"Aides use nicknames for each other such as ?Caino?, ?Sonic? and ?Roxstar?. " Sorry but that's enough for them all to be sacked IMHO

He's gone all grey. Is that planned or is he that stressed he forgot to dye it.

I get EE fraud emails and I'm with EE which is why I reported that one (even though I deleted the first few emails - some people might fit the victim profile and fall for it). I actually checked my EE payment - on the app NOT the link on the email - the first time before realising.

Oh.. I was being sarcastic about Boris saving us from Brexit/Covid. I hope it's the beginning of a change of direction though.

There must be a previous thread but he's walked out of Downing Street with a box of his belongings and he won't be coming back Hurray Hurray Hurray :) Will Boris now become the PM he was always meant to be and save the country from Coronavirus and Brexit.

Hey Joe, Joe you've got 43 missed calls from Boris Johnson. Okay I'll ring him.

There's no evidence of anything - they're just trying to keep Trump happy and it's far too late - Biden's not going now. Could you imagine the chaos.

He doesn?t believe that ?a candidate as doddering and lazy as Joe Biden? could out-perform Barack Obama who ?boasted rock star appeal?. There were too many ballots cast just for Joe Biden without filling out the Senate and House races. States haven?t been rejecting enough mail-in ballots compared to historic levels." Points 1-3 of them can be answered by many people really really really hate Trump. Point 4 - Probably in % terms and we are in a pandemic and a lot of people stayed at home to vote and took extra care over that vote. Here's the Cortes article in some right wing mag. https://thenationalpulse.com/news/case-against-biden-win/

So if you open up this (Boris congrats to Biden) save the picture, lighten it up a bit and look above the BIDEN word - You can see TRUMP :)

If they improve the actual statistics but people still feel like they are being picked out - that's still an issue IMHO.

Painting cycle lanes is not what the guidance says though - they must be segregated and existing painted ones will also be replaced by segregated ones eventually. https://inews.co.uk/news/politics/cycle-lanes-road-traffic-segregation-england-safety-575846 Maybe we could build up :)

Then you've got Alaska and North Carolina from that link. At the moment only the second Georgia seat is Democrat and the only chance for a second is the other Georgia seat .... I think.

George W has now said the vote was fair and congratulated Biden although W is now closer to the Obama's than Trump.

What is he going on about now. ?We believe these people are thieves. The big city machines are corrupt. This was a stolen election. Best pollster in Britain wrote this morning that this clearly was a stolen election, that it?s impossible to imagine that Biden outran Obama in some of these states."

He has a 40 year history of cross floor collaboration. It's very difficult not to know what he's about and in his speech last night that's what he emphasised.

Apparently they're drawing straws about who will go in and talk to him. Someone will have to.
