A special offer for PB party attendees

A week tomorrow it’s the next PB gathering at the Dirty Dicks pub which is across the road from Liverpool Street station.

I’ll be bringing with me some of the remaining copies of my 2007 book, The Political Punter, which is now out of print. It is a bit old bit but the basic principles stay the same.

If anybody would like one please email me in advance. All I ask is that you make a donation to the site.

There will be a limit in the number I’ll be able to carry so please let me know in advance.

A new online poll by ComRes for the Indy on Sunday and Sunday Mirror has the following shares with changes on the last such poll in August .

Con 38% (-) Lab 38% (-2) LD 11% (-) Others 13% (+2)

So another pollster has Labour slipping back.

Only YouGov now has Labour in the 40s.

In other findings : Only 23% agree Lib Dems have “done a good job of moderating Conservative policies” – Only 24% agree Lib Dems a “credible party of government” as a result of the Coalition

Sorry for the rather sparse post – I’m on a train and do not have my PC

Welcome to Henry G Manson

I am pleased to report that Henry G has accepted an invitation join the PB team and will from this weekend have a regular slot.

Henry is a long-standing Labour activist in the North East who has been sharing his insights on the site for several years. It was his posts last August that prompted a lot of PBers to get on Ed Miliband for the Labour leadership when could decent price were available. He’s also pretty good on tennis tips.

As well as politics Henry is gambler who is able to look at things from the betting perspective irrespective of what he himself would like.

Welcome aboard.
