Re: Next London Mayor betting – politicalbetting.com
Below 2.2 now but for today's 90 year olds it was around that figure when they had kids. However the point is that even if we do say split 10 ways then that's a deposit then that's great for those who get a deposit of that there's no doubt - but my point is that HYUFD has been saying all week that having a 10% deposit is… -
Re: Your afternoon watch – politicalbetting.com
And anyone who repeats those rumours will be banned, sorry but we have to protect OGH. A shadow minister has received an apology and a substantial sum from a prominent journalist over a tweet that falsely suggested she had a “secret adulterous relationship” with Sir Keir Starmer. Baroness Chapman (pictured), a shadow… -

Things kicking off in Ballymena https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/ckg4v04p008o There has been disorder in Ballymena after crowds gathered near the location of an alleged sexual assault in the town. Youths with their faces masked and wearing gloves could be seen throwing masonry. A police car had what appeared to be two… -
Re: Theresa May is right to slam Johnson and his ministers for maintaining travel bans – politicalbettin
Because I don't believe its the raison d'etre. I believe it is an excuse peddled to protect house prices because people believe inflating house prices is a good thing for themselves. There is a reason when the green belt was originally introduced to protect the countryside it was a fraction of its current size. The green… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » WH2020: Latest polling from Biden’s three must win states
No it won't. Housing Benefit which pays all or part of the rents of 4.6 million of the least wealthy households people costs £22 billion a year, of which believe approx 60%+ is for Social Sector and 40%- is for Private Sector. Roughly. At most you could save a small fraction of that. And note that downward pressure has… -
Re: Undefined discussion subject.
Indeed. Since 2009 we have been engaged in an unprecedented experiment in exotic monetary policy namely ultra low interest rates. This has caused two gigantic asset bubbles: one that 99% of people understand- housing, one that 95% don't even know exists- bond prices. The former is inflating house prices the other the cost… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » A big 36 hours ahead in the race to Number 10
When he says savings rates I think he means the amount of saving, rather than the interest. And, yes, I suppose this is right (although since a house purchase is a transfer between individuals, it depends on what happens to the capital gain for the seller). My guess is that the principle consequence has been to push up our… -
Re: Your regular reminder national vote share doesn’t always matter under FPTP – politicalbetting.com
OT. For the last three nights there has been a black guy aged about 25 sleeping on a bench in a square outside my house here in Villefranche. It's quite cold at night and I've been feeling progressively worse about sleeping in a comfortable bed while he's sleeping out in the open with just a coat on. It's very unusual to… -

Couldn't make it up... Labour Councillor Michael Situ, Southwark’s Cabinet Member for Housing who decided not to take any action against Rachel Reeves, has himself been forced to resign after being caught committing the same landlord licence ‘blunder’ https://x.com/joerichlaw/status/1990120898121158843?s=20 -
Re: After two by-election flops the Tories should blame their own complacency – politicalbetting.com
Lockdown has been much easier on certain psychological types, as well. It’s not just having a garden, big house, age, and so on For introverts (probably the majority on PB?) lockdown has been almost a blessing. No pressure to socialise, no stigma about staying in, the geek shall inherit the earth In much more of an… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Facts and fantasies about public ownership. Don Brind looks at
No trains before 11 on Sunday. Last train before 9 on Saturday. How is that for the passengers benefit? Impossible to work in Newcastle at weekends if you use public transport. No buses on Sunday morning either. Come travel my local line for modern rolling stock. Broadband patchy at best. Mobile coverage intermittent away… -

Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » New Ipsos-MORI polling finds voters have become more positive
I'm sorry, but that's simply not true. Real terms house price growth was strongest in the 1980s, when net immigration to the UK was flat to negative. Immigration went decisively positive in the first half of the 1990s, when house prices collapsed. I've produced a scatter chart for a report I'm writing, which goes all the… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Under single constituency first past the post system nation
The Mansion Tax lacked any equitable basis under the LibDems - and I said so then. The Labour proposal is just as bad. It punishes the aspirational who borrow massively to buy into a dream location. Somebody with 250k equity can be caught by the tax whereas someone with 1.75m equity may pay nothing. It punishes those who… -
Re: The Tories still favorite to win most General Election seats – politicalbetting.com
One difference is that right to buy has been abolished up here, so they remain in the public housing sector. This doesn't logically affect the issue of whether new council houses should be reasonably decent, of course, but it must have some sort of psychological connexion ... -

Actually my son retained his home when he and his now wife started their relationship 14 years ago and has been renting it However, he has jut sold it to a first time buyer, not the tenant or for another buy to let I think the combination of higher interest rates, the threat of rent freezes, and the requirement for rental… -

A shame then that so much of the stock has already been punted. I know, let's use the magic government money tree to build council houses, flog them off and use the money to build more council houses! ©Ruth Davidson -
Re: Game over, man – politicalbetting.com
Brazenly lying to Westminster about Partygate was the point of no return. There are certain naughty games you can play around the edges, but there has been a convention that coming to the House means you are telling it straight. It may only be a convention, but it is one which has the power to destroy careers. As we are… -
