Placing Bets On 2017 UK General Election

With the General Election on June 8th quickly approaching, political betting website BetOnPolitics.co.uk is offering readers live odds on all 650 constituencies.

In the past few years political betting has become bis business. One firm alone took £3million on the last UK General Election, and £5million on last year's US Election. Unsurprisingly the bookmakers "anticipate huge bettering interest" on the 2017 snap election.

Betting on a range of election markets, including voter turnout and odds for all 650 constituencies, updated in real time, will be live on betonpolitics.co.uk/category/constituency/ in the run-up to June 8th.

Phil Loew, ediotr of the BetOnPolitics website, said; "As well as providing the very latest pre-election news, we'll also be working hard to inform our readers about the best odds available on various political markets.

"Polls and Election betting markets may suggest that Prime Minister Theresa May is going to win the election with a large majority, but political punters will still be expecting twists and turns in the coming weeks, as well as looking at the battles in the marginals sear, and we'll be covering it all, with live betting updates on the election itself from 7am right through to the polls closing at 10pm."

Although betting is unadvised, websites such as BetOnPolitics are providing a clearer view of public opinion the upcoming election than most polls.

Glasgow's River Clyde Back To Health

Environment Secretary Roseanna Cunningham, yesterday confirmed that investment in the River Clyde has helped to tackle pollution and restore habitats. The Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) which monitors the water quality in Scotland's lochs and rivers has reported the Clyde is in significantly better health than expected thanks to investment by Scottish Water, SEPA, farmers and local authorities. The major improvement project is estimated to result in Scottish Water invest more than £600 million between 2010 and 2021, with the money going into wastewater treatment work and sewerage systems in the area. Meanwhile the Scottish Governments Water Environment Fund (WEF), which is administered by SEPA, has help to restore natural habitats by removing fish barriers and concrete channels to allow fish to reach the upper reaches of the Clyde catchment. The WEF fund has already invested £3.1 million in river restoration projects near Hamilton and Shotts, with more inve...

Driving Lessons

If you are anything like me you will have put learning to drive off until you absolutely had too. There where a number of things which prevented me from getting behind the wheel, and, unlike most the cost wasn't the biggest thing. No, my biggest worry about driving was my personal disbelief that I, only of eight stone and five feet one inch, could possibly, ever, make something as big as a car move. Every time my mind climbed over the wall that stopped me from thinking I could move the car I was assaulted by fears of endless stalling, the possibility of turning the car directly into a ditch, veering into a car that was overtaking for I failed to remember where the break was, and the ultimate worry that I would turn an inicent by-stander into a pancake. My first ever driving lesson was just before last Christmas. My mother arranged it, refusing to accept my refusals to do it. Thankfully she did arrange it for a tutor from her area and for when I would be visiting for the holid...

The Slow Climb To Living Wage

Gorgie City Farm has become the 800th Scottish-based living wage accredited employer, with employees benefiting from fair work principles which the Scottish Government would like become a national standard. The Scottish Government has set a target of reaching 1,000 Scottish-based living wage accredited employers by this autumn. Cabinet Secretary of Fair Work, Keith Brown, said: "This is a significant step in our drive to promote fairer working environments for Scottish employees and ensures people's basic wage continues to meet the reel cost of living. "Paying the Real Living Wage makes sense for businesses. It's an investment in people and all the evdience shows it leads to increased productivity and reduced staff absence, while sending a strong signal to customers about fairness. "We will continue to work with the 'Scottish Living Wage Accreditation Initiative' to encourage more businesses to recognise the benefits of paying the real living ...
