    Re: Poor Rishi .......again

    Quite a feisty debate between Sunak and Starmer on the BBC tonight! I think the take-home message was that a big proportion of people are still undecided who to vote for. The audience member Robert said it all when he asked the question "are you the best two on offer"!

      I thought yet again starmer was hopeless

      He has the charisma of a week old sausage roll

      The poll on who came out on top called it a 50 50 draw

      If Labour had chosen a decent leader the majority would have been gigantic

        I thought I’d figured out this betting scandal, the term “insider trading” has been used in describing the allegations against the original people named in the bets placed on the date of the election and its that which is wrong about them. Stacks of people play the markets and most of them are not indulging in insider trading - rightly, no action is taken against them because they’re doing nothing wrong, that’s how I tend to think about politicians betting in general.

        For example, I don’t see what this bloke did wrong

        Scottish Secretary Alister Jack says he had "no knowledge of the date of the election" when he placed the bets


        apart from make an ill judged joke about how much he’d won, However, then you get a case like this one which has broken overnight and this just seems wrong to me, presumably because of the amount allegedly bet on the outcome of the constituency the MP is standing in - there’s no “insider trading” involved, but it just feels wrong.
