It's almost like having your health department spend vast sums on your campaign to re-elect rather than on a public health campaign is a bad idea. This is the sort of thing that happens in dictatorships. It will likely astonish that Trump envisaged his commercials would feature the most famous of f...

There is some good news. It seems likely the Trump campaign decision to have the US health service spend over $250m on commercials between now and the election (and ones that would have a lot in common with campaign commercials) telling America it was good news, Covid is over, and all thanks be to D...

Indeed more like 400k with pension and benefits nothing like a mill. 'tis a decent benefits package they're on to more than double a salary £400K is still an exaggeration - his 'package' was nearly £195K - not sure what it included but probably didn't include pension which is a fairly substantial b...

The white supremacy moment was Trump’s biggest fumble and self-inflected wound of the evening. It was a perfect softball for him to say “I already have and let me repeat it. In one voice, our nation must condemn racism, bigotry and white supremacy. These sinister ideologies must be defeated. Hate h...

BBC had an interview the a council member from Ascension Island that played on today's Today episode. If you want to listen to it merely view their schedule and select today's episode to listen to the show. I'd estimate approx 0% as being made up. Also even if it had been entirely made up, ignoring...

There's a f**king great airforce base there. They wouldn't need to ask the Ascension government. There's also some signals intelligence and an EUSA rocket tracking station.

The defence that Patel isn't due criticism because a consultation was merely a study did make me chortle a little. If that is the case I'm happy to call it a shit study and not remotely of the required standard rather than a shit consultation and not remotely of the required standard.

How do you know that? Journalists are going to journal. And they went with a very clever idea in this instance, they rang Ascension Island and asked them what they thought of the plans and were given the answer 'what plans?' Maybe Patel can stipulate this is what happens when you hire racist homoph...

There was plenty of movement in the states the last time e.g. after Comey I think Hillary was toxic though to a lot of undecided voters. Also a lot of the Bernie voters from the primaries hated her as well. Biden is a lot more bland but more neutral which could pick up a lot of undecided voters. Tr...

Agreed. Modelling is not even a forecast as there are innumerable, unquantifiable variables. The 7.6% headline figure was based on "no deal". The LSE report has taken into account BoE quarterly forecasts pre and post Covid and HMG's own 2018 modelling variables. My guess is that there will be a dea...

The only prediction re brexit posted a rather wild 7% GDP loss over 15 years (it was widely questioned as being exaggerated). Covid lost 20% of GDP in 3 months. These are hardly comparable.
