Re: Only 37% of 2024 Tories think Badenoch would make the best PM – politicalbetting.com
He fucked up. 10 years ago. Does that mean his career should be terminated? Or does it mean that he’s in the penalty box until he’s reproved himself? -
Re: The government sinks to a new low yet still leads the Tories who remain in third place
Well if you wanted to buy a pint in Southwold you are going thirsty. All pubs are Adnams and they won't take cash. 99% seems reasonable. We only pay cash for 2 things - my haircut and dog grooming. So easily hundreds of payments electronically for each cash payment. And you have to wonder why those two don't allow… -

You may as well say they have both gone the full Professor Sir Robert Winston - https://youtu.be/pFHVV_GcykI?si=oX_ftZpgr9Jt66sk. -
Re: Standing shoulder to shoulder with Trump might not be very popular – politicalbetting.com
Wuhan studied bat viruses long before there was any connection with the US DoH. So, sure, it's possible that it was Gain of Function work that escaped. But it's also perfectly possible that it was any one of a hundred other routes from the lab to the wet market. -
Re: The great switch off – politicalbetting.com
We need our small start ups to be developed long term to become global leaders in their fields. I like the idea of pension funds being able to be long term investors in those types of companies. I appreciate that that may not be how the detailed policy turns out, but I am going to give it a chance until I've seen more… -

7.5 miles around Darlington? Let's hope they don't come to any Yarm. -
Re: PB Predictions Competition 2025 – politicalbetting.com
I hate to disagree with you, but that was one of the good things he did as Trump 45, and I'm pleased to see it back. We forget the importance of beauty. -
Re: Is Nigel Farage right? – politicalbetting.com
If he were being purely tactical, rather than ideological, then the arrival of Trump/Musk combined with the ongoing detoxification efforts of Le Pen and Meloni give him a once in a lifetime opportunity to reinvent himself as the cuddly moderate version of right wing populism and eat up the Tories simply by staying still… -
Re: So it begins. The elephant in the 2028 presidential election room – politicalbetting.com
Someone on the previous thread made the jibe that the average farming income is £22k. They did not mention that that is for a 70 hour week with NO paid holidays - you have to pay someone to cover if you go away. By the standards of being on call as per Local Goverment it is a 168 hours on call business. Even when I was in… -

Isn’t it SO windy they’ve had to immobilise half the windmills due to safety? -
Re: Kemi Badenoch is 100% right on this – politicalbetting.com
We were the same. Our forecast indicated it would get really bad from about 10am today but at 3am it was absolutely wild. Even woke my wife up who can usually sleep through pretty much anything. -
Re: What’s this polling going to look like by the end of Trump’s second term? – politicalbetting.com
You are mistaken. If you had said invest in Crypto I probably would have scoffed - and now would be tucking into humble pie. I wouldn't have said not to invest in tech then - and I wouldn't say not to now, but with the massive caveat that it would just be part of a portfolio of shares, and I'd be happy to be a little… -
Re: Breaking her word – politicalbetting.com
Aw bless. The Grauniad and the Times pretending they're worried about it, instead of being staffed by, and sold to, products of it. Aren't they sweet... >:) -
Re: Some optimism for the Tories in the latest YouGov poll – politicalbetting.com
Probably if the population was asked would Farage manage it better it would be 60-40 for Reform Mind you it is all pretty pointless for despite the best efforts of the Daily Mail Labour are in power till 2028/9 at the earliest., probably be longer. -
Re: Well, he went a little funny in the head. You know. Just a little funny. – politicalbetting.com
Syed might have made a more interesting case that Europe has been freeloading on American research and development. Defence is cliched, especially since he ignores both the special sensitivities around Germany, and proposals for an EU army. Even at home, Britain has decimated its armed forces, used creative accounting to… -
Re: Let us talk about gender and politics – politicalbetting.com
I would have voted, with reservations, in favour at second reading, in the hope that its faults could have been rectified in committee. That seems highly unlikely now and I'd be voting against at Report and Third Reading. Not that my opinion matters - but those of MPs who felt similarly at Second Reading does. And given… -

Re: How long will Trump last today? – politicalbetting.com
A good example of this is Savile. Photos of him today look very creepy but previously the same photos just looked silly and ridiculous.
