Re: Political betting can get you into serious trouble – politicalbetting.com
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. You can, if you don't like one valuers results, ask for another opinion, but likelihood is any competent agent would come up with a figure not too far out… -
Re: How the LDs are using their by-election victories – politicalbetting.com
A Since paying mortgages has been banned from expenses, the following arrangement is said to have occurred. Politician A buys a house in London. Rents it to politician B. Politician B buys a house in London. Rents it to politician A. Isn’t that lovely? Two happy families, cooperation, investment…. -

Re: A Tribute Act – politicalbetting.com
The header is right to question the comments about the 45% rate. It just makes no sense that the Cabinet not discuss it, and just plain weird she's already pretending she might not have been fully behind it, since it would be a stupid admission of ineptitude on her part as PM. The point about her wanting growth but not… -
Re: The Democrats are losing their enthusiasm – politicalbetting.com
I go part way with you but not all the way, We have come from a place where banks denied all responsibility whilst the system was insecure, and businesses forced customers to use bank transfer because it was cheap for them and saved costs for eg Debit or Credit cards, whilst the customer was left with no protection. The… -

NY Times must have said that through gritted teeth, given how they might not be pro-Trump but have been relentlessly anti-Biden. "“We are just stating the truth fully and plainly, but we are also doing that in a way that is unemotional. We are not anyone’s opposition and we’re not anyone’s lap dog,” Times publisher A. G.… -

Re: Home affairs – politicalbetting.com
Off topic, but important to anyone who likes elections: "For more than a decade and a half, autocracy has been steadily advancing around the globe.

That's interesting. But it says Barnsley is a little busier. Plenty of new stuff happening, and a major reno project has started recently right in the town centre.

Re: Some extraordinary “storming the Capitol” polling from YouGov US – politicalbetting.com
A note on the 25th, absent any other body to decide, which as has been noted can be enacted by Congress but never has been, it's not the Cabinet (which has no real formal existence in law) that decides but "the principal officers of the executive departments", i.e. the fourteen Secretaries of the Departments plus the… -
Re: Open thread – politicalbetting.com
OTOH house prices have gone up by something like 10% over the past year alone. Poor pensioners in rented accommodation will suffer disproportionately badly from this (just as the poor more generally will be squeezed hardest by the cost of living crisis, as they always are in these situations.) However, the large majority… -
Re: Chesham is the litmus test of how serious the Greens are as a party – politicalbetting.com
The last sentence interests me. So why are they so obsessive about big gallumphing interventions by Government, rather than more locally-based, flexible, and efficient, answers, driven by regulated markets? An example: I look at doing External Wall Insulation every so often, and I have yet to find a house where it is cost… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Labour can’t afford a Shadow Cabinet anchored to the past
One reason why it's unprecedented is that parliament has rarely had the opportunity to debate foreign policy matters of this importance before they took place. The fact is that Cameron rightly never made it a confidence matter. There is no evidence that his ministry has lost the confidence of the House and there is no… -

Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » David Herdson asks: Frack on or Frack off?
Hmm Labour would impose rent controls ‘without hesitation’ if it won the next election, its housing spokesman Jack Dromey has been secretly recorded saying. His admission came eight days after Labour’s biggest paymaster the Unite union called for the party to adopt controls on what private landlords can charge. It brought… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Reminder: There’ve been only 2 published LAB polls the late
I'm not a believer in God, or a great fan of the Monarchy. Nevertheless you feel you want to say 'God save the Queen' on a day like this. What an amazing reign she's had. Back to reality though. I can't quite make out why Corbyn isn't much shorter or much longer in terms of price. There must be some Labour insiders that…
