Has Giuliani still got the fire in his belly?
CDN Could Rudy be tempted to throw his hat into the ring? Overnight I’ve placed a fair bit of money on Rudy Giuliani for the Republican nomination at prices greater than 40/1 after watching a TV interview that he gave over the weekend. At this stage before the 2008 race Giuliani was the hot favourite for the GOP slot. It was his crazy strategy of avoiding the first round of primaries so he could throw everything into “Super Tuesday” that…
Has Rick Perry got a cowboy problem?
Could the favourite start to put off donors? Over the past 48 hours all the money on the Republican party nominee has gone on Rick Perry – the flamboyant governor of Texas who joined the race at the weekend. Some bookies have priced him at 5/4 – which is an amazingly tight price on an event that won’t be settled for at least a year.

These are for the directly-elected police commissioners of which there will be 41. They take over the functions of the existing police authorities and will be very much the public faces of policing in their areas. The electorates for the new jobs will be all those on the electoral roll…

Can Guido catch up in the hanging e-petition race?
Will he get the required 100,000 by February? As I’m sure we all know Guid is running a campaign to get capital punishment restored for certain cases of serious murder and he’s set up a petition on the Number 10 e-petitions site. If the total reach the threshold of 100,000 within six months then it becomes eligible to be debated in the commons. His move has received a fair bit of attention in the media and also prompted a rival…
