Harris has about as much chance as I have of winning, if she stood, and I'm not eligible.
Thanks for the USA election process info - so finances allowing, it's relatively free reign. I apologise regarding Harris. I've been largely ignorant to most of what has been going on since she has been in office. And of what I have seen from time to time usually just focuses on Biden or the baffling {to me} reemergence of Trump. Which lead me then to me questioning, why then would Harris not even get close to winning? Has she really been that bad? By default she takes over if Biden is unwell/dies/can no longer serve etc. So is she really a poor/awful politician? I can't say I've seen {in what is limited, either by my own lack of viewing or not as much coverage} much bad press about her. Alternatively, is it in part because she's both a female and person of colour which holds her back in the still much white privileged and male dominated free world? |

She has essentially managed to be a non-entity, enabling the Republicans to call her what they wish and for Democrats to largely forget about her. What she has done in public has, mostly, been a bit error prone. I think she did well in the previous election Primaries because she debated well and wouldn't back down, but she does not strike me as a good politician. Right now, the Democrats are letting Biden go because nobody else fancies the career ending prospect of losing to Trump. They will keep their powder dry and go for it in 4 years time. If the current trend remains, then it will Gavin Newsome who takes the front runners seat I think. Four years is a long time, but no idea who the Republicans go for then. Most of this years crop showed themselves to be pretty limp.

UK entered recession at the end of 2023. I wonder if this’ll bring forward our GE?

I was listening to some new Minister for Illegal Immigration still banging on about Rwanda.
Just how do they think a couple of hundred illegal migrants are going to happily board a plane to dump them in Rwanda?
If there is to be site outside of the UK to process claims surely it should be in France.

Gotta have a willing partner and an incentive to have a "processing centre". You'd hope Rwanda didn't just got a VIP lane to be our processing partner and alternatives were looked at (the UK wouldn't have been too bad an option imo, it also supports create jobs)
You do also need to have a legal process that doesn't involve being thought up by Schrödinger, to claim asylum.

Talking of Scargill, who saw that fantastic documentary about the miner’s strike the other evening. What a bunch of bastards those coppers were.

If you went to Mansfield you wouldn’t need a documentary to tell you that |

I was there. Think they were practising on us - or just venting their anger. |
