Ah, okay. Why QPR if you're from Watford may I hypocritically ask, considering my daughter is from York, but supports Liverpool?
Dad’s team. Never had a choice. Hardly anyone at school in the 90s/00s was Watford.

Who does everyone fancy for the US election next month then?
I'd have said Trump was a shoo in if it were against Biden, but Kamala polls better than the old man did so its gonna be more of a competition this time around.
Am routing for Trump, not because of any policies of his but purely because it will provide hours of entertainment watching radical left wingers losing their **** on Youtube. Was far and away the best thing about Trump winning in 2016 was watching videos of people frothing at the mouth and crying like ******s.

Neither, I've lost interest.
Although the slightly younger 'white' woman has to be better than the really old white guy surely!
I'm for abortions rather than dictating or preaching to women what they can or can't do with their bodies. I'd much prefer there wasn't abortions, but I would never dictate to a woman that they can't or shouldn't go that route. So does that fit into either of the candidates views? I'm totally against people who stand outside abortion clinics preaching.
I've heard that Trump would be happy to have a fight with Iran, I'm happy with that to, but it dosen't make it right, me being a looney is fine, a president being a looney is not so good.
I think being able to have good diplomatic relations with the UK is important, which one most fits that bill...in a sensible mature and professional manner? ok, ok I just ruled out Trump lol.
I aint got a clue...I need to know more about them really tbph.
Like I said, its not my country so I dont giving a flying you know what about any of that, I just like to watch the backlash.
And no one melts down better than ultra radical feminist soyboys and girls.

He was the only one I would have backed, fook em stupid bastards. That Jenrick can fook right off.
I don't think people have really grasped just what Project 2025 is - it's basically the 1933 Nazi Enabling Act (Gleischaltung) with go-faster stripes. Bannon has been busy at work packing election officials into swing states who all owe fielty to MAGA, so there'll be no more Brad Rafenspergers in the likes of Georgia standing up to trump (something Trump was blatantly due to go to prison over, let alone Jan 6th).
I get that some see the comedy value of trump, and it's some sort of performance art to the likes of John Lydon and other aesthetes who value performance over content, but I suspect they'll be squealing along with all the liberals they despise when trump has turned the US into a crypto-fascist state, and the freedoms they take for granted now are a thing of the past - kicking minorities and foreigners will be scant consolation.
I said after the Biden debate debacle that all was lost, and the assassination attempt further hardened that. Harris has done well to overcome that gap and become 3/4% ahead in the national polls, but due to the vagaries of the US electoral college she needs to be at least 6/7% ahead - Biden was 8% in some polls on the eve of the 2020 election, and although winning the popular vote by over 3m, he barely squeaked through in some swing states. Harris is ahead in 5 of the key swing states, but barely by 1/2% in most of them - I doubt it will be enough.
Trump's plan is to concentrate on getting 45/46%, knowing that that was enough to defeat Hilary, and that will be close enough in the swing states so that even if he loses them he can claim they won them, and drag every result through the courts right up to the SCOTUS, having learned from 2020 that he needs all the election official on his side this time (and they will be).
How will it change our lives here? When the US goes into insular protectionism, then the whole world (or at least the Western Liberal democracies) always suffer. Mark my words, those who think politics doesn't affect their lives, and that the US is far away and it doesn't matter, will be joining the crying liberal lefties sooner or later. And the thought of that fat jerk Musk running the world eventually fills me with utter horror.

Tories are in a catch 22, there are seats the Liberals won that are not going to vote for a further right Tory. They're more "one nation Conservative" seats. Or, sane Tory seats.
Whilst boozed up, seaside ****holes with a dying population of residents and a youth fleeing to universities are not going to be voting for a soft middle ground fella.
They want someone dressed like they're ready for a fox hunt screaming about the boozer being shut cos of these dirty Romanians.

Unbelievable Jeff!!! ... just when you thought the Tories couldn't get any more ridiculous they narrow their next leadership choice down to plum A or plum B
Sounds to me there was some tactical voting going on by the Tories and it blew up their faces.
Some voters went tactically and in the process unexpectedly knocked out their own man, you really couldn't make this shhite up, utter twats.
Seems like The Guardian agrees as well: https://www.theguardian.com/politic...y-the-likely-cause-of-cleverlys-surprise-exit

I'm looking at a man who knows that if he comes close enough - as close as last time - he'll have enough ammunition to cause an either bigger ****storm than last time. I've just read a book on the 1876 election, and when it was this close then the price of Rutherford Hayes keeping the Republicans in office was to abandon Reconstruction in the South, and thus enable segregation and the Jim Crow laws. If Trump can get out of this with a pardon he'll drop all his promises to the Jan 6th rioters in jail and build his empire of MAGA grift, whilst still being the ayatollah of the Republican Party. I'd expect Don jr or Eric to run in 2028 in that case.
that all said, I still think he'll do a Hilary again - Harris' figures are closer to Clinton's than Biden's, unfortunately (I say).
