Re: Is Mark Kelly an out of this world suggestion to win in 2028? – politicalbetting.com
There is a Philip Goldberg who has served as assistant secretary of state for intelligence and research. I'm not sure if he is still around. -

‘ But how in holy hell have we got to the point where we think it is appropriate or sensible to put a highly addictive technology in the pockets of pre-frontal-cortex-deficient teenagers, where their attention is quite literally the product on offer to the most rapacious bidder, just at the point when their whole future… -

Re: A new public funding model – politicalbetting.com
Utterly disgraceful attitude to want to stop assisted dying. If you don't want to have assistance in your death then don't ask for it, but for those who want and need it they should be entitled to ask for it. This illiberalism of wanting to enforce ones beliefs down the throat of others is a disgrace. -
Re: The Tory irrelevance continues – politicalbetting.com
Is it? Norway and Sweden are the most cashless countries in the world. And both governments have recently advised citizens to keep a week's supply of cash, and to regularly use cash to strengthen preparedness and reduce exclusion. Norway also last year passed a law compelling businesses to accept cash, and Sweden may… -

Re: Reeves, nearly as bad as Covid and Truss & Kwarteng but Lab still continue to lead on the economy
@BartholomewRoberts You've drawn a line in the sand at 1997. I am saying Thatcher set the wheels in motion in 1979. Without an availability of RTB properties coming up on the secondhand market twenty years later there would not have been the available stock for BTL -

The economically inactive rate in the UK is 22.1%. That is lower than the EU average - 24.4% It is lower than France (24.8%), Spain (25%), USA (25.1%, Belgium (28.9%) and Italy (33.6%).

Re: Marf delivers her take on the Trump/Putin phone call – politicalbetting.com
Two excellent local by election results at Harborough and Abbots Langley yesterday. This follows the Finchley by election a couple of weeks ago where a similar pattern emerged. Conservatives may do much better on May1st than everyone thinks. -
Re: At what point do the Tories think about ditching Badenoch? – politicalbetting.com
Well not really, Nigel. I merely failed to be the one and only person in the pre IR35 City with a limited company to put themselves voluntarily on PAYE instead of dividends. I don't think supporting Labour requires that sort of sainthood. It would have cost me a shedload and for what? To avoid a bum rap of "hypocrisy" in… -
Re: How low can Elon Musk sink? – politicalbetting.com
Prevailing view here seems to be as it’s Tesla, which is effectively Musk, it’s okay. Probably the same people who think those posters on the tube are hilarious social commentary. -
Re: The age cohorts least likely to be conscripted are the most in favour of conscription
He pretty much had to as the war is the only thing that's keeping him out of jail from all those corruption scandals. I know that's cynical, but when you're dealing with men like Netanyahu, Putin and Trump the worst interpretation is generally accurate. -
Re: The New Rome? – politicalbetting.com
The issue seems to be the idea that if you have a mental health condition you should not work. Plenty of people work through mild to moderate mental illness, wurh or without periods of sick leave - just as people do with physical conditions - yet if they happen to be out of work, they get a fit note and claim they are not… -
Re: Punters continue to think Labour will win the most seats at the next election – politicalbetting.com
Mea culpa on the Own Outright category: I read that wrong. What stands out for me on the socio-economic group chart is now similar the vote share is across all the groups. Class is not the major determiner of voting intention it once was. It’s age and education level that matter more, and there are still plenty of people… -
Re: Punters agree with Farage – politicalbetting.com
B minus? I'd rate her a little higher but fine. That (unlike "terrible") is in the overton window of reasonableness. -
