Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Mr Rentoul might not like this but the polling shows that E
Don't think so Neil although there are few things as confusing on this planet as housing statistics. The BBC were reporting a forecast that the number of houses built in 2014 would be down on 2013 and that this would be reported in February 2015, just in time for the election. I think the basis for this was the Q2… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Why Starmer is not going to let go of the issue of Johnson not
The lockdown has been financially pretty disastrous for me and will probably defer my retirement by a couple of years but having said that I have had 3 months now of 2 hour walks in the hills and country lanes by my house every day, I am less stressed (as long as I try hard not to think about money) than I have been for a… -
Re: Farage goes to Holyrood – politicalbetting.com
@donmcgowan So, I wonder if, this morning, the UK media is parked outside Nigel Farage's house in Clacton? Most people seem to know where it is now. Has there been graffiti sprayed across the front walls, as there was for Angela Rayner? Or, as I suspect, we have a misogynistic, two-tier media system that will happily hound… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Corbyn plummets to record low in latest Ipsos-MORI leader sati
FPT: I see no polling evidence of a guaranteed majority for a Boris Johnson-led Government which has not delivered on Brexit. So, moving forwards (or backwards), Johnson takes over on the afternoon of July 24th and at present the Commons rises for the summer recess the following day so would a VoNC be possible - presumably… -
Re: The Rachel effect? – politicalbetting.com
As regards to planning there are in fact some easy wins. Many applications are delayed by the backlog in planning departments but in my recent experience this has got a bit better recently, we gave had one consent given and another allocated to a senior planning officer who is engaging constructively in the last month.… -

SUNIL No need to point it out.. I am probably the only PBer who has been chased through some Dublin council house rear gardens in the early hours by a some pistol wielding boyos.. so I am very aware...I also went on patrol with some of the soldiers... but it seemed to me then and still does that the killings were mainly… -
Re: In Kemiworld tactical voting is dirty tricks – politicalbetting.com
I've been wittering on about this on PB for (probably) as long as I've been on here. It's not as though I don't have a load of new-builds around me to study. ;) I may have posted this before, but here's a house built this year in West Cambourne. Note how they've used any colour of brick they could find on site. The house… -
Re: The pre-Xmas polls won’t help Johnson’s survival chances – politicalbetting.com
Yes, the hundred Tories and the Cabinet stood up and made themselves be counted. Great service to the nation. Finally the levers of power have been crowbarred away from the unelected scientists who seek to impose what they think is best for us on a nation by way of leaks, modelled data and scaring elected politicians with… -
Re: Unite the right – politicalbetting.com
Ukraine hasn't hurt the Government. Johnson was too weak to see through his original Covid policy, which was much the same as Sweden's highly successful policy. As soon as he caved and locked down he handed the pass to the big state enthusiasts. He didn't even believe in it himself, which is how he was upended for not… -

Trump now in to 14 - having been as long as 32 approx 24 hours ago.

Re: Scottish independence hasn’t gone away you know – politicalbetting.com
Today’s Sunday Rawnsley, fresh in from garden sunshine: Having spent the last three years being much too nonchalant about the threat of him recapturing the White House, British politicians and their counterparts elsewhere in Europe can no longer deny to themselves that a Trump second coming is terrifyingly possible. The… -
Re: Corbyn’s approach to dating is totes amazeballs – politicalbetting.com
From the (hotly contested) Lucy Letby article: About two hours after the collapse of Child M, Letby sent texts reading: "Work has been shit but... I have just won £135 on Grand National!! [horse emoji]." So that's why some on PB rush to her defence. She's a gambler, like us! -
Re: Vichy 2.0 – politicalbetting.com
The commentary from Washington today has been astonishingly stupid. I think we will be looking at a large Democrat majority in the House, and it is even possible that the American people might vote for enough Democrat Senators to allow impeachment. What odds are being offered on Trump being forced from office? It is… -

He adopts all those positions with as much sincerity as the fox promises not to eat the occupants if he were put in charge of the henhouse. The fact is that Labour always wrecks the economy, always drives up unemployment, always boosts racist parties and latterly wrecks pensions and the City as well. What Butcher claims to… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Introducing the new Confident Corbyn
DH is right to spot the change. In part it is that the 2016 entry owe their seats to him, and a fair number of the older intake too, but it is foolish to neglect policy in this too. Jeremy has demonstrated that what was once seen as unelectable socialism can be electorally popular. It is not nessecary to always dress to… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Frank “Houdini” Field leads the fight against MP deselectio
Jezza is a loon, but I don't get the support for Osborne on the Tory side. He's a man promoted above his abilities because he's a mate of Dave. He comes over as smarmy, an identikit politician. His back story isn't great, he performs nearly as badly as Ed on TV and he has a tendency to smirk. He's been fortunate in having… -

Re: Can you handle two massive elections at the same time? – politicalbetting.com
Happy new year everyone. The main change for me in 2023 was moving to a situation where my family have two homes, a flat in the south east of the UK and an old wooden house in Finland. We have been travelling between the two. The total cost of all travel, including working one day a week in the office in London and flying… -
