Re: Fewer than a third think Farage will become PM within four years – politicalbetting.com
Off topic, but I feel I should warn TSE (and others) about this: The Seattle Storm has just imported a French woman, Dominique Malonga. (In her defense, I should mention that she is 6-6, and can dunk a basketball. I think she is rather pretty, like most women athletes.) https://storm.wnba.com/roster For some time the WNBA,… -

Re: Reform, no joy just division. Will Lowe tear us apart? – politicalbetting.com
My friends in the aerospace/space industry here in SoCal are sounding increasing downbeat about Starship - like it'll never work because the weight reductions they need to achieve compromise structural integrity too much negative. And these are people who absolutely love SpaceX. -
Re: I can’t get no satisfaction – politicalbetting.com
.... It's a very silly idea. The hope of these people is that they will get asylum in the UK, or abscond whilst waiting. This does absolutely nothing to quench that hope. It shouldn't have even made it past the first person suggesting it in a meeting. -
Re: Why Boris Johnson is not the answer – politicalbetting.com
The old journalism adage was "who the hell reads the second paragraph?" The new journalism adage is "who the hell reads any paragraphs at all?" Besides, it's technically true- Lammy has been accused. Just incorrectly, by the look of it. -
Re: Americans expect tariffs to hurt America and the world – politicalbetting.com
No question they are just people but we have enough freeloaders without importing millions more. Pompous rich idiots think it is a great wheeze but it will be ended eventually by the poor voting in people who will sort it and people like you will not be so smug then with the baggage that will come with it. -
Re: From penumbra to umbra? – politicalbetting.com
Channel 4 reporter please. Do we need a link? I thought as a member of the Groucho you would have the dirt on Mr Spencer (keep it to yourself). Ooh Betty! -
Re: She may be gone but the Truss legacy still endures – politicalbetting.com
All those Johnson fanbois on here seem to have missed the idea that he is wholly ridiculed and the reason for the Faragegasm and Starmer's vile speech was spawned by Johnson's post- Brexit immigration policy. -
Re: In February 2025 Trump had a 99% approval rating – politicalbetting.com
Arthur C. Clarke's short story, "Refugee", has a clue for a better refugee policy for the UK. At the end, the refugee offers to work. (I'm quite fond of that story, along with another in his The Other Side of the Sky collection, "A Question of Residence".) -
Re: America is going to the dogs – politicalbetting.com
@StillWaters would you prefer if I didn't faithfully reflect sentiment on the ground? I could do without the histrionic ad hominem, please. Otherwise me and people like me will shut up, you'll stay in a comfortable little bubble, and be wholly surprised and blindsided by the political change when it comes. -
Re: Recent history suggests Badenoch will not make it to the general election – politicalbetting.com
Who has money these days - drug dealers, oligarchs and kleptocrats? Why not throw in a peerage as well. There is custom and practice to support the idea. -

Re: A 50/1 tip to start your day – politicalbetting.com
It's actually standard procedure for the Bundesamt für Verfassungsschutz. They did exactly the same thing in 2023, for example, when they designated the youth wing of the AfD as confirmed extremist, then put that on hold while the AfD made a challenge in court. After the AfD had lost in court they used the confirmed… -
Re: Like the Welsh rugby union team Welsh Labour are performing really badly – politicalbetting.com
Not sure a 'threat of violence' is such a concern. Those intent on violence rarely advertise the use of it. They just do it - which is why such unprovoked violence should be dealt with in the most severe way. I'd rather people turned their minds to dealing with the upsurge of domestic violence in the UK and the effects it… -
Re: Winning the argument vs the other lot being useless – politicalbetting.com
Given the reluctance of this government in terms of youth mobility with the EU I can’t see them having agreed to this India deal without a cap on how many temporary workers can come to the UK . Regardless Starmer had better make sure he has answers to what I expect will be a barrage of questions in today’s PMQs . The vast… -
