Trying to understand why the Lib Dems aren’t doing better in the polls
The Lib Dems are still paying the price for being hollowed out in local government during the coalition years. One of the mysteries of current politics for me is how badly the Lib Dems are doing in the polls. Since the general election every opinion poll bar one has the Lib Dems polling in the single digits when the current political terrain should be fertile for them. With Brexit being so polarising I’d have thought the only staunchly GB wide…

A couple of new betting specials from Ladbrokes
#Budget2017 key points: ?Blue tie was odds-on, costs Ladbrokes money.?Chancellor uses loads of BuzzwordBingo phrases, costs Ladbrokes money.?Chancellor says "Economicky" at 16/1, costs Ladbrokes money.?Ladbrokes Political desk's Christmas Party cancelled. ?? — Ladbrokes Politics (@LadPolitics) November 22, 2017 Looking to recoup their losses from their disastrous buzzword bingo market Ladbrokes have put up a couple of new markets.

Today’s budget buzzword bingo
Ladbrokes have put up their customary Budget buzzword bingo, I’m avoiding this market as nothing leaps out as value and I really don’t fancy contributing to the Ladbrokes Christmas bonus fund. Ladbrokes also have a market up on the colour of Philip Hammond’s tie, this is another market I’m going to avoid for the same reasons.

This is one betting market I’m absolutely confident the punters have undoubtedly got right
Let's have a look at where the money has been going in next year's exciting Russian Presidential Election. pic.twitter.com/DHb1eEsKo1 — Ladbrokes Politics (@LadPolitics) November 21, 2017 For laughs, MI6 should start buying Facebook ads and start a troll factory in Birmingham to derail Putin's chances in the next Russian Presidential election. — TSE (@TSEofPB) November 21, 2017 But in good news for Mrs May the latest Kantar polls gives the Tories a 4% lead, at the general election they were…
