Prescient view on what local is! Leeds? Bradford! Beeston? Or Ilkeston, that really is foreign!! However, what is your view. What will you tell your prospective constituents. Social housing should go first to the third world family just moved to the UK with 5 children or the young couple whose family has been in Notts for… -
Re: The polling’s clear – a switch to Johnson is NOT the answer for the Tories – politicalbetting.com
Just eyeballing on Google maps you could get 800 terraced houses in that Tottenham industrial area, if you did what @Gardenwalker has suggested and build 4 storey townhouses you could double up to 1600 units across 800 houses all with garden access, near overground stations, in zone three, walking distance to a busy high… -

@surbiton Sorry, Surbs, I missed your reply on first run through the thread. You only really benefit if your properties increase in real terms and there is no opportunity cost. By opportunity cost I mean the difference between the increase in value of, say, your second home including any rental income, and, the returns you… -

Re: The stop the war coalition is growing – politicalbetting.com
How can the Tories attack Labour with a straight face when in 14 years to July 2024 they reduced defence spending by 22%,hollowed out all Services, recruitment, procurement. To compound this they let Armed Forces Housing to rot, allowed veterans to rot. Never in British history has so much wilful damage been done to our… -
Re: The next game changer? – politicalbetting.com
FPT: Nope - not full Planning. Planning Permission has not been required for retail to residential conversions since 2021, and before then it was only Change of Use and Building Regs, which was not onerous. I should know - I looked at a project around 2017 for my own family's rental shop, but mum popped her clogs first so… -

Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Liz Kendall: The 2015 LAB version of what Ken Clarke was fo
I could never see what the supposed popularity of Kenneth Clarke MP was all about. As a minister I found him "fair to middling" at best. As Chancellor he did preside over a return to grown in the mid 90's but that had more to do with leaving the ERM than anything he did. Personality wise, I've always found him bumptious,… -
Re: Marf delivers her take on the Trump/Putin phone call – politicalbetting.com
What’s interesting about this story is that net household debt has been falling since 2009 and now at levels below historical averages, while government debt has been rising. So on macro figures we are saving too much. But that probably hides a huge difference between those with mortgage free houses, pensions and decent… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Because CON members are overwhelmingly for LEAVE doesn’t me
This is a point which has been discussed many times, and I think what you say is true - to a point. If you have expensive house with large debts against them, then you have a lot of leverage. If prices are firm, that's terrific. If prices were ever to significantly negatively adjust, you would have a serious problem.… -

Re: It seems difficult to see how the Tories win with the country feeling like this
The other difference- there was at least some evidence of a way out in 2010. Only a nitwit would say that there was no wasteful spending to cut in 2008-10-12, or that capital assets couldn't be sweated harder for a year or three. (I'm sure that there were people saying both of those things at the time, but they were… -

Yes, Conservative party housing policy has been drawn from the same playbook (a somewhat Blairite one, I think) as Labour policy - to push it and pull a little here, a little there. None of which has really worked. At least housing starts are rising, if not by nearly enough... -

Absolutely right about the first part. She was the greatest PM of my lifetime too. Absolutely wrong about the second part.

Re: How many Reform MPs on the 31st of December 2025? – politicalbetting.com
It's crap because the early 20s hyperinflation had nothing whatever to do with the Great Depression or the rise of the Nazis. In fact the Nazis scored insignificant shares of the vote in the two national elections immediately after the hyperinflation, then they took off during the Great Depression. The reason the Krauts… -
