Re: My 250/1 Sunak bet looking even more like a winner – politicalbetting.com
The flaws of the constitution have been obvious for decades. But they fundamentally do not extend far beyond the difficulty of amendment. I've noted it many times before - but the Equal Rights Amendment to the constitution, which would explicitly have granted women equal rights as citizens, was passed by two thirds… -

Births falling in Scotland for 60 years... And its been remarkably consistent. 104k births in 1964 Deaths have been broadly level for last 50 years. 50 - 65k per year. This shouldn't be a surprise to anyone who has been to Scotlands main belt. Poor people, born in poor housing, who smoke, drink and have a poor diet without… -
Re: The situation has developed not necessarily to Kemi Badenoch’s advantage – politicalbetting.com
On topic. No. Staunton has been telling the world he was told to hold up spending so the Post Office could “limp” into the election, but his note actually says “hobble” - so he has misremembered what was said. Anyway, this bluster about Staunton is just chaff from Badenoch. Starmer should open PMQs with what Canada has… -
Re: Size isn’t important, it’s what you do with it that counts, just ask Jeremy Corbyn
Just some counter-points: 1) The employment rate is very nearly the highest it has ever been (16-64), so whatever effect high effective marginal tax rates isn't showing up there 2) The proportion of those in work who are on full-time hours has increased significantly since 2010 - so again, no evidence the tax/benefit… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » NEW Bonus PB/Polling Matters podcast: Reviewing the weekend’s
In my opinion, going hard on the garden tax would be a huge error as the come back would be, 'people can't get a house under the Tories and not a hope of a house with a garden'. it would play very badly with the 'just about managing'. There is a video doing the rounds which has been produced by some policemen, it is… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Theresa May has finally united the country on Brexit
Yes true , I live in York Outer . My neighbours have extended the house twice, as their sons , both working in their mid twenties are still living there. Labour posters in both their bedrooms at last GE. York central has been Labour since 1992, but the spread to the suburbs of York, surprised me. As even Blair did no good… -

We have immigration that is both uncontrolled and unprepared for. Even worse that governments far from putting in place the necessary housing, infrastructure, public services etc have instead repeatedly lied about the scale of immigration. Consequences have included downward pressure on wages and upward pressure on housing… -
Re: Parliament must return in person and permanently – politicalbetting.com
Interesting. The sense that the weather has been seriously shit for a long time is not an illusion. Just found this comment from a weather boffin on a weather boffin forum "Look at Heathrow's sunshine hours since September 2020, the last time we had a sunny month. These are the corrected values, not the raw ones. * values… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » For those CON supporters fearful that Mr. Corbyn might not
Redwood has been a cabinet minister. Boris has been Mayor of London. Corbyn has been Chairman of Islington Housing Committee. It's also worth pointing out, for all their public persona, in their particular fields - economics (Redwood) and publicity (Boris) they are recognised experts and actually really good at what they… -

Re: The Challenge for… Reform UK – politicalbetting.com
The PM needs to sack Hermer, his "legal" advice has always been nothing more than his own opinion dressed up in legalism. It's lawfare from within the cabinet. Starmer needs to clean house or he will take Labour to it's worst ever drubbing, to the extent that they will never be in power again. -

Re: Polling update for first half of August – politicalbetting.com
A 'Taliban' that cared about insular domestic issues in charge of Saudi could be better for the west than the House of Saud. The House of Saud in Saudi have spent decades exporting Wahhabism. They are our worst enemy in the world when it comes to the funding of extremist Islam. The growth of extremist Islam around the… -

2016 has been a year of change for me. During the Christmas break last year we decided that we wanted to move closer to my inlaws. I was able to move to a different office, we put our house on the market and had a buyer within a week and bought a new house here in the rural West Riding. So change, but positive change.… -

Yes - that's precisely what it was. Over the last 50 years, there've been more than a dozen votes lost by the government on its Finance Bill of the day, some quite serious (the Tories forced a cut in the basic rate of Income Tax on Callaghan's government). The Budgets themselves carried the House though. Wikipedia has a… -

An interesting possible straw in the wind. One of Trump co-conspirators in trying to corrupt the 2021 Election, Tina Peters, is in prison for 9 years on State Charges - not pardonable by the President. Trump has been threatening Colorado with cancelling funding, as he does, and was told to p*ss off. He cancelled funding…
