What should the left make of the US election result?
What should we make of the election result? My responses as the results have rolled in have varied from fear to hope to optimism to happiness to what the f&*k happened? I am pleased, so pleased that Trump lost. But why was it even close? …

Lawyers, guns and money
Over in the United States of America the country is descending into chaos. But so far the farcical type of chaos as opposed to the violent type of chaos and this is a good thing. Trump is refusing to concede and still claims that the…

President Biden and Vice President Harris.
At last. All of the main US media organisations have now called the election for for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris - including Fox News. Pennsylvania with its 20 electorate votes went past the 0.5% to Biden and the lead shows no signs of reducing.…
