Taking away what’s become an entitlement is politically dangerous On the first anniversary of the Senate defeat of Trump’s health care repeal,and just three months before the crucial midterm elections, a new Public Policy Polling survey finds a majority of voters want to support candidates for Congress who oppose repealing the Affordable Care Act. This was brought in under Obama in 2010 and has provided health provision for millions of Americans. By 56% to 40% those sampled said they’d support…
Betdata.io The confidence motion threat was all piss and wind from the Brexiteers Today has been a very important milestone because Parliament has risen for the summer recess and Mrs May is still Prime Minister and leader of the Conservative Party. Giving the a long time table of a Conservative leadership election it is hard to see how Mrs May can be ousted and for a successor to be in place in 2018. The chances are now that her exit…

RCP The more he’s attacked the more his bases backs him. Only cloud on the horizon – he’s losing independents
The Brexit splits are costing her and her party dear The chart above sets it out clearly the dramatic collapse that Mrs May has seen in her YouGov Well/Badly leader ratings since the start of April. I’ve been following these ratings for years and cannot recall a fall by such a large amount over such a short period for any leader. Of course she faces a huge challenge and it would be very difficult for any leader to negotiate his…
Chou en-Lai is supposed to have said that his assessment of the French Revolution was “It is too early to tell.” Sadly, this appears to have been a misunderstanding, but the agreeably placid sentiment was echoed by Jacob Rees-Mogg this week. Asked if he’d resign if Brexit turned out badly, he said it might take 50 years before the full impact was apparent.
