Data from 19th to 21st, so before Biden stepped down as candidate

Polls are still wrong, if you look at the graphs the 18-34 years voting records have comfortable been 10-20 points ahead for the democrats for the last 4 - 5 decades. And also over 65 year olds are definitely majority pro Trump.

Also anyone watch the Labour drive by hit job by Laura Kuennsberg last night? I used to dismiss the claims until relatively recently, and it was the "Congratulations I suppose" to Ed Davey that was shameful.

Well this one was dreadful, it was like a Tory mp commenting on Labour's first two weeks, away from her received pronunciation, she sounds like one of those suburban London Tories. It's one thing to have critical lines of questioning a la Paxman. It's another to just act like a surly schoolgirl called out by the teacher. Nick Robinson was head of the young conservatives and he was never half this bad.

I've been entertained by Dorries' and Russell Brand's bizarre rantings today.

Word salad doesn't do the nonsense justice.

If you want to "enjoy" the utter rubbish, here is Brand: nitter.poast.org

The bit that people have been clipping is the 7th paragraph which his attempted takedown of Harris and doesn't say what he thinks it says, because he's pretending to be clever by using long words (incorrectly).

And here is the utterly lunacy of the Dorries rant: nitter.poast.org

He seems to be currently circulating in the same right-wing conspiracy GOP circles as Boris Johnson, Nigel Farage, Liz Truss, Jacob Rees-Mogg, Matt Goodwin and the other loonies around the Republican convention (and afterwards)

He's gone from being a Corbyn-supporter to a Trump one....

Name-calling will be called out, and Ad hominem will be frowned upon. :-) And whatabout-ery sits somewhere above responding to tone and below contradiction.
