The favourite to succeed TMay as CON leader, a Mr. Johnson, gets his knuckles wrapped for a fake polling report

In January Mr. Johnson wrote in his Telegraph column that: “Of all the options suggested by pollsters – staying in the EU, coming out on Theresa May ’ terms, or coming out on World Trade terms – it is the last, the so-called no-deal option, that is gaining in popularity. In spite of – or perhaps because of – everything they have been told, it is this future that is by some margin preferred by the British public.” A reader…

Betdata.io chart of movement on the Betfair exchange On Betfair CON and LAB level pegging For those looking to the betting markets to give a pointer to how a new General Election will go then I’m sorry but the current position is that Labour and the Conservatives are rated at exactly the same level to win most seats.

While we have all been focused on the developments on Brexit there has been a lot of movement in the fight for the Democratic nomination for next year’s White House race. This starts the hot up in a few weeks when the first of the Dem Primary TV debate debates is held. The big sensation who has been making waves is the 37 year old mayor of a small city in Indiana, Pete Buttigieg who’s come from almost nowhere and…

Still the same stalemate but now with added time A quick look across the Brexit related betting markets suggest that there has been relatively little movement given the developments last night. That might be because Theresa May didn’t get her very short extension and neither did the EU leadership get their longer one. A no-deal Brexit now rated at a 14% chance which is barely changed.

Telegraph piece backs Mark Francois for leader https://t.co/pBOEsYH9Qd — Sam Coates Sky (@SamCoatesSky) April 10, 2019 On Betfair Exchange he is currently 400/1. I’ve wagered £2 at 402/1.
