Re:bookied on politics, remember that political bets aresuch a microscopic proportion of their revenue that they have little invested in setting realistic odds- political odds are pure marketing.

Yeah I'd imagine the political betting markets are similar to the next manager ones. If you put a tenner on the odds go in.

May instinctively knew to keep campaigning in the north to choreographed events surrounded by activists for a good reason, every time boris goes out there he makes a new anti-boris meme. Although to some they might become pro-boris memes, but hopefully to not enough ppl.

the adults decided it was coarsening the discourse on neo-fascist thugs, who as history has shown us will always run for cover when faced with the brute force of polite political debate with grown ups.

i hate it to say it but with an election campaign imminent it might be better tactics to avoid shaking Boris or other Tories. Farage and co are still fair game.

One under-reported aspect of the 2017 election was that it transformed the electoral landscape for any future election, leaving the outcome even more uncertain. In the 2015 election, just 56 seats out of 650 had a majority of less than five points; since the 2017 election, there are now 96 such seats. As a result, small swings in the popular vote can have a massive impact.

Love how the piece is built like some big political journey and...it's just no such thing at all. He just loves feeling like he is challenging people and being some crass version of a free thinker. While being a landlord, running a business and trying to not be too cosy with New Labour lol. Cunt.
