    An Australian-style free trade deal with the EU means no free trade deal with the EU. And all the catastrophic job losses that entails. has a duty to cut through Number 10's spin and avoid parroting their dishonest euphemisms in headlines.

  2. but broadcast journalists ( and others) do now need to be up to speed on hard economic facts of impact of non existent Oz deal or no deal on various sectors of economy to be able to follow up on these ritual parrot chirps

  3. sometimes political parroting / stuck recordism makes even clever politicians staggeringly stupid ( or else disgracefully disingenuous)

    Think about this: — Iowa is 90.7% white — Iowa is now the only state with a lifetime voting ban for people with a felony conviction — Black people make up 4% of Iowa's population but 26% of its prison population How is this representative of our electorate?

    Ah, those lectures delivered at such speed and with such range, and no more than a single card index of notes. He and Ricks were the only two who could do it ...

  8. There IS no "Australian" deal to contrast with Canada.. the negotiations got going in summer of 2018 still ongoing and btw include common environmental regulations - as usual Johnson dim and lazy about basic homework; not a PM more a living waffle

    The strategy for Johnson is clearly to keep in a constant state of battle. He needs grit in his oyster, without it people might realise he's just expensive slop.

    Gave it everything he had. He’ll be remembered and honoured for his commitment and passion, and an eloquence rarely married to such clarity.

    Trump accusing Sanders of being too pro-Moscow is almost as amazing as Trump accusing Biden of over-promoting under-talented sons. Next he'll attack one of the women candidates for wearing too much makeup and too tight a girdle.

    I love more that the woman recorded the exchange thinking she was in the right to defend Trump as not being a sexual predator lol. That backfired!

  13. If anyone wants to walk back (painfully perhaps) down Iowa caucus memory lane, my American Future: A History opens in the Thomas Jefferson High School, Des Moines 2008 where it was stunningly clear to all of us there that Barack Obama would be the nominee..

  14. saddened to hear of the passing of George Steiner - a colossus of impassioned thought and critical vision. First heard him on Moliere in my first term at Cambridge and imagined all lectures on literature would be as intensely inspiring..

    “Among those who refused the briefing and walked out included the BBC’s Laura Kuenssberg, ITV’s Robert Peston and political journalists from the Daily Mail, Telegraph, the Sun, Financial Times, and Guardian.” Well done and about time before you create a mirror image of Trumpland

  16. This is so much THE crux on which the fate of the Republic and its constitution hang it is truly astonishing that the Dem candidates (perhaps with exception of Biden) don't want to make it the great determining issue of the election

  17. I really wish Adam Schiff would run for President; yes I know he will some day but some day will be too late

  18. Controlling media access is a common thread between Trump and Johnson. Both mask creeping authoritarianism (Miller, Cummings) with milk-the-laughs theatrical bluster - the rally rant for Trump; the rumpled joker for Johnson,but behind the mask it's sinister

  19. If hi-jacking national security for personal interest and inviting foreign influence in elections is "nothing wrong", then there is nothing left of American constitutional democracy other than raw, corrupted power.
