Don't be too down on chimney sweeps. Doug Burgum started out as on, and has done pretty well: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doug_Burgum -
Re: It’s a DOGE eat DOGE world – politicalbetting.com
I know - the actual complaints I’ve seen come from people of colour who seem to feel they will be randomly picked on by the police to show the card. While that may be an issue the reality is the police are going to be picking on you anyway so the card or lack thereof is in reality irreverent to your complaint. And as I… -
Re: Apologising for the Liz Truss mishanter – politicalbetting.com
If you want to live to a healthy old age, you might want to take a look at Eric Topol's latest book: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_Topol (FWIW: So far, I seem to have been following his advice, without ever having heard of him. I'll be 82 in August and have no serious health problems. I am not joking when I say that… -
Re: In office but not in power – politicalbetting.com
The *Stockport Viaduct is at capacity, carrying about 400 trains a day. (And the west coast main line). The putative Derby to Manchester line would have to use it too. *Grade two* biggest brick structure in the uk. I’ve seen railway engineer suggested cost of 1bn to open the Monsal trail and more to shift the national… -

Re: Would Labour had an even bigger majority without this front page and strategy by the SNP?
You're old and wizened before your time! I thought it a particularly watchable HIGNFY last night with plenty of the self deprecating humour the British are known for. If you think lampooning Jenrick for his publicity stunt was insulting 'ordinary people' who might have agreed with him then your understanding of 'British… -

Re: Elon Musk has got the hell out of DOGE and it is epic – politicalbetting.com
Mone was fairly brutal in self promotion, getting the face of whoever she needed to have engaged, early on. I'd say a similar tactic did not work when in, the public eye - and someone with profile chose to push back. I agree it will be very interesting what happens to the other seeming COVID bandwagon jumpers via the VIP… -

Re: The challenge for… Labour – politicalbetting.com
I have believed for years that Luxembourg should increase its defense spending to at least 5 percent of its GDP. At least. And I have wondered all that time whether their pitiful contribution could be explained partly by the fact they have no sea coast, and no neighbors that were not in NATO. -
Re: Reform’s leads falls by 5% if you exclude non-voters – politicalbetting.com
However, whether he likes it or not, Cummings is the wrong person to say this stuff. Partly because he made it to the top of his preferred ladder and screwed up massively. But mostly because the forces of populism are forces that he summoned and amplified to power his ascent. He's not so much a boy who cried wolf as a boy… -
Re: A proper Scottish poll brings good news for Reform and independence – politicalbetting.com
Catching up with the news programmes, Michael Clarke on Trevor Philips on Sky seems to me to have a superficiality problem. That's a bit of a surprise; he always does broad sweeps with little detail, but I'm not sure about the specifics sometimes. Strange (to me) commentary on ammunition manufacture capacity here, and the… -
Re: Politicians shouldn’t appoint Lords – politicalbetting.com
The curious thing is that, if that possible outcome is correct, 37% of the vote (SNP+Green) is within 1 of giving an overall majority in Holyrood again. Which, in a partly proportional system, seems remarkable. -

Done the same in similar circumstances. Of course my formal shoes get a lot of wear so there was no real loss in the long run. -
