I have just arrived at the O2 Arena in London to see Obama

It is good to have a nice US president here for a change. Is anyone else here?

The channel 4 show of Trumps lies has started here in the UK

I do not know if it available in the US. So far it seems well presented. Trump tells a lie on camera, sometimes from a simple lack of awareness. Then an explanation of the lie is presented in writing. I don’t think that I will stay up to watch it all tonight but it is worth a look.

Forget the polls, check out the betting

Betting on the US election is legal alive and well at British bookies. Kamala is the favourite https://www.oddschecker.com/politics/us-politics

Today is a bloodbath for conservatives in Britain

The constituency of Bury St Edmunds has been a Conservative Party seat since 1885. Not today, l never expected to see a labour MP there. I only wish that my father in law had lived to see this. He voted Labour there in every election with no expectation of a Labour win. We have done our bit in the UK in this election year. I wish the the same for you in November. Today I am really enjoying watching political coverage on the TV. 😁😁😁😁
