This, I think, is Biden’s biggest weakness. He hasn’t got an organised campaign in place, and while immensely popular in the party (and his candidacy notably engendering enthusiasm in recent California polling), it’s unclear how,well he might translate that into a successful grassroots campaign.
In contrast, Harris appears to have got off to a good (and early) start in this respect.
I’m told that this can become extremely irritating...
Harris though looks weaker at this point in terms of fundraising and ground operation than the early betting suggests and that could be a problem for her as funds available and ground operation are crucial in getting out the vote in primaries and caucuses

Impressive how big that Gillibrand number is, though.
IMHO that’s appalling.

How on esrth have we ended up with a cabinet containing the likes of Williamson, Grayling, Fox, Leadsom, etc? The Tories have absolutely nothing to offer this country. My God, we’re in the do-do.
That said I am surprised the treatment was stopped halfway through. More normally in my experience they would have refused to start it, although Foxy would be in a better position to explain than I am.
We need to be careful there.
Worse, since the Hoonmeister was operating within a coherent (if flawed) foreign policy, whereas Williamson seems to have free range to talk utter bollocks direct to the readers of Telegraph (and future Tory leadership contest voters) and never mind the impact on, you know, the real world.
Incidentally, it may interest you to hear that her elder brother has just achieved A* in History in his GCSE Mock exams and proposes to 'do' the subject at A level.
A Ministry of all the Shits.
Hope he gets that result in the real thing.
There is no majority for May’s deal.
There is a majority for May’s deal, subject to it being put to the people.
There is also probably a majority for Norway plus, now that Corbyn has swung behind it.
Why not vote: May’s Deal, Corbyn’s Deal, Remain?
I think it’s fair to say we need to do something to increase the quality of people deciding to enter politics - as someone suggested on here last week, an election with the 650 incumbents all barred from standing would be a good starting point!
For the early 1800s, presumably you're referring to the Addington ministry?
I was referring to those quick-fire and self collapsing administrations of the Napoleonic Wars, but actually the Who? Who? government is a better reference.
It’s just about the most cliched thing in politics there is.
You think the whole of the South China Sea and its international waters should be ceded to China for good?
Gavin Williamson again...

Britain's Armed Forces are ready to use 'hard power' against aggressors, Gavin Williamson will declare today.
The Defence Secretary will say it is time to increase our 'lethality' and warn Russia and China there will be a high price for flouting international law.
In a speech in London, he will announce the deployment of the Queen Elizabeth aircraft carrier to the Pacific to deter the Chinese.

Idiot.
If there's one thing that a hard Brexit could achieve, it may be the final puncturing of imperial pretensions. The UK is still prancing on the world stage, but the butcher's apron is threadbare. It would be a comeuppance for the UK and facilitate Scottish independence and Irish re-unification. With the replacement of NATO by a EU armed force, little England (+/- Wales) would need to seek other allies, so unnecessarily antagonising Russia is foolhardy.
The Loto's approach to foreign policy is more realistic.
To be totally honest, five governments in twelve years isn't especially 'quick fire.'
It maybe just a financial issue, but I would be suspicious that a contract was ended abruptly mid financial year purely on that basis. There may be either clinical or other issues.
Certainly the course of treatment needs to be completed. Her parents should write to the Cheif Executive of the CCG.

HMS Queen Elizabeth would meet the fate of HMS Repulse and Prince of Wales if not part of an organised battlefleet. It is delusional to think otherwise.
You know with the talking...
To think the nation could have ended up with Tobias Ellwood as Defence Secretary but instead has been subjected to Willamson.
I’m sure both Russia and China are quaking in their boots at Britain’s new found lethality !!! Brexit the gift that continues to deliver more shame on the UK on a daily basis !
The UK also remains a permanent member of the UN Security Council with a veto and no UN Security Council member can be removed once in place without its consent
I think the O'Rourke figure is quite large, given he's only been on the stage, as it were, for less time and without the 2016 run that Sanders had.
Surprised the women haven't had a bit more. But it's early days yet.
That’s definitely the sort of country I want to live in.
Also, we are not at war with China last time I checked.
I consider it a success.
Putting all our eggs in one basket, and sending it to the other side of the world is not wise.
You’d have thought there would be a way for mature democracies to cooperate on crime fighting without surrendering their independence!
😖
Probably.
So, we could have worse leaders than the incumbents.
As for your proposition, you cannot set Brexit aside I'm afraid.
Not only is that not true, but you might as well argue that setting aside WW2, Neville Chamberlain was the most successful PM if the C20.
KLOBUCHAR thing start?
Six Nations markets aren't up fully (I think next weekend is skipped), but Scotland 2.2 to beat France looks interesting. Also, Wales are 9 for the Triple Crown. Prefer value that to the 2.37 on them beating England (obviously have to hedge or back Ireland versus Wales to go all-green, or just let it ride, if the Welsh win). Not sure if I'll back either, though the Scottish bet appeals more.
Only on PB.
On this deployment the QNLZ will not be going within 500nm of any disputed Chinese waters. That is absolutely 100% guaranteed.
That’s not the issue here.
To be fair, you’re never going to be the first on the barricades to defend the Government and sing its praises.
Sorry.
A patently absurd position to take.
The point clearly being made is that a severe unplanned dislocation of current arrangements will have consequences.
Obviously, that doesn’t include ad hominem.
