Not thrilled about the "chaired by Starmer" part. Not being able to delegate was one of Theresa May's tragic flaws. Hopefully I'm just worrying too much.

And they could probably sell it to OAP's as being "like when we joined the Common Market to take advantage of trade".

Didn't Boles cross the aisle a few years back, once he realised the Tories weren't serious about doing any of it?

At least UK media outlets wear their bias on their sleeves. Mainstream US media pretend to be neutral third parties while actually leaning hard to the right.

In the meantime take good care of you. Have a cup of tea. Go for a hike (assuming your weather is better than mine). Build a puzzle.

I understand why Labour are doing it, but Brexit being the pink elephant in the room that no one is talking about is not sustainable.

Eh. After the shit show of the past 8 years there's a lot to be done, and probably some benefit to being a bit performative about doing some of it.

Starmer is going to greatly benefit from everyone's expectations for the new government being so low. I think, at least in the short term, he can't help but get a bounce.

You know what? Go on about Biden's age and debate performance. Me? I'll focus on the existential threat that Donald Trump and his minions represent. We all have limited time and energy. Do you really want to spend July and August talking about Biden's infirmity? Do you really think this is helping?

It appears Arkansas’ abortion rights constitutional amendment has gained enough signatures to make the November ballot - over 101,000. Never underestimate what an army of memaws in tennis shoes with clipboards can accomplish.

My favorite part of the West Wing fantasies about replacing Biden is the idea that there wouldn’t immediately be a new fatal flaw with whoever replaced him.

if the media could go ahead and treat this claim the way they treat Biden saying "I'm fine" - aka, as a lie that requires days on end of front page stories to debunk - that would be great we'll be over here waiting

a) Some people ascribe way more power to the DNC than the DNC possesses in reality. The DNC are a chimera. b) Many of those same people have forgotten that primaries were a progressive innovation.

"Tories have cycled through five prime ministers over the past eight years, to the point where they were recently found going through the rubbish, pulling the first guy back out, thinking, 'Actually, he doesn’t look half bad now,' and making him foreign secretary. This is the behaviour of addicts."
