Biden will now step down. Earlier this week he actually said that if Doctor's told him to, he would. He probably doesn't have Covid and I now expect him to stand down on 'Doctor's orders'. He, and his family, do not want him to step down because of mental issues, as this would tarnish his 'legacy', but a physical ailment will suffice. In my opinion, this is what we are seeing played out. It will be interesting to see what the Dems have cooked, because I do not think they will run with Harris.
How big a fool would that make him look given how he pushed the Vaccines in 2020/21 and said that anyone that didn't take the vaccine was at fault for Covid! He can't resign due to Covid..
The Democrats and himself would come out best if they just admitted that he has just lost his marbles and can't do the job.
Which has clearly happened.
They can never admit that, even though the world has been aware of it for at least two years. Until the tv debate, the Dems insisted that there was nothing wrong with him. We all know that they were lying. They now cannot admit to mental impairment, which is why they will play the 'physical health' card. They were hoping he could hang on long enough to win the election, where he would very quickly step down for someone (not Harris) else to take over. They were basically trying to hoodwink the US electorate, but Biden couldn't hang on long enough. It was a "vote for Biden, but you don't know who you will get" policy. And the Dems continually harp on about "defending Democracy" !

Starmer must never forget.....9.7 million voted for Labour in total. 17.2 million voted for Brexit. Labour got 33% of the vote. With a turn out of 52% this equates ( off my head) to about 20%! Basically, 80% either did not vote for Labour, or didn't vote at all. To get back into the EU a referendum would be required. This time they will have to include a super majority vote, as they cannot risk another close vote to leave. However, if that majority vote is set at, let's say, two thirds, then Leave would win again.
Ummmm I have not read anywhere that the current government is planning to rejoin the EU.
The paranoia amongst leavers runs deep, it seems
For God's sakes, it's not paranoia. You will not read it anywhere, as they are s**t scared to openly admit that is what they want to do. Why do you think Brexit was never mentioned in the run-up to the election?

Mmmm, 12 million shares in the Trump Organization were 'shorted' the day before. Basically, when you short you are betting on the share value going down, which it would have if Trump had been killed.

Why is Davey being given an easy ride by the MSM? He went to work for the Post Office's lawyers for five years less than a month after the BBC's Panorama "Trouble at the Post Office" was broadcast in August 2015 and which he has admitted he watched when it was broadcast. He also received £275,000 from them.

So..now Pat MC Fadden wishes he has asked more questions...what a load of tosh.....more like don't upset the applecart...it means more work..... it'll pass over and noone will say anything....Spud Davey will be exactly the same...just to save their own arses...full of apology and excuses..but ..let's get on with life....
The minister's involved, including McFadden and Davey, were happy to sit on their arses, collect the money, accept the rewards while holding that position, and do nothing. The same with the woman (can't remember her name) who was the Chairman of the PO. To be fair she did come across as gormless and she obviously had no idea as to what was going on, but she was happy to accept the salary and accolades that go with the job. She is married to Jack Straw, so we can clearly see how these people get these positions.

In all fairness, you cannot blame the politicians for this planning failure, neither Labour nor Tory. I have no doubt that what took place was under the instruction of the scientists and health specialists. The politicians (aka the government) were just acting on their advice.
After it broke, but the planning before was a farce
Yes, even during the planning. Any action taken would have been under the behest of the scientists and health specialists. They would have been the ones deciding what equipment was stored for possible use in a pandemic, not the politicians.
PS - I can't believe I am defending politicians here, but it really was not their fault.

The Kings Speech.......It looks like more government, more government control. Nationalization, rent caps, Energy Control. Those of us of a certain age have seen all this before. It never ends well. Don't these politicians ever learn anything?
As I said before the election, same old parties, same old policies, same old results.

The 20 year old ,alleged to have shot at Trump, a kitchen worker.. registered Republican voter....
Just saw this...
No..
He registered as a Republican to vote in a primary against Trump, and he donated $15 to a progressive turnout project.He then SHOT Trump... do the maths...
He was not a Republican and neither were either of his parents, do your research.
In the same way that thousands of Tories joined the Labour Party for (was it three quid?) so they could vote for Magic Grandpa Corbyn !

I have to hold my hands up and admit I am no expert on the US Constitution, nor the legal arguments that surround it. However, the Judge declared it was Unconstitutional, and I'm pretty sure she knows more about these things than either me or you.
Not according to Lawyers in the States. She has twisted the words of Justice Clarence Thomas in his summation of the decision on Presidential Immunity. She has been sitting on this for over a year. It stinks. It's likely the Attorney General will appeal, but it will probably be too late. Trump will be elected and he will ensure all charges against him are dropped.
A terrible distortion of the American judicial system and a very dangerous precedent.
This path leads to a President doing whatever he chooses to do, without the constraints of an independent judiciary and without the checks and balances set in the Constitution in the form of the Congress and the Senate.
As Mr Hayek once famously said "The Road to Serfdom"
and.....why haven't then gone for Biden as well as he had documents taken when he wasn't even President, but Vice-President ! Every President who ever served has done the same as the documents generally are for their Libraries. That's what stinks Oldie. Going after Trump for doing the same as every President who has ever served. Another useless prosecution, more votes for Trump. Nothing to do with a distortion of the judicial system.

Gloucestershire have done really well. They beat Somerset on both T20 occasions when Somerset had them reeling in the Bristol match and we should have won. And in the Taunton match a great last over saw them home when again we should have won. But we didn’t. But Gloucestershire never consolidated on those matches. I don’t know why but almost as if it was enough to beat us. We lost but have come back to easily beat Surrey and Thrash Hampshire and will now qualify for the quarter finals. Sometimes the manner of how you win or how you lose is important. We lost both matches but played well and should have won. Gloucestershire won because of Charlesworth and Price on both occasions. Quite unusual to win both by 5 wickets with the same two batsmen saving them on both occasions. The rest of the team need to step up. But but shows how Gloucestershire does have players, or at least two, who can win under pressure.

As I now live in Wales I've started see exactly what the Welsh Labour government are doing here. Speaking to friends and neighbours I'm amazed that they keep getting re-elected, as they are universally disliked. The Farming Policy is crazy. They hold a 'public consultation' first. In Wales this means that the decision has already been taken but they have to go through the motions. Farmers will have to set aside 20% of their land for 'wilding', that is each and every farmer! The farmer's will be paid for the non-use of this land, so taxpayers are paying farmers to not produce food! As most are aware the 20 mph speed limit's are nonsense. It has been 'suggested' that the tolls are put back on the Severn Bridges to raise money, but more importantly, to reduce the traffic in Wales! That's something that will really help the economy eh ! Then there is the question of a 90 million pound cut in the Welsh NHS to fund an increase of politicians in the Welsh Assembly. Yes, you've got that, a cut in the NHS budget in the worst performing NHS in the UK to fund even more politicians! The Welsh Government also bought the bankrupt Cardiff Airport, and it's still losing money ! Good move that ! All new infrastructure projects (mainly new roads and road improvements) have been cancelled. They reckon there is no need for these as the traffic levels will drop with their other policies !

"A special prosecutor is a prosecutor who is independent of an office that would normally exercise jurisdiction in a criminal investigation—to avoid potential conflicts of interest or to facilitate subject matter area expertise. At the federal level, under 28 CFR § 600.1, a special prosecutor is referred to as a “special counsel,” and may be appointed by the attorney general to criminally investigate an individual or matter in cases where a Justice Department investigation would present a conflict of interest, or in other “extraordinary circumstances.” Under Supreme Court precedent in Morrison v. Olson, Congress may also appoint a special counsel through the passage of legislation. Notable special counsels in U.S. history include Ken Starr of the Clinton Whitewater investigation and Lawrence Walsh of the Iran-Contra Affair."
So on what basis did Judge Cannon determine that the appointment of the special prosecutor, appointed by Merrick Garland the Attorney General, breach the constitution and precedent set in jurisprudence?
I have to hold my hands up and admit I am no expert on the US Constitution, nor the legal arguments that surround it. However, the Judge declared it was Unconstitutional, and I'm pretty sure she knows more about these things than either me or you.

Sorry Oldie, but I have openly stated on here many times that I think Trump is an idiot. However, I do think it is an attack on Democracy when we witness these stupid legal battles in the courts that have been brought by the Democrats in an attempt to stop him running for the Presidency. You are constantly on here supporting these legal cases and you cannot see that these cases are actually helping Trump get re-elected. All they have pinned on him so far are a Misdemeanor which we all know will be thrown out on appeal.
Being a Reform supporter in no way makes anyone a Trump supporter. In the same way that although I voted for Reform it does not mean I agree with everything Farage says or does. You really should stop this tribal nonsense. It's the politics of the blinkered.
Well Then it's a balance of evidence. Do we choose to cast out votes for known idiots such as Trump & Farage, even just as a protest, or do we compromise on the least worse option?
What doesn't help us the continuous line of attack on the media and judiciary. Because that avenue is exactly the line taken by Trump and Farage.
First off your attempt to compare Trump to Farage is ridiculous. Regarding the 'continuous attacks on the judiciary' it's quite plain to see that it is the Democrats who have launched the attacks on Trump using the Judiciary! Not sure what attacks Farage has made against the Judiciary, but he was right to have a go at the BBC for the comments made by that newsreader!
