Based in Spain but born in the Boro. Wish the UK was still part of the EU! I am left of centre and a great believer in science and reason.

Biden is a wreck. Do you want to gamble and lose to the orange pig? He's just way too old. In Spain and elsewhere people just can't believe how old he looks and acts.

Labour in power with Lib Sem opposition. That would be great. Tories relegated to third place!

The USA is now a Republic of the banana type. No more crowing about the best democracy in the world. That's something.

If a president issues an order using the presidential seal, that would be official. He could nuke a city if he said it was to protect national security. Or murder Antifa protesters. The USA is now worse than Putin's Russia.

Why don't you just bring back the monarchy. Yours is a sham Republic.

I'd like to feel a bit of schadenfreude after hearing Americans bang on about how great your democracy is but Trump will also shaft the rest of the world so I'll probably be just as angry that the dirty pig gets another lucky break.

I'll start worrying if the right get a majority in France.

Meloni is a paper tiger. Final French results still not in. In Spain the far right is stagnant. Hungary? We'll, that's a different and miniscule kettle of fish.

I hated saying that Biden should step down but he does look very, very inform sometimes. Trump is a pig, btw!

But this is different. They should find a substitute for Boden or risk the Trump monster winning.

It's genuinely extraordinary to me that it's possible to reach adulthood in America, absent *any* awareness of Native Americans.

If I ask someone where they went on their holidays and they say something like Canada. I always follow up with whereabouts, not where. Am I alone in doing this?
