Re: The Indy publishes LD data suggesting that Chesham & Amersham could be competitive – politicalbettin
Nimbys raise there head again. The MP questioning the need of East West Rail because of the pandemic , is just trying to find an excuse to cancel the final phase of the scheme for linking Oxford to Cambridge. The first two phases involve refurbishing/rebuilding the original route. They cant do that for the bit between… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » CON might have big leads with all voters on best PM and ec
One of the most insightful things Nick Palmer has ever said - which stuck with me, because it's true - is that most Tory MPs have little to no real knowledge of what it's like to live on the poverty line, because most have never been there. There are of course a few exceptions. Of course, you could say that about plenty of… -
Re: The LDs claim to be just 2% behind in Tiverton & Honiton – politicalbetting.com
He may well be but there has been little coverage of the attempt. Certainly far less from the national press than you would have expected if it was a Justice of the left. I disagree with your main point though. Kavanaugh’s been targeted because he is seen as the one most likely to bend to pressure. It’s why his wife has… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Ipsos-MORI finds that more electors might tactically vote
Labour manifesto Part 3 Tackle poverty and inequality Eradicate in work poverty in their first term – that’s a big big promise. Ministry of employment rights – for gods sake, political parties, not everything is made better by creating a new cabinet level post. I’m also talking to you DEXEU Paternity leave offer is lower… -
Re: READING THE TEA LEAVES: A LOOK AT NORTH CAROLINA EARLY VOTING – politicalbetting.com
Prior to my current job I worked for 14 years in a Homeless Persons Unit for a Local Authority. I moved on when New Labour came to power because they said one thing in public but instructed you to do another, the Housing Act 1998 being the prime example. I have also been to prison for 3 months (for something I did not do).… -
Re: US YouGov poll finds 36% of Americans saying the Royal Family is racist – just 19% say they aren’t –
Creasey said: “It feels pretty galling that you have individuals who are millionaires and a billionaire club driving past your front door every day while you sit there in a worthless fire trap.” Companies owned by Arsenal FC’s parent firm Arsenal Holdings Limited are the named freeholders of both sites.

The Benn Act will be satisfied (not redundant) if: "United Kingdom has concluded an agreement with the European Union under Article 50(2) of the Treaty on European Union and... the agreement has been approved by resolution of the House of Commons on a motion moved by a Minister of the Crown..." But if the deal does not get… -
Re: MRP benchmarks and assorted thoughts – politicalbetting.com
It's a good point - I've not seen much local TV news myself, but hearing from friends who have it sounds like Hall has mostly been talking about housing and crime to the traditional media. The ULEZ / racist stuff has been confined to the micro-targetted Facebook campaign - if you're not a boomer or actively follow… -
Re: The View from South Africa – politicalbetting.com
It has to, it really must. It is not just the disparity between the have's and have not's, it is people in work, sometimes doing more than one job and with children, stuck in temporary accomodation for years as they cannot get somewhere to live. It is disgraceful this has been allowed to happen. The same rich arseholes are… -

@TOPPING (fpt) "Let me help. Most of them - units dealing with elderly patients - are fucking useless. Because actually, they don't really care whether the elderly patient survives or not. Not really. Of course there are individuals who are great in the NHS but institutionally perhaps because there is precious little… -
Re: Houston, we have a problem – politicalbetting.com
No, the house building commitment has not been dropped. It's all still there in full detail and will very obviously be there in the manifesto, including a commitment to release "grey belt" land. I think you are reading far too much into a short term pledge card of what are no more than 6 soundbites designed for instant… -

Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Labour’s Brighton exuberance over Corbyn isn’t supported by hi
That "getting help with deposits" simple drives the prices up: if you subsidise demand of a good with inelastic supply the prices rise and the more you "help" the worse it gets. That single policy (help-to-buy) has been the single greatest driver of house price inflation since about 2013. From 2010 to 2013 E&W house prices… -

I'm sure it's been mentioned before, but it was the Hindu Tamils who invented suicide bombing. And modern terrorism was (arguably) invented by Irgun. Nevertheless, in recent years, it's fair to say that the most popular brand of terrorism is Islamic fundamentalism related. I would note that one of the major reasons why… -

Re: We need a new Green Policy – Part 1 – politicalbetting.com
I see no rationale for a discount - home owners are relatively well off and do not need free money. The UK Govt attitude, which I think is correct, has been to offer incentives where the market and actual cost / benefit cannot meet the need, or on condition of fabric improvements as applied to solar FIT and now applies far… -

People are now circling the elephant in the room. One of the final acts that resulted in Brexit was Merkel's unilateral decision to invite all and sundry ( not just refugees) to Germany. She never consulted with the other leaders particularly the leaders of the countries through which these people would transit. She never…
