I think Trump would have edged it if Joe had tripped over his dog a month ago. Real old man stuff.
I mean not hearing of Rita Ora, I bet you've never heard of Dua Lipa either.
She was probably the best thing about going to Kyiv in 2018.
I suppose the interesting question is whether Biden's will influence Georgia.
I have to say, I doubt it, for two reasons. First, there's more than a month left to go, and the boost may be ephemeral, and, second, I've yet to hear any of the Democrats or Independents I know over there express any enthusiasm whatsoever for Biden, except as Mr Not-Trump.
So our midfield would have been Xhaka Can, XHAKA CAN.
Edit again - I was expecting Dua to be a bloke for some reason.
Vote LibDem - get rid of your grandparents.
I am hearing reports of horse-drawn carriages being phased out in favour of self-propelling vehicles.
Obviously fake news.
(As I posted yesterday the LDs seem to have made an early start on London Mayor campaigning - that's where Sir Ed could usefully employ his talents)
Of course it might go the other way, torturing small animals and graduating to psychopathic serial murders. Here's hoping it's the former.
One gains the distinct impression that they would like everybody put under house arrest until next Summer - which, in due course, is what they'll probably get.
Ps. This is true of IDS and LOTO also.

The Tories need to own this economic clusterf*ck lock stock and barrel.
He is the f***ing LOTO. What LOTO has in history twice supported a government which otherwise might have been defeated?
Starmer won't be more powerful after the votes - he'll be thrust back into the usual irrelevance that an LOTO has facing a government with a large majority. All he'll have done will have been to enable the government to get key policies through Parliament.
Not as many laughs as the original so far.
Because I really didn't want that as an image in my head.
For Iraq the govt was apparently privy to information that, they said, placed the UK in direct harm's way. As such, given the information Lab was disseminating (later shown to be a pack of lies, obvs) it would have been impossible for the Cons to oppose.
Here, although there is threat also, there are no known unknowns. There is a trajectory of the disease under certain scenarios, which have been made public by every epidemiologist able to speak into a microphone, and an associated economic cost. Again, well modelled by many parties.

That's how much power Starmer has.
Probably pick a few brownie points with the NYT etc by calming the situation. Even though some transition teams are working, the situation can't be good for the US.
“They want to decide what we can eat. Now they want to choose who we can love.”
A new law approved by the ruling Hindu nationalist party this week has set the stage for a crackdown on interfaith marriages. (2)
Poised to become law within days in Uttar Pradesh, home to almost 240 million people, the new legislation will impose jail terms of up to ten years for anyone convicted of using marriage to force their partner to change religion. (3)
The law mentions no particular faith but there is little doubt of its main target.
Government officials warn of “love jihad”: the conspiracy theory of an alleged plot by Muslim men to convert Hindu women to Islam through marriage. (4)
Because a warm feeling for having done the right thing is nice, but it doesn't butter any parsnips.
And the knowledge that there are several dozen irresponsible idiots on the Conservative benches shouldn't be news to anyone, even Bozza.
Injuries to the bones in the feet are easily done, I was in a walking boot for five months last autumn after sustaining a hairline fracture to my large metatarsal in an innocuous encounter with a football. I'm in my forties.
It's literally an unlucky break in most cases, but you right go ahead and be waspish about it.
It is his job to tell the government that anything they are doing his party could do better. From Brexit, to Covid response, to schools, hospitals, you name it.
That, surely, has got to be written on the first pager of the Leader of the Opposition 1.01 manual?
I mean even Jeremy effing Corbyn realised this.
It's despicable, but from his perspective rational - only he matters, so anything is permissable.
From case data
From hospital admissions data
Odd post.
Should Labour MPs not have voted for gay marriage because they were in opposition when it was proposed? Or did they vote for it whilst still being able to insist they could do a better job on equality issues?
Even an opposition doesn't just oppose all the time as there are plenty of things sides will actually agree about, or there might only be one viable option available, which might need to be taken without sacrificing the ability to condemn the government for getting in that position.
He's listing one of the many benefits of vaccination.
So we have gone from all students getting tested to as many as possible. This isn't good enough. This should have been absolute priority to have them all tested and then sent home as soon as they are negative.
Because whist this will be a bad deal in any realistic sense, it's unlikely to be A Bad Deal in the "No Deal is better than A Bad Deal" sense.
He is every day ceding ground and the initiative to the Cons.
In 12-18 or 36 months time:
SKS: The Cons got it very badly wrong over Covid and Brexit.
Everyone: If it was so badly wrong why did you support it?
