  1. Nothing wrong with them. Newish lender, but been doing stuff for around five years now. Every year they have a month when they are the lowest around and do nothing the rest of the year. But no reason not to use them. All done via their app though, so not one for the technophobic. As long as you are comfortable with that though, fill your boots.
  2. Might have been part of it. But it mainly the Realpolitik of deciding that anglo/US relations were a bigger priority for him than domestic criticism (and basic morality).
  3. The Magnitzky legislation was very good and very important. Surprisingly the pet-project of Dominic Raab, to show that he is only mostly hopeless rather than completely hopeless.

    Your concern is touching, but it'll be fine.

    Given she lives in St Albans I guess she'll just have to take her chances with the extradition system then.

    My wife's step-mum sent me a picture of her completed "Biden / Harris" ballot which she posted back today. So that's one down.

    White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany is the latest to test positive.
  9. "So we're sure this is a good idea?" "Definitely, it's celebrating black history. What could go wrong?" "Slavery was hard and so is this"

    Some pretty positive early voting numbers . Some places are already at 15-20% of their total 2016 vote.

    It is fun that the conspiracy is both "he obviously doesn't have it, it's just a ploy to help his reelection campaign for some unclear reason" and also "he's not getting better, it's clear that he's actually about to snuff it and he's just being propped up like a fat Weekend At Bernie's".

    I'd be pretty scared of getting it if I had his er...dimensions.

    Given one of the symptoms is a loss of taste, I assumed he'd always had it.

    Every poll is going to have its flaws. I'd say the best thing is to look at what they said about the 2016 race at the same time and see how that translated to the result. Around this time in 2016 most polls had Clinton 2-3 points ahead nationally, which is how it finished up - but state polling was more off last time. Whether that has been corrected this time...? On the small margins, they're not actually that small in real terms. (The 538 poll aggregate, tipping point is where the 270th electoral college vote comes from). So as things stand Biden has four or five states of leeway. Florida has got a lot worse for Biden, but Ohio, Georgia and Iowa have got worse for Trump. Trump's lead in Texas is shakier than Biden's lead in Arizona which Trump won last time. And in the next month he needs to turn some of that blue into red. In the last six weeks it's not moved much at all.
