Re: It is looking like a Kamala Harris coronation – politicalbetting.com
And more on X. Something smells. Why would President Biden announce such a momentous and historic decision on a Sunday afternoon on a social media platform? The letter he posted was not written on White House stationary. And his signature appeared to be photoshopped. Also, Biden's signature was underlined and typically he… -

Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » After a year of edging down LAB is starting to move upwards
Over a certain threshold, yes. Obviously once it had been through an actual political process you'd have all kinds of silly exemptions, for example the UK would presumably have tax breaks for buying a house. That's how it works in Japan, with the stipulation that to get that tax break it has to be a reasonably new house,… -
Re: The Swinney slump continues – politicalbetting.com
The entire immigration issue, rather like those leviathans health and housing, is multi-layered, nuanced and impacts so many other areas of public policy-making yet it's been reduced down to boats and Rwanda which are peripheral in all honesty. The debate has so many starting points - what about the levels of legal… -
Re: A thing of the past – LAB leads of 20%+? – politicalbetting.com
Given that the existence of the labs has been acknowledged by the US, that the US sponsorship of them has been acknowledged by the US, that their housing of chemical and biological materials that could be used for weapons is has been acknowledged by the US, it would be interesting to know what part of the statement above… -
Re: Will George Galloway be purring tonight? – politicalbetting.com
So, water supply question, tagging @MattW as he seems to know about many things housing, but others may know too: We're on a shared water supply with Yorkshire Water. Eight houses on the pipe from the main that runs along the road. At times pressure is fine (when no one else is using) but at other times it's terrible, low… -

The problems with the government's proposals are fundamental, and are as follows: New Standing Order 83J would require the Speaker of the House of Commons to certify whether or not a Bill would fall within the legislative competence of the devolved assemblies. This is a complicated question of law, which can only be… -
Re: Punters give Johnson a 7% chance of being CON general election leader – politicalbetting.com
So Suella Braverman has been advising the President of Tunisia. Hours after Tunisia’s president ordered the expulsion of all illegal migrants, claiming they were bringing violent crime to his country, knife-wielding mobs gathered on the streets of the capital Tunis looking for black people. “That night about 40 people… -
Re: Latest WH2024 polling has Biden ahead of Trump but losing to Haley – politicalbetting.com
O/T right away, sorry.

They privately rent a 3-bed house and have just been told by the letting agent that their rent is going up… -

The BMA has published a summary of the recent negotiations, according to which four significant areas of disagreement remain. Three concern pay, in particular the definition of antisocial hours. The other is about safeguarding measures to ensure adherence to the new hours policy. Is this latter really irresolvable? Or is… -
Re: The new shy Tories? – politicalbetting.com
The Tories have been wrong about many things. However, to me, it's hard to point to anything the Tories were wrong about and say that Labour's proposals were better - and quute easy to find examples where Labour's proposals look worse. I still trust the Tories more than Labour on most things. The are where, for me, the… -
Re: Russia Today presenter Galloway now 11/4 to be beat LAB in Batley & Spen – politicalbetting.com
That has been shown to be false long ago. The ONS Date - English Housing Survey for one - show that rented property is occupied more densely than owner occupied, so you need more houses not fewer for the same number of people. Which would not reduce competition when there are more surplus people needing houses. And any… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Corporeal asks: Will the dog bark
ar RPI and CPI share the same base (e.g. the 'shopping basket' is identical. Admittedly, there are minor differences in the methods of calculation but these do produce material differences in the output. The main difference between the two is that RPI includes housing costs which are excluded from the basic CPI: : e.g.… -

Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Why I’m betting that Paul Nuttall will be the next party leade
Indeed. I moved in my road of 100 houses in 1997. Since then about 50 houses have been sold. Not one single British family has moved in. Mainly Europeans. To rent in our road is now £3k per month. Most are ex-pats or EU staff Our road is ordinary terrace street. Many Europeans are now saying they will leave London. I like… -

Re: Compulsory voting ID – A CON gift to LAB & the LDs? – politicalbetting.com
I don't follow. The objection is that it makes voting a bit more difficult, and won't have any effect on dodgy votes which are extremely rare in person in polling stations. Your idiotic suggestion that the people who object (see below) are objecting because they think they are currently benefiting from personation in…
