Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » The Tory bullying scandal claims the scalp of ex-party chai
Thanks but all the same you think. .....it really was and is a tragic utter waste of a good person and life that will have implications long after for his family. The one thing that has struck me here tonight is there is perhaps a dozen people posting at the moment and all of us in one form or another have either directly… -
Re: By generation how party support has shifted since GE2019 – politicalbetting.com
Finally getting there with isulation levels within building regs. Our extension has been a similar revelation - underfloor heating that fires up early morning and rarely comes on again during the day. On clothes drying, if you have a small room where you can place an airing horse, a portable dehumifier works wonders. We… -
Re: The Swinney slump continues – politicalbetting.com
Durham is a really interesting one. I think someone who posts here regularly lives there? So may be able to tell us more. But as I understand it, the university is the same size as the town, i.e. it goes from 20,000 locals to 40,000 people in term time, doubling in size compared to the number of students. And the uni has… -

The reactions in the house next week should emphasize just how partisan and biased he has been as a speaker. The silence on one side versus enthusiastic praise on the other is not a sign of competence in someone whose role should be executed as an impartial arbiter. He has been terrible but fortunately there is an… -

A friend is going through the process of becoming a Danish citizen. Which he likens to taking a Masters in being Danish. Among other things, he has to learn colloquial, fluent, conversational Danish. Refugees who live in housing estates designated as "parallel societies" - that is where more than 50% of residents are from… -

Taking a long view there have been two post war 'step change' falls in housing delivery. One after the late 1970s when we stopped building Council housing and the second coming out of the late 80s/early 90s recession. The latter was after Ridley got duffed up by the shires and the 'Plan Led' system was strengthened. In the… -

It has always been acceptable for politicians to correct the record to the house, Keir Starmer had to the other day after he "accidentally misled" the House; it is deliberately misleading that is against the rules. -

I take the best part of the day to enjoy the bank holiday sun and return to find tim has been raining on the PB parade.

Re: Why Tory Remain seats could be a struggle for BoJo – politicalbetting.com
It would be nice if people had been addressing the real hazards of inflation that have really existed for years. Instead inflation has been celebrated as 'prosperity' instead of costs going up for years. I've long been criticising this. From 1999 to 2020 wages have gone up by 2.8% compound growth in the UK From 1999 to… -
Re: Upending assumptions – politicalbetting.com
Everything in Britain is shit. An entire country has been enshittified, and modern British housing is right at the cutting edge of that.

A great example of how Gavin Newsom is as unsuitable as Kamala Harris was as a presidential candidate.

Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » What’s wrong with this picture?
Put simply, we stopped Capitalism and replaced it with Bankism. Capitalism is simple. Hire people to make products/services and sell them for a profit. Reinvest the profits to expand and sell more things for more profits. This has collapsed in two basic areas. The first being that to sell your stuff you need a market of… -
Re: How will Boris be judged in future polling questions like this? – politicalbetting.com
Really? I'm surprised by that. In five years, our house has gone up by 40% (not just valuations - what we bought it for compared to what we've been offered for it two weeks ago). Inflation would have put it up 13% over that time, so real terms increase of 25% or so. We've also spent maybe towards 10% of the purchase price… -
Re: Undefined discussion subject.
Osborne's economic strategy has been nothing but 'borrow and bribe'. Which is why his proclaimed 'March of the Makers' has been a march in reverse, borrowing is way beyond his predictions, productivity has been stagnant and the UK current account defiit is at record levels. Still house prices are up. Even if home ownership… -

It'll be valued purely on agricultural purposes by a land agent, even if planning permission has been outlined unless there are houses there, or started being built.
