Alan, totally made up rubbish. Unionists just pig sick that Cummings will get a vote. You only need to be registered to vote in an address eligible for the election , to do that you must be living in the house or own it. You don't get multiple votes if you own more than one house , but there is not and never has been a 6… -

The thing about housing is that it whilst it is and has been used as a yield producing investment like say Vodafone shares, noone needs a Vodafone share to live in ! People do need houses to live in, and whilst there are building types that will never be owned by their occupiers (Student flats are a good example) - it's… -

Let's cover some basics. According to the news channels he has been to the Obama White House 81 times. He is also a close associate of Bill de Blasio. Both Obama and de Blasio have said inflammatory things about Ferguson and Staten Island, instead of trying to unite the nation and calm the situation. He is not elected to… -
Re: What’s in the box? – politicalbetting.com
It's rather complex. That is the fee, then all the material has to be collected for the form and 10 or more attachments, and a professional to check that the Council aren't trying (by deliberation or incompetence) to add in all sorts of duties that they have no legal right to enforce, and push back (this is routine). Where… -
Re: How Starmer could become PM – politicalbetting.com
Justin, he has yet to oppose a government vote in the House of Commons. There has been precisely no opposition for the past 18 months. The Labour Party has supported the government on every possible occasion. And now he wants people to support the Labour Party. -

Re: The Tories hang on in Hillingdon in massive blow to LAB – politicalbetting.com
ULEZs have been here forever. Now it has a new name, some people are pretending that it is a new idea. It's one simple idea - filtering to prevent through traffic, which is a core feature of pretty much every new housing development since 1965. The first filtered traffic scheme I can recall was in Nottingham in the mid… -

Even if you move to a cheaper area, a five-figure cheque that you’re transferring from your own personal housing equity to the general Treasury coffers is still a consideration for those being asked to move. There also the fear of missing out - someone who located themselves in the north, rather than the south, a couple of… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » NEW PB / Polling Matters podcast: Housing policy could decide
What the podcast makes clear is that the section by Boris today on housing was spot on in identifying the issue which could resolve the next election. Generation rent need homes and they need them now. There has been a modest pick up in housebuilding but it is nothing like what the situation requires:… -

Re: Ed Davey, not winning here? – politicalbetting.com
No, i disagree. The PM has been caught expressing confidence whilst ignoring/avoiding evidence available, proper due diligence in the appointment was not apparently done, the story is changing on an hour to hour, day to day basis as they fire fight. He may have misled parliament. We need to know what other decisions he is… -

Re: Lessons from history – politicalbetting.com
It going up and down with house prices makes sense though, its essentially a mix of a glorified shared and a loan, isn't it? As house prices go up the government benefits from having provided the equity by having its share go up, as they go down it reverses. I'd be curious to see a long-term analysis as to how much HMT has… -
