In 8 days time in the state of Georgia there are critical elections which will have a huge impact on how the US is governed at the start of the Biden administration. For on November 3rd the Democrats failed to win control of the Senate but there are two seats outstanding in the state of Georgia. One was a regular election that comes round for every 6 years and the other was a special election for a seat that had become vacant. In neither case did a candidate achieve 50%+ and under Georgia law there has to be a run off of the top two.

Liverpool were playing without Salah and other players earlier this season.

I made a similar point at the end of that thread - you see that difference not just in the UK but across Europe. The same was true about Switzerland too, along with the UK one of the only nations not to have been occupied by a foreign power since the start of the 20th century.
Some evidence that ERASMUS is expensive if you are a comparatively rich, non-member of the EU comes from the experience of Switzerland.

The Swiss were thrown out in 2014, they then organized their own scheme. Once the Swiss had resolved their immigration issues with the EU, there were plans to rejoin.
"One stumbling block is money: Brussels is demanding Switzerland pay a higher contribution to the scheme’s budget than the alpine country has already approved for its interim solution."
My guess is that if UKRI or the Research Councils or the RS/RSE run the Turing Exchange, it will be fine and cheaper than ERASMUS (so more students can benefit for the same money).
EU research schemes tend to spend a lot of money on administration, so like the Swiss found, it is cheaper to run your own.

Clearly they're an edge case, and it's hard to imagine that any disadvantage that they now find won't be fixed.
Ask me who will win I'd say the Republican duo, but at anything better than 6/4 the Dems would be the value.
Most "boycott Georgia" "GOP" Tweets seem for once to be genuinely false flag Tweets by Democrats mocking Republicans.
That account certainly appears to be a parody rather than real.

But if you look back to early November before the election the Tweeting is 100% anti-Trump. So yes an anti-Trump account is now posing as a pro-Trump "boycott the election MAGA" one - that took me a few moments to check. 🤦🏻♂️

America is wide open to the radical left. This will sink in when Purdue and Loeffler are defeated handily because of low turnout.
The republican civil war will then intensify as the blame game for this huge, totally pivotal defeat starts.
By the time there is any resolution at all it will be way, way too late. There will be up to 20 million more American citizens and millions more on the way. No prizes for guessing which way they will vote.
2022? 2024? 3024 more like.
It's the only way to deal with common fish dressed up as trout.
How long, do you think, before the world twigs the republicans are never going to win?
That can NEVER be the case.
I suspect they will have to forfeit the Rumblelows Cup semi final next week against Manchester United as it appears to be a major breach of their bubble.
So Ole gets past a semi for the first time as United manager.
Or how about once the Republicans have twice in recent memory won the popular vote but lost the election?
Asking for a friend.

That's all I'm saying.
Sweden is a more Eurosceptic semi divorced outside like the UK was pre Brexit, as you said outside of the Eurozone.
From case data
From hospitalisation data
One certainly hopes so.
Second worst President of all time. Only Andrew Jackson was worse.
The outrage is largely coming from a collection of the firmly middle class and affluent anti-Brexit folk – TV broadcasters and QCs among them. They had been on Erasmus themselves and expected it to be a rite of passage for their children and their children’s children, not least for the advantage it will likely give them in the labour market. But I worked with thousands of young people for nearly two decades before I became an MP and almost none of them had taken part in Erasmus. It wasn’t that they did not study languages or go to good universities – many did. Rather, it was that the young people we worked with were from low-income families.

A majority (three quarters) of the exports are on the 6% tariff, and that is squid going to Spain caught substantially by Spanish fishermen, so license fees could rise to cover the difference.
Or what are the tariffs on fish caught outside UK waters by UK businesses? Register Falklands boats in the UK, perhaps - or in Spain :-) .
Solutions will appear.

Whether its true or not doesn't matter. As part of their folklore it is absolutely true.
11-0 and we'd have gone top.
So unfair.
On the previous thread you said to conquer England you should have the first name Julius or William.
Leaving aside Sweyn Forkbeard, have you forgotten that Julius Caesar actually failed in both his attempted invasions of Britannia? So actually the first name you need is Flavius, not Julius.
Edit - that’ll teach me to post without checking. I thought Vespasian was in command of the force, but at that time he was only Legatus of II Augusta and Aulus Plautius was the overall commander.
So Aulus experts got it wrong...
After all, look what's happened to the south since Tier IV was introduced.
You can't really object to the truth. Happily.
Jackson was vile for the Trail of Tears and the contempt he showed to the SCOTUS and Congress leading to his impeachment. Trump is a mini Jackson - he has as much respect for others, the courts, democracy and norms as Jackson did but he lacks the ability to get into as much trouble as Jackson did.
Perhaps next week we'll try pilchards.
The Republicans WILL win again, of course they will. It's a 2 party system. If the country moves Left the Republicans will shift Left to get in play. That's how it works.
The GOP "shifting left" is quite easy too. It's rather like Brian Blessed dropping a couple of decibels. Much scope.
They were guilty, and I haven’t seen them since.

I hope they received a fair trawl.
On a more serious note, my NHS in London sources tell me that things are looking much worse than they did in the April peak. On the verge of being overwhelmed - like then - but this time the numbers are feared to be building not in retreat.

And of course, there were three successful invasions of England around the fifteenth century - 1399, 1471 and 1485. But all of these had significant additional domestic support in England, in a way that (say) William the Conqueror did not.
...but send the kids to school, regardless.
