    US Politics Thread

    Agree. Presidents are elected by the 10ish swing states that will flip blue or red. Appealing to those states is tricky and I'm not sure Mandami does. And even if he did. The US has a massive and growing fiscal problem. You can't go into the next election promising to spend more money. The...

    Andy Burnham | Manchester Mayor

    Agree. It's a tiresome game the media play with these questions. He can't say yes can he? What I don't get is if he genuinely wants the top job. How does he get there from being a mayor. He'd have to resign and win a seat asan MP. He can't do that quietly without anyone noticing.

    President Trump

    Putin is rapidly running out of everything. Ending the war without any significant victory was seen as an unacceptable option for Vlad. But it might be starting to look like the best of some bad options. Zalenski has the uper hand here. He's bombed the Russian domestic oil industry to a stand...

    Dementia

    My parents are on a similar path. My Dad is quite bad but has my mum to constantly keep him occupied and out of trouble. It's a big drain on my mum, without her my dad would deteriorate rapidly, so the future is looking bleak. My grandad went a similar way. He ended up in various homes...

    The FTSE

    Weirdly that has been happening, its been a bumper year for IHT planning and people sorting out their finances/investments. You would think that might be a drag as people cash in and hand money to their kids but the markets keep pumping. Part of the story may be the debasment of the dollar by...
