    Disclaimer: this is not a comment on his politics Once you start hearing it, Boris Johnson's pronouncing of words with an "out" sound as rhyming with kite, might, tight, etc is SO annoying. Not helped by appointment of Lord Geidt. Sounds like a posh person saying Lord Gout.

    It was no secret that news of Biden's victory went down very well in Brussels, which had been exhausted by the turbulence of Donald Trump. It might only be 100 days in, but the window to rebuild the transatlantic alliance beyond breaking is very small

    Tl;dr: Brussels is optimistic, but very aware that if US politics takes a swing to the right, Biden will have to go all in on domestic policy. That could happen far sooner than people realise

    On the whole Brussels is upbeat. Calls between the US admin and EU officials are taking place on a daily basis and they are coordinating on lots. Curiously, the EU is framing this as welcoming American back into the fold, which might be an overstatement

    The EU's focus is to convince US institutions of the benefits of Western multilateralism. A specific example raised was tackling poverty in areas where terror groups are active, making joining such groups less attractive

    The window is small because realistically, the midterm cycle starts at the start of next year. A poor Democrat performance raises fears of Trump 2.0 or, the biggest fear, a run from Pompeo.

    "The right honourable member is a lawyer or so I understand" is very very rude way to address a former director of public prosecution whatever you think of his politics.

    For those saying "big deal who cares about electoral commission" yeah fair enough. But drip drip drip, every politician has a point where they get sufficiently soaked in scandal they are completely weighed down There ends my take on Boris Johnson and the electoral commission
