He is wrong. Sanders will knock out Warren in New Hampshire and get the left liberal vote behind him while the Clinton coalition will divide between moderates for Biden and African Americans for Harris. Remember too Reagan was runner up for the GOP nomination in 1976 but won it in 1980
If anyone wants to see a town centre which is doing well then go to York.
It was like the Saturday before Christmas there today and its not a cheap place either.
Some people might be having a drop of austerity but there are many, many others who are wallowing in their own consumption.
Yup, was there for for the York marathon (spectator). A good, busy and smart city.
Its a bit too touristy and expensive for my liking buts its always a good place to visit and has loads of great pubs.
What was noticeable to me was how many more restaurants there seemed to be and York has never been short of them.
For all the talk of austerity there are many, many people with lots and lots of spare money.
One thing York does very well is having events staggered throughout the year to draw in the tourists. This weekend is the middle of the Jorvik Festival which draws in tens of thousands of extra people from all of the country as well as a lot from Scandinavia.
York is probably my favourite city weekend destination.
In three weeks time it will be invaded by thousands of Lib Dems - it's their spring conference at the Barbican.
