America is going to the dogs

America is going to the dogs

YouGov America have some fascinating polling when it comes to dog/pet owners. As a cat owner/slave to a cat I am delighted to see my fellow cat owners are a net negative when it comes to Trump but what is going on with dog owners? TSE

Recent history suggests Badenoch will not make it to the general election

Recent history suggests Badenoch will not make it to the general election

David Cameron really was exceptional, we may not see his like again, since the turn of the millennium other than David Cameron no Tory leader has served more 38 months. No wonder Ladbrokes make it 2/9 that Badenoch will not make it to the next general election, the Tories really do like ditching their leaders this century. TSE

Badger versus baboon: The sequel

Badger versus baboon: The sequel

Readers of Popbitch will be aware of the longstanding discussion over who would win a fight between a badger and a baboon but last week the internet came up with a new variation, who would win a fight between 100 unarmed men and a silverback gorilla. I think the 35% who went for the men are utterly deluded. TSE PS – A baboon would easily beat a badger in a fight and I will entertain no further discussion on this…

This bodes well for Labour to receive tactical votes

This bodes well for Labour to receive tactical votes

As we saw in last week’s by-election every vote matters and if I were a Labour strategist I would be happy with this polling, I suspect plenty on the centre left will vote tactically to keep out Farage and Reform.

A 50/1 tip to start your day

A 50/1 tip to start your day

I expect when people realise I am backing the Lib Dems to win the most seats at the next general election some of you will send me links to the Gamble Aware website but my logic is based on this being an excellent (trading) bet for the following reasons. So that’s why I think 50/1 is good trading bet an you can also get around 48/1 on Betfair. TSE

The Tories are a rounding error from being fourth

The Tories are a rounding error from being fourth

A Westminster insider once observed to me that poll politicians most take notice of is the poll that has them doing the worst as politicians are a glass half empty type of people and this YouGov poll today is a shocker. The Tory party which (in)famously only ever panics in a crisis might soon be having another ‘moment’ if they start ending up behind the Lib Dems and still stuck in the teens. Up until quite recently I thought Kemi…

Like the Welsh rugby union team Welsh Labour are performing really badly

Like the Welsh rugby union team Welsh Labour are performing really badly

Whilst the Brexit Party won Wales in the 2019 European elections this Senedd polling is seismic, and if turns out to be true I wonder if Labour finish third or lower then Starmer might quit. Starmer did contemplate quitting after the Hartlepool by-election so Starmer might actually quit after losing Wales, so the 5/1 on him quitting in 2026 offered by Ladbrokes looks tempting. TSE
