Demings would be the better choice, from Florida, a key swing state, rather than the safe Democratic areas of California and DC Like Harris and Rice
I think Biden's number one priority is to find a VP candidate who is (a) experienced enough to step into his shoes, and (b) does not scare off any moderate voters.
That's why Harris is the favourite. She's the conservative choice.
Her prosecution record could ironically scare off African Americans
Commentator just said in halftime chat that Chelsea have not lost a home game they were leading at half time in nine years. That's an impressive record.

Regarding Bojo's plane - to make a cheap point, I think we need a grovelling apology and promise to be good in future from @williamglenn, as he said we'd be getting nothing like the 'subtle' French Presidential plane design, but it appears we have more or less a carbon copy of that design but with the Union flag.
Personally I think it looks quite nice, but I'm rather underwhelmed. It isn't Austin Powers *enough* for £900,000 as far as I am concerned. I expect to uncontrollably burst out singing Rule Britannia when I see it for that money. The person who said it just looks like a standard British Airways' jumbo is pretty on the mark.
All of which rather misses the point, which is that Boris just blagged himself a personal jet, and convinced you that it’s costing less than a million.
It may be the 'point' as far as the wider public is concerned, but personally I'm not bothered by Boris Johnson nicking the jet (which he uses anyway?). I would be worried if it undermined our military capacity, but I have heard nothing to suggest it will.
I don't think money should be spared in advertising the UK overseas - Thatcher didn't either. Major didn't either, judging from the money he lavished on athletics training following our crappy showing in the Atlanta Olympics. I would be very much in favour (for example) of there being a new Royal Yacht. Anyone who doesn't think there's a difference in sending a trade delegation to Malacca and entertaining the movers and shakers aboard Britannia, letting them meet the Queen and see her in her geegaws, and just 'meeting them' in a conference room somewhere is mad.

Man Utd haven't since 1986.
Though to be fair in recent years haven't they kept that record by not winning at half time?
Aaron Bastani: “Labour is going backwards under Starmer, it seems very possible he loses more seats for example Ian Lavery’s majority is tiny and the black and brown people will see his majority go”

That accuses the Israelis - with some justice - of excessive use of force and extra judicial killings. However, the link between the two is tenuous at best. It isn’t, to be honest, a terribly convincing article. The French train with the Israeli police too and yet I don’t see quite the same problems, ina country that also has a deeply troubled history of race relations. Heck, so do the Met. So the article seems to be a classic post hoc, ergo propter hoc fallacy probably by a BDS activist who is also an Amnesty member.
But USPCR are an organisation linked to Hamas and Islamic Jihad. Effectively, they are an American fundraising branch for them through the PNIF. They are Nazi scum who do dreadful damage and should be ignored.
Aaron Bastani: “Labour is going backwards under Starmer, it seems very possible he loses more seats for example Ian Lavery’s majority is tiny and the black and brown people will see his majority go”
That isn’t by any means impossible. Hemsworth, Wansbeck, Delyn, two seats in Coventry, both seats in Newport, all held by wafer thin margins, may go next time due to changing voting habits anyway.
The trick for Starmer is to fight his way back through other seats.
True, on net favourable Attlee, then Smith, then Wilson.
Interesting though Blair gets a net unfavourable rating despite being the most successful general election winner for Labour ever, while Foot and Corbyn despite being electoral disasters overall get net favourables

Wansbeck won't exist after boundary changes. Delyn and the Newport ones will be very different too.
The trick will be to get a decent swing. Then there won't be any lost and a number won back.
Clear penalty but harsh for the red card. Looked ball to hand to me, which in the new rules I believe has to be a penalty still but shouldn't be a red I'd have thought.

I'm surprised they agreed to switch the order of the matches after the restart.
The original plan was for Chelsea v Citeh to kick off at 12.30 on Saturday and Liverpool v Palace at 5.30 on the same Saturday.
But it looked like the Palace game was going to be the clincher. If it wasn't for the draw against the Toffees delaying it to now it would make sense to have it decided at Anfield v Palace.

Agreed. But Corbyn’s results were likely the high water mark of the run left approach. For Starmer, it’s a case of reculer pour mieux sauter.
A challenge from the Left would be a gift to Starmer. He's gonna be another Kinnock I reckon.
Benn challenged Kinnock for the leadership in 1988, Kinnock won 88% to 11% for Benn
The wierd thing is I doubt it is a close run thing as to which one is more idolised, and idealised, among party members today.
Yes, but if Kinnock had won a general election...
One of my favourite what ifs is what would happen if Thatcher had survived the leadership challenge in 1990.
I reckon Thatcher would have doubled down and kept the poll tax and called an election in the summer of 1991 after a successful Gulf war.
As for the result, I think Kinnock may have won the election if not a majority.
I also wonder if Thatcher would have gone the extra mile and persuaded Bush Snr to finish the job and remove Saddam in GW1. Imagine if that had been done by people with an understanding of the need for a postwar plan for the country rather than a couple of morons with no idea and no interest in a stable Iraq after Saddam

Blair's unpopularity is astonishing. He's not perfect, but in this company he's a giant amongst pipsqueaks.
Leadership challenge? From the people offended at people challenging Corbyn?
Starmer trounced Long Bailey 56% to 27%, he is secure and has a mandate to cleanse the hard left from Labour
I wouldn't put it that strongly - the mandate IMO is to lead from, the centre-left, without a huge purge. We discussed it at the (online) CLP meeting this evening - one member was extremely unhappy and another dubious, but everyone else felt that Starmer needed to take a severe line on the anti-semitism issue, not least with the EHRC report coming next month (which is my view).
But I can see some left-wingers peeling off if Layla wins and moves the LibDems to the left. I can think of a couple of people who I know would consider it.

She had a profound influence on Bush Senior.
Saddam was unlucky that when he invaded Kuwait Thatcher was in America at a conference with Bush.

Bush Snr was not going to do it without UN approval, 1988-1990 was the one time we had a UK PM to the right of a Republican President. Indeed my parents had some friends in New Hampshire at the time of the Republican primary in 1992 when Buchanan was challenging Bush and some Republicans told them in the hotel lift they wished they had Thatcher as President
Ms Sultana is no stranger to sharing fake anti-Israeli propaganda..
Another one that Starmer should ensure one way or another loses the whip. When they start losing the whip the antisemitism in the Labour Party will be gone rather than hibernating.
"But the Democrats have a secret weapon in 2020 on the other side of the age spectrum: senior voters. Among this age group — voters 65 and older — polls so far this year reveal a dramatic shift to the Democrats. That could be the most consequential political development of this election."

I reckon it might start happening more.
Sky don't have absolute control of the final day fixtures anymore and if the title race goes to the last day it might happen on BT Sport again.
Did you know that the title has not changed hands on the final day without the teams involved playing each other for a very long time. I can't remember how far back you have to go, but I think it's pre-war.
So it needs something to happen that's not happened for a very long time.

When she no longer feels she can represent the UK in this way (which I hope won't be for ages), of course she will hand it over to Charles. Entertaining aboard a Royal Yacht wouldn't be anything different for the Queen - at least she gets a holiday of sorts on either side.

HMQ is unlikely to be travelling anywhere by the time any Royal Yacht is built.
If the government was really interested in using British soft power it would think about doing something about the performing arts, which are being crucified by this lockdown and which have been abandoned by the government.
Imagine there's a lot of red fireworks going off across the country tonight. Considering everyone has to be at home and nobody's at pubs yet, wish I'd thought of that LOL.

Maybe. Think my point about Germany with fewer cases being in a better place still stands however. Looking at the Swedish stats, the large numbers still in ICU is striking. 180 currently. In contrast, Scotland with half the population has just 7.
Off topic. Good to see that Jess Phillips has some solid sci-fi titles on her book shelves. Iain M Banks, Orson Scott Card, Arthur C Clark, William Gibson, Isaac Asimov, Frank Herbert,...

They have also been doing gazillions of tests in Gütersloh and Warendorf, where the Tönios abbatoir has that huge outbreak. School breaks up this week and most holiday accommodation is insisting that holiday makers from those districts can prove a cuurent negative test to be allowed to stay there.

I reckon Thatcher would have doubled down and kept the poll tax and called an election in the summer of 1991 after a successful Gulf war.
As for the result, I think Kinnock may have won the election if not a majority.
