Re: A Wakefield by-election looking a distinct possibility – politicalbetting.com
I am instinctively anti the edgelording of Euston Station into Central London. On the other hand, the magnificent King's Cross development definitely does FEEL like Central London now, yet it is NW1 (like me in Camden) Perhaps Central London should include all the 1s. Which loops in E1 as well. Wapping, etc, and N1 -… -
Re: The Future Now – the biggest impact of COVID – politicalbetting.com
Offending people/being offended on Twatter & Farcebook is an occupational activity for some members of the legal challenged community*. If you ask the police, apparently a vast amount of their time is spent on complaints about such matters. When you add to this the phenomenon of "Edgelord" ism - internet speak for trying… -
Re: This would be the result of the night – politicalbetting.com
People who might vote Reform: - Disgruntled ex-Tories - Those who never voted before voting No in the Referendum - Those who only ever voted Labour but are in fact quite right wing and only voted Labour through tribal antipathy to Tories These three are the core vote, to which I would add: - Contrarians (the… -
Re: This week’s charts from R&W – politicalbetting.com
I don't think it's a bad thing that we have very few professional edgelords here on PB. This Spanish story is one where you're likely to get consensus in all but the most 4-chan of forums. It's not particularly controversial. Likewise anti-vaxxers and Russian trolls get short shrift. What the Spanish story does show, yet… -
Re: Brand continues to dominate the front pages – politicalbetting.com
I watched Dispatches last night. A lot of reflections on it, but as an aside - I wasn’t familiar with his work at the time really; just knew of him as a celeb. But Christ alive, his comedy was really nasty and unfunny. Obviously the doco pulls excerpts which are apt for the content (horribly so) but there’s not really much… -
Re: There’s no need for a LAB-LD pact or progressive alliance – politicalbetting.com
Jesus Christ how I hate these twats who think they are fearless magnificent fcking edgelords because they can stare unflinchingly at the prospect of GOING TO THE PUB, in extreme cases WITHOUT A MASK, while their enemies cower and soil themselves in terror. It would be good to have some sort of benchmark from these intrepid… -

Re: Why cutting inheritance tax may be popular – politicalbetting.com
The problem here is that Ukraine have to keep fighting in order to have the desired armistice. All that happens is that the fighting is scaled back. It suits Russia to keep having a war, it is just a skirmish on the edgelands that keeps society in order. The idea that Ukraine can agree a peace is a non starter. Russia has… -
Re: Will eating a kangaroo’s bunghole improve Nigel Farage’s ratings? – politicalbetting.com
This from Meeks is a very good point: https://x.com/AlastairMeeks/status/1727009895378276546?s=20 We could do with seeing some polling for seats that are harder to reach for Labour. The Red Wall is gone already. The blue wall was always much more strongly Tory but that's a mixed battleground with Labour and LD in the mix.… -

Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » So far no conference or JC re-election bounce for LAB
Yes, very good. Not only are home ownership rates falling, we have the some of the smallest new build houses in Europe I think - even comparably dense countries like the Netherlands build bigger than us. And London remains extremely overvalued (see latest UBS figures). Putting aside demand-side issues (low interest rates,… -
