Re: A little bit of history repeating? – politicalbetting.com
I was in a meeting with Shell in The Hague. A really tense negotiation. Their team kept disappearing out for twenty minutes, came back in, said nothing, carried on. This happened several times. Eventually, I got a call from the London office. "Well, we've managed to get you a hotel for the next couple of nights, but no… -
Re: Has Sunak buggered up the boundary changes? – politicalbetting.com
It's correct, in terms of what it contains. There is one issue. Why is release of the hostages last, not first? If the hostages are released then Israel has no grounds to invade Gaza. That leads to the ceasefire. Then the crossings can be reopened and aid sent in. Finally, it can cause the political changes in Israel and… -
Re: By wins for LAB in the byelections – politicalbetting.com
Hamas is a legitimate political actor in the region whether western moralists like it or not. It is wrong to consider it a monolithic and coherent organisation with perfect command and control over everything that happens in Gaza. It's more like a series of concentric structures with the Shura Council at the centre and… -

When Willey is out, England's massive cockup will be completely exposed. To be fair, though, it is already. This is more pathetic than Cummings' excuses for breaking lockdown. -
Re: Just look at that Tory voters score – politicalbetting.com
Any very large organisation can fall prey to this - it ends up tying itself up in knots on policy, procedure and compliance and essentially ends up serving itself, not others. -
Re: We need a new Green Policy – Part 1 – politicalbetting.com
Unfortunately, Israel won't get much credit if they limit civilian casualties to several thousand as opposed to tens of thousands. They'll be criticised heavily regardless. But that's war. Nothing pretty about it. -

Re: Now the knives are out for Hun – politicalbetting.com
Ok. You asked I have visited Israel maybe six or seven times over four decades. The earliest in the 1980s. The most recent a year or two before Covid. I have stayed in the Negev desert on a fundamentalist farm. I have dined with Israeli ministers. I have been to swingers clubs in tel aviv. I have stayed in the best suite… -

Interesting, thanks! If Bullrich endorses Milei (I've seen it suggested that this may happen) then Milei may still get there. https://www.batimes.com.ar/news/argentina/massa-v-milei-what-happens-to-bullrichs-votes-in-the-run-off.phtml -
Re: Make the Nation happy again – switch off social media – politicalbetting.com
We should simply raise the regulatory temperature to undermine their business models. How about for a start that (just like banks) every account they have - they know who owns it. KYC for SM. When it suits their business model (AirBnB) they can do this and enforce it. -
Re: Sunak is no real improvement on Truss – politicalbetting.com
One of the very few, was from Michael Moore back in 2016. https://youtube.com/watch?v=vMm5HfxNXY4 - Warning, he uses a few F-words. Basically, it started with the hollowing out of the middle class and the offshoring of manufacturing with little social safety net, not helped by initiatives aimed at helping “minorities”… -
