Re: This looks good the LAB and Starmer – politicalbetting.com
That a Tory MP called for this is despicable. That person has no right to call themselves a Conservative, hope the voters register their rightful disgust come the election. -
Re: The London Mayoral race is getting very tight – politicalbetting.com
Christ Almighty! The Human Rights Act 1988 does exactly that. It incorporates the ECHR into British law and British judges rule on it. Those who think that that will be fine if the U.K. withdraws from the Convention are being, in Lenin's wonderful phrase, "useful idiots". And, yes, I include Sumption in this. He may be… -
Re: The terrible ratings trend for Sunak – politicalbetting.com
Do I lose all my kudos points by admitting that I was 'introduced' to ABBA via Erasure's Abba-esque EP back in 1992? In my defence, I was only 19 at the time ... -
Re: Tories edging up with YouGov – politicalbetting.com
Isn't it set in the Puddletown area, near where TH was born at Higher Bockhampton? The railways don't go that way (well, the Dorchester-Wareham line does a bit, but it's to the south, to the other side of the Frome watermeadows. And if the characters don't travel much, it may not register. Dorchester/Casterbridge was of… -
Re: This will make you even more confused about HS2 – politicalbetting.com
I think that describes a Ripping Yarn's episode "Escape From Stalag Luft 112B" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rdC2aMIXvDw -
Re: It’s only Monday – politicalbetting.com
Sounds like a classic Sub Arachnoid haemorrhage from a brain aneurysm, around 1% of us have them. There was no strike on Monday last week, and on all days there has been emergency cover. Sad news. -

Re: A little thought experiment for Sunday – politicalbetting.com
I think HS2 will likely follow the Edinburgh Trams and Crossrail "journey". Political cowardice, incompetence, increased costs, lots of whining from the motoring lobby. Years or decades late. And yet significantly higher patronage than expected. Over capacity immediately. Benefits not included in the business case appear… -

Re: In just a month Sunak sees a massive drop in his ratings – politicalbetting.com
If he does he will, like Shapps, be lying to the House because without HS2’s and indeed HS3’s capacity improvements there can’t be big change in rail services in the north. you’d need to make it four times as wide to do that! -
Re: Trump 12% behind in New Hampshire – politicalbetting.com
He has his own Instagram account, which keeps him busy enough. Especially as I have to do the typing as his paws are too big for the letters on the keyboard. -
Re: LAB edges up in the Mid Beds betting – politicalbetting.com
Not just PB. The hysteria in the msm too. Some of the language is verging on the deranged. You’d think Sunak had, single handedly, caused the climate ‘crisis’ to get 100 times worse overnight. -

Re: The Mid Beds betting remains very tight – politicalbetting.com
Yes, I’m on Team Badenoch. The point is that the likes of Goldsmith is so rich that he doesn’t think about the cost of “net zero”. It’s lovely to have these luxury beliefs when they don’t meaningfully impact your life. Meanwhile, the rest of us do think about the cost, and Rishi, although he’s also rich, thinks about you… -
Re: There is a logic in Sunak’s green gamble – politicalbetting.com
This is the problem with pb.....most here can afford 200 on a meal. However about 70% of the country is feeling lucky if they have 500 a month to feed themselves and pay for their transport. This is why I get angry when people say no one will be bothered by 1% on basic income tax. The people saying it are usually people… -
Re: This is complete nonsense from Sunak – politicalbetting.com
I just don't quite understand it. "We're stopping taxes on meat" I mean - who the blazes was going to tax meat except for the government, that's been a Tory government for thirteen years? Who is taxing meat? I don't know. Donald Trump's lies are better than this. Donald Trump has a more consistent moral compass on Climate… -

Re: An R&W Welsh poll finds backing for the 20mph speed limit – politicalbetting.com
This morning's Savanta 20% Labour lead is the highest since January. The Conservatives seem to be a busted flush. Time for change.
