I have never been so outraged and pissed at the Democratic Party than I am today.

75. You know, all those old guys w dementia who have a masterful grasp of global politics.

That was one of the most ridiculous posts I’ve read on DU. Was writing a long reply when it was deleted.

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz says it's a "big mistake to underestimate" Biden.

"As someone that is speaking with Biden, he's very focused... doing what the president of the United States has to do…”

🚨 BREAKING: Despite speculation about President Biden's health, Prime Minister Keir Starmer praises President Biden as being in "excellent shape" following their meeting at a NATO summit.

Starmer commended Biden's leadership and detailed understanding of issues, countering calls for the President to step down.

Sir Keir Starmer says criticism of Joe Biden is 'misguided' after holding a meeting with the US president at the NATO summit.

'My own personal view is he was on good form, and we went through a lot,' Sir Keir told Sky's @BethRigby

When I asked him about President Biden's cognitive ability in light of the storm around whether he should run for a second term, the prime minister was forthright.

"We worked at pace and he was on good form with me," said Sir Keir.

When I asked him, twice, whether the criticism of the president was misguided, he told me, simply, "yes", adding: "My own personal view is he was on good form and we went through a lot.

"I was very keen obviously to discuss Ukraine, but there were many other issues that we, we got through last night."

With a successful visit to the White House, hugs from President Macron, and meetings with Chancellor Schloz and President Zelenskyy to name a few of those Sir Keir has managed to greet in the past 48 hours, the trip will go down as a triumph in Number 10, with aides particularly pleased - as the prime minister noted in our interview - that the bilateral meeting with President Biden overran.
