Politico.com - ‘It’s Not the Dog’: What’s Really Behind the White House Dog’s Biting Problem What Major’s biting episodes tell us about White House workplace stress, the need for calm leadership and why dogs don’t dig the furry baby talk.

Re: We seem to be heading for the most boring White House race ever – politicalbetting.com
The astonishing cost of infrastructure build in the UK versus any other European State might be down to the complete hollowing out of the capacity of the state sector over the course of the last forty years. When the civil service has to take advice about how it takes advice, then the only winners are the armies of… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Alastair Meels looks at the theory of referendum motivation
Morning all :) The GOP debate sounds about as bad as it could be for the GOP. Trump will likely win SC but not perhaps as convincingly as the polls suggest but the spectacle of an irritable group of candidates tearing lumps out of each other won't help the GOP overall in what has been a miserable 24 hours for them.… -
Re: I am prolier than thou – politicalbetting.com
A lot of chat on the last thread on Farage’s other half buying the house in Clacton and “how could she afford the mortgage”/“how could her parents afford the mortgage”. Slightly playing devil’s advocate it’s potentially very easy. She doesn’t have a mortgage.* this is all bollocks if he’s said she has a mortgage btw.… -
Re: As schools in England re-open CON members give EdSec Williamson a MINUS 44% rating – politicalbettin
I do believe that we need to remove amateurs from the rental market and let more pension firms build to rent. As for the idea of using under occupation (2 or more spare bedrooms) as the basis of anything beyond inappropriate use of housing stock I will leave things there especially as thanks to Covid those rooms are… -
Re: Tracking Covid – politicalbetting.com
Remember HYUFD. It has been decided that your intemperate posts on Scotland will now likely prevent you from seeking the nomination for the Parliamentary constituency of Much Crowing in Essex. They will come to light and cause disquiet & consternation in any election. However, a position in the House of Lords is still… -

Load the boats with women and children instead as business model? Surely the Homsec has war gamed that obvious one. It’s not been as good an hour for Patel as I thought it would. We can’t have the details, as it would help the gangs. The suspicion all around the house she don’t actually have detail that proves it actually… -

Re: BoJo would find it more challenging facing Angela Rayner – politicalbetting.com
There isn't much point in trying to enlighten people on here about this. Landlords have been conveniently identified as the whipping boy for all the ills of capitalism, an economic system that most people on here nonetheless seem to be winners in, when everything is considered in the round. It is really quite infantile… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » 2010 LDs are nearly twice as likely to be switching to LAB
A typically thoughtful response. As SO said there is little that a sensible Tory and a moderate social democrat would disagree with. The housing issue/bedroom tax is an interesting one. Clearly the long-term solution has to be (a) more social housing (and more appropriate designs) and (b) short term contracts - say 3-5… -

That doesn't make sense and suggests either the story is wrong or Ladbrokes are a bunch of idiots who aren't trying to make make money. All bookies throughout the multiverse adjust odds to reflect the money that has been staked, if they didn't then they would be gambling themselves and would sooner or later go bust. I used… -

The BBC3 being removed is the end of the world narrative has been pushed by all sorts of lefties for over a year now. I find it a bit weird tbh.

I fear you may be. Many of these problems would occur over ten years after completion. And even when they appear before that the housebuilders will do anything to prevent paying out. As an example: the house we used to rent has been lived in by the owners from when it was newly-built. The flying lounge got very cold… -

If he wasn't his grandson he wouldn't have such a high profile pulpit and might well never have become an MP either.

Re: The Mid Beds Independent who might be worth a punt – politicalbetting.com
In my neck of the woods most of the building has been done by Housing Associations who have indeed been quite innovative, utilising brown field and smaller sites than the traditional council housing schemes which tended to create deserts with very few services and problem neighbourhoods. This is, of course, being done with… -
Re: We need a new Green Policy – Part 2 – politicalbetting.com
This has been my argument for a long time. The marginal cost increase of a few thousand pounds will be nothing when you are paying £250K or more for a house. And there will be massive economies of scale if every house on a development is having them fitted as standard. -
Re: Undefined discussion subject.
(CNN): Where President Donald Trump decides to spend the final weeks of his presidency has become a matter of internal speculation as aides wonder whether he'll leave the White House for the holidays -- and never return.

Re: Some stark front pages this Saturday morning – politicalbetting.com
Just so I'm clear with this idea which presumably has already been considered and rejected by others. I put my house on the market for, let's say, £500k. On top of all the other costs the Seller has to bear, they also have to find another £25k as a "TST" (Truss Sales Tax). My buyer comes back and says they now can't afford…
