No, we shouldn't mention politics, but I am very very interested. Anyone who isn't has no right to complain when things get, well, worse.
I am engrossed in the UK elections.
While Italy has a conservative government, France is getting one, the USA and Australia will have one, the UK is getting a socialist government.
Quite extraordinary.

The Conservatives had held power for 14 years in the UK Murray

I'm inclined to think that the mandate from the elcctorate was more a protest as to how they've governed in recent years moreso than Labour "winning".

Either way, the end result is the same today

Starmer has won with a lower percentage of the votes than Jeremy Corbin got when he lost in 2015. It is the lowest percentage of the votes that any incoming prime minister has won. The liberal leader is an absolute prat. All you’ve seen from him over the last few weeks is him playing games and singing and dancing.

Today Joe said that Trump is vice president.
The press gallery were, understandably, stunned, since they must be Biden enthusiasts to be there. :D
Trump is now $1.50 :D

Unconfirmed reports a far left extremist was the shooter who wounded Trump and one other and killed a spectator.
Things are gonna get wild! Americans have had a total guts full of this.
Bookies have Trump at $1.40.
Biden, write your own ticket. $6.50 and blowing out.

It is quite scary really as it impacts the rest of us too !!
The fact that everybody over there seems so surprised that someone wanted to assassinate him is even more worrying lol 😂🤠😂

The irony is, the left have been portraying the Donald as a threat to democracy.

Hello?
