It does Net, but Will the dems go for a shut down over Covid? Stimulus money is JAn at the earliest. But then again they love their Santa rallies

Dope007: Dont worry about the USA - it spends whole decades on automatic pilot (president often different party to senate etc). Biggest UK concern has to be a reasonable Brexit deal - ideally bin brexit entirely for a year or two.

Just sold out my LLOY. Gone 80% cash again. Think we have a few hurdles to go yet and the USA is extremely highly valued

So far just about all the claims of fraud in the US have been rejected. There were a handful of claims of dead people voting, but some of those (not all) have been easily proved incorrect. The postal worker that trump lauded isn’t exactly your star witness, he’s not got a great story.



The chances of them finding 14000 bent votes, and proving they were all for Biden is nil. All this administration is doing is undermining democracy and strengthening the likes of the Chinese and Russian regimes. I expect the long term outcome will be change to the electoral college system where whoever gets the most votes countrywide wins - that would be a much better system and would severely reduce the republican chances.

The Vote Leave influence in Downing Street looks to be waning only days before U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson needs to choose whether he wants a trade accord with the European Union. Dominic Cummings and Lee Cain, two of the prime minister’s most senior advisers, are leaving Johnson’s inner circle. Both were advocates of leaving the single market without a deal if it meant making significant concessions to the bloc.

EU officials are trying to divine if the departures will lead to a change in policy, as Ian Wishart reports here. (Johnson’s spokesman, James Slack, told reporters on Friday that Cummings’s departure won’t change the U.K.’s approach to the talks.) The EU has long been spooked by the risk that the architect of the successful Leave campaign in the 2016 EU referendum would scupper any agreement at the last moment. Indeed, the pound was up on Friday as traders expressed optimism that a deal is now more likely.

But it isn’t that simple. Events of the last week were not purely a fight over Brexit strategy—they were rather a raw power battle, and an argument over the shortcomings of government communications during the pandemic. Next week’s deadline in the negotiations with the EU may have influenced the timing of the row, but it did not define it.

Some things have not changed. The deadline hasn’t budged: The U.K.’s membership of the EU single market expires at year-end, and any agreement to replace it needs to be struck and ratified in good time. Cummings will be in Downing Street until the year-end. Johnson still doesn’t have a chief of staff. Had Brexiter Cain succeeded in getting that job, he and Cummings might have been in a stronger position to push for no deal. Equally, even as the pandemic takes its toll on the U.K. economy there isn’t a pro-deal figure in post to push the prime minister to make unpalatable but necessary compromises with Brussels.

David Frost, the U.K.'s chief negotiator, is also staying put. Like the prime minister, he wants a deal—but not at any price. The distractions of the past week may have only obscured the fact that Johnson still has to make his choice. Time, as well as space to maneuver, is running out

ste yorks , Thursday, November 12, 2020, 14:33:oh dear AJ, the referendum was 'advisory' in the same way the elections are advisory !, maybe you should just ignore democracy in your little remainer world ?, if you want to be ruled over by unelected unaccountable 'leaders' immune from prosecution perhaps you should try north Korea, or the EU in a decade or two?, do you long for the recreation of 1930's germany? Democracy and freedom is always more important than money, if you voted remain based on money scares then i pity you.

Actually maybe excellent idea for Cummings to have a break and holiday for a bit. Until later.No DealWTO

Stuart Ashen 13 Nov 2020 1:50PMThe EU make me laugh. They are really clutching at straws if they believe Boris will now U-turn as DC leaves. Brexit is the one thing he needs to deliver on, a hard Brexit at that. Anything less will destroy his support.

I hope he suffered first!

[kkclimber56] 13/11/2020 13:48

Tory back benches make me sick. The only reason they have a job is because of the promises Boris and Cummings made to try and level up the UK. Now they want rid so the establishment can resume its elitist approach to running the country.If the steady decline of the UK is to be reversed we need people like Johnson and Cummings who are prepared to challenge the establishment and break the mould.
