Re: The voters back Sunak’s decision to sack Braverman including Tory voters – politicalbetting.com
That depends entirely on whether the EU decisions are rational, of course. If we are talking their chemical regulations brought in a few years ago, some of it was loopy. Whether Rishi and the Gang can do better ... remains to be seen. -
Re: Huge blow for Sunak as Supreme Court flings out his Rwanda plan – politicalbetting.com
Streeting’s ambition has forced him to remain loyal, but he’s under huge local pressure given the demographics of his seat. -
Re: Have a good cry Argentina, you have earned it – politicalbetting.com
From my perspective as a righty type, it's like the man is a raving schizophrenic. One moment he's doing stuff to make sure I never vote Tory again. Next he's busy trying to woo me with hints that he understands reality on things like net zero. Then he appoints "hug a huskie" Cameron. I've literally no idea either what he… -
Re: What are Ministers for? – politicalbetting.com
"The comparison with the Holocaust is offensive" No, because it is exactly the same sort of think. Have you seen Galloways take on all of this? It's exactly what Holocaust deniers do; they throw shade on the numbers, on what happened, and make the victims out to be, at best, non-victims, and at worst, the perpetrators. See… -
Re: Can Cameron make Sunak’s election challenge any easier – politicalbetting.com
That's quite a crass comparison. I don't for one moment believe they 'deliberately' ran her over; those beasts are rather lumbering and have quite poor views (even in a 'normal', unarmoured bulldozer). She put herself into danger, thinking Arthur Dent had a good idea. It shouldn't have happened, but you don't much about… -
Re: LAB moves to an even stronger favourite to win overall majority – politicalbetting.com
Me? No. Honestly. The person has to be held accountable to the House, but this can be done via Select Committee and appointing a MP to shadow them. The PM forms a Government for the Monarch and it's only party politics that makes them appoint a MP. As long as the person can be made a Privy Councillor and can pass the… -

Re: Braverman sacked – politicalbetting.com
Quite so. It's been very successfully newsworthy, but implies even more difficulties. -
Re: Fewer than half of Tory voters want Sunak to keep Braverman as Home Secretary – politicalbetting.com
And yet the London Eye is now a global icon, and attracts people from across the world, and the Shard is up there Paris has not anything like that from the last 30 years. Its last major new monument that achieved renown is the Louvre Pyramid from 1989, and even that is just an entrance lobby to a museum (albeit striking… -

She was lucky he only does a couple of our degree ceremonies each summer out of usually fourteen plus. He is nice enough, although his handlers like to keep him busy. -
Re: Can 7 times elections failure Farage really be CON leader? – politicalbetting.com
The speculation that Nigel Farage might become Leader of the Conservative Party calls to mind one of Groucho Marx's quips: "I wouldn't join any club that would have me as a member." -

Hmmmm. I think that's an optimistic interpretation of what they say: Hamas believes that no part of the land of Palestine shall be compromised or conceded, irrespective of the causes, the circumstances and the pressures and no matter how long the occupation lasts. Hamas rejects any alternative to the full and complete… -

@FrankBooth If I was to give an example to prove that the culture war isn't American or non-British, I wouldn't pick ARC. ARC is distinctly international: see https://www.arcforum.com/advisory-board (Parenthetically this feeds into my conviction that we have internationalised our thought, to the detriment of the British…
