Starmer has tied himself to the fate of Mandelson. Pillock @Steven_Swinford Did Keir Starmer know about the emails between Lord Mandelson and Jeffrey Epstein when he was appointed?

Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » The latest round of Lord Ashcroft’s marginals’ polling find
Haha oh, chicken licken. Oddly, I too feel the next election is vital. This Government has done more to wreck the fabric of our society than any other apart from Thatcher.

Re: YouGov CON member’s poll has Truss extending lead – politicalbetting.com
Have to say my GP's are stunning compared to what I read day in day out about elsewhere.

Re: Tory members are revolting – politicalbetting.com
Indeed, we had this discussion with @Richard_Nabavi when he falsely claimed the 1990s was a bad time to be a First Time Buyer following the house price falls, when the facts and figures show the polar opposite - we had record FTBs in the early to mid 90s and its been falling ever since. Increasing house prices aids those… -
Re: Turnout betting – politicalbetting.com
What we have in Britain is a lot of under occupancy rather than a lot of empty houses. Second homes, but also of people like me and Mrs Foxy having a 4 bed house where the spare room has been used for one weekend since Christmas. Partly it is lifestyle, partly savings in residential form, but largely that the running costs… -

Re: LAB increasing its lead in the “Red Wall” – politicalbetting.com
Cutting inflation doesn't reduce prices, it means prices remain high and continue to rise at a slower rate. Cutting immigration wouldn't mean we'd need fewer houses, it'd mean we'd still having a housing shortage and we'd continue to need even more houses per annum but at a lower rate. Though you have failed to understand… -

Attlee and Wislon were longer ago than the 35 years I gave. The metropolitan liberal north London public-sector quangocrats that make up the PLP today have nothing to say to the voters who elected Wislon four times, mainly because the PLP despises them, the white-van-driving England-flag-waving oiks. The only reason there… -

Re: Why the local elections could bring some temporary respite to Sunak – politicalbetting.com
Someone just mentioned a stat to me which is entirely random but quite thought provoking In 1953 the average house cost 150 ounces of gold Today the average house would cost you 166 ounces. In the last 70 years - measured in gold - prices are up only 10% Perhaps the issue isn’t that house prices are too high - or that… -

Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » The CON European leader is in UKIP’s sights
No, tim! Nominal pay has increased. With very few postcode excpetions, house prices have fallen in nominal values. Real pay has fallen but real house prices have fallen much further.

Brexit does not look like happening in any meaningful sense until the other side of the next election given that whatever Customs deal we end up doing with the EU will not be implemented until the mid-2020s at the earliest.
