After what’s been described as Trump’s worst week yet the betting stays with the president surviving

Betdata.io Chaos and back-stabbing have become the new norm Based on publicly available betting data the main issue that’s attracted the interest of political punters in the past week has been whether or not Mr. Trump is going to survive as President to the end of a full term. The numbers are in the Betdata.io chart above and show that the UK betting markets rate his chances of remaining at 51%. So far I’ve not been tempted by the Trump…

Back Trump to be impeached in 2019 at 18-1

Back Trump to be impeached in 2019 at 18-1

Making enemies could cost him dear, as McCain has already shown Donald Trump is an unusual president. Unusual in the same way that a triceratops turning up at Crufts would be unusual. He is not merely of a different species; his whole manner and understanding of the role are utterly alien to DC. Even by his standards though, this week has been extraordinary. He publicly attacked his own Attorney General, he banned transgender people from serving in the military (without…

At last! Mr. Trump shakes hands with a leader who has worse leader ratings than he does – Mrs. May

At last! Mr. Trump shakes hands with a leader who has worse leader ratings than he does – Mrs. May

One of the most worrying features for Mrs. May following her failed GE17 gamble and her determination to stay in the job has been the sharp move downwards in her leader ratings. Whether the format has been about favourability, satisfaction, approval or doing well/badly she has seen a very sharp reversal since June 8th.

We’ve not seen a Marf cartoon on PB for some time but that all changes this afternoon with this drawing on Donald Trump who clearly is under a lot of pressure.

The nearer you are to Russia the greater you attach to the importance of NATO

This could be a growing issue in many countries Well done to YouGov for putting together this cross comparison of view of NATO in a range of different countries. This body which has remained intact since 1949 and has played a key part in many counties security since that time. But political considerations are changing and we cannot assume that things will continue as they are. No doubt the weakening of this alliance is a key objective for Mr. Putin…
