A summary of just how bad our American friends have it:

All just SO un-American... /s

Anyway, by the time King Donald has finished bringing about 'The Rapture' via the Middle East (much to the delight of the Evangelical Hard Right, no doubt) I doubt any of that will matter anyway. Maybe that's what he meant by "you'll never have to vote again"...

Well, there'd be no Democrats or Republicans. After all, the USA would no longer be a democracy nor a republic.

Just in case you've missed this never ending source of jaw dropping lunacy.

I see we’re back to the same number of wars we were having a fortnight ago. Hooray?

The fact this post is out of date again the same morning is thoroughly depressing

I'm pleased this guy beat Andrew Cuomo, but I think the reaction that the result "shakes MAGA world" may be a bit of an overreaction.

A progressive won a mayoral primary in NYC? Get back to me when one wins a senate election in North Carolina.

They have their very own Sadiq Khan.

[Tubby Isaacs]

Mamdani is proposing to run a chain of city-owned grocery stores to reduce costs to consumers. Food prices in the US are surprisingly high, but I can anticipate that eating up a lot of money he doesn't have before he gets to free kindergarten and free buses. Seems like he needs the New York State Government to fund some of this. That sounds like the best card the Republicans in the state could have. The Democrat State Governor is already not a fan.

Sadiq isn't out on a limb like this, and UK local government doesn't allow him to be. Aside from school meals (where the boroughs have had to chip in) he doesn't make big promises like this. He accepts that he doesn't have enough money to make buses free- why doesn't Mandani just make them cheap, why free? That would still be positive and more affordable.

I can foresee a crashing and burning, or perhaps a Mitterrand like shift away from the original platform.

But I am still very pleased he beat Andrew Cuomo, even if I fear we haven't heard the last from him.
