Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » There are four Brexit options and Remain is the least likely
A good piece Mr Herdson, and indeed the prospect of no deal should (and has!) focused minds of our MPs. I do raise a minor objection to your section on remain - laws can be amended simply and quickly. Once the government has lost the confidence of the house there are mechanisms for a simple one line revocation of the… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Now is the time to tackle party funding reform
OT This social housing stat has really surprised me - its huge. It'll give evidence to those who feel disadvantaged by immigration "Nearly half a million immigrants have been given taxpayer-funded homes over the past decade. The revelation comes as the number of families on the waiting list for social housing hits a record… -
Re: Bad news for backers of the second coming of Truss – politicalbetting.com
The clerk said no such thing. He wrote to Hoyle stating that his actions "represent a departure from the long-established convention" He then notes that: a) Your decision is not specifically precluded by any Standing Order; b) The Speaker and his Deputies have complete discretion regarding the order in which to call… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » It was a big CON to LAB Remain voter swing that cost the Torie
And this was the case despite Brexit being the explicit reason for calling it. It's logical to conclude that the public does not see completing Brexit as a pressing concern. These are May's words: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-39630009 "At this moment of enormous national significance there should be unity here in… -

I will extend pub opening hours so they are 24/7,. except that all pubs must close at 8pm for 37 minutes, as this is when the King traditionally has an extended wank in the chapel royal by the Savoy Hotel, and it has long been deemed unseemly for his subjects to imbibe intoxicants even as the monarch is "knocking one out"… -
Re: Truss now favourite to be PM after next election – politicalbetting.com
Management consultancy... boring as hell but the main problem is clients are very geographically distributed at the moment. Being unable to say, dial in to a teams call for the company in the US that has been paying my wages the last couple of months because of a 48 hour blackout would potentially ruin the relationship and… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Local By-Election Preview : June 6th 2013
@tim So your powerful ammunition consists of telling us that the wonderful machine that was the state in the 1970s has been rolled back? "Interesting that, excluding pensions, contributory benefits have gone down from a peak of 21% of total benefit spend in 1971 to 5% in 2012. Late 1970s: 80% of housing spend =… -

Re: The trend should worry Nigel Farage – politicalbetting.com
Too funny not to share: There is a bizarre controversy out of the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit, where a federal judge has been reprimanded for engaging in repeated, loud sexual encounters during office hours in chambers with a police officer.

Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » The latest Jeremy Hunt betting
Judging from accounts in PPRune and elsewhere concerning what the UK has been doing in Iraq vs ISIS, the plan is to use air power for CAS, with some targeting of leadership. That is, most of the strikes will be in concert with locals on the ground making a push. The war is largely house to house/trench to trench. In such a… -

Re: PB Predictions Competition 2025 – The Entries – politicalbetting.com
… I’m glad this has been picked up on. Frankly I’m fed up with the amount of minority friends and women whose houses have burnt down whilst firemen just sat there watching it, wolf whistling or shouting racist abuse as houses turned to ash. People might have noticed that the fire brigade brutally snubbed the Village People… -

Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Betfair punters make it about an evens chance that TMay will b
Excluding ill-health, I think the only way that Mrs May will cease to be PM next year is if she loses a leadership confidence motion from Tory MPs. In that unlikely event the Tory Government will also lose a vote of confidence in the House because no Tory successor will be acceptable to a majority of the House. My scenario… -

Yes, and doing so would provide a counter-cyclical support for the building trades, which would prevent the loss of productive capacity during lean times.
