tariffs, to allow negotiations with other countries after being asked directly by a reporter in the White House.
