I feel like that's asking for Trump to use it as an excuse for why the jury reached a guilty verdict.

Boris Johnson has thankfully opted out of the leadership race. Not that the rest of the options are fantastic, but still.

That's surprising considering they finished filming a year ago! Plenty of time to tweak and get things right, I guess.

Letters of no confidence in Liz Truss 'already being put in', says Tory MP Though apparently she's immune to a vote until September next year.

I was going to say it's probably not fair to judge people now for what they wrote on a web site as a teen twenty years ago, but from googling, he's continued to say a lot of stupid terrible things over the years, so clearly he has not changed much, if at all.

If at first you don't succeed?

It took a note of my google login when I voted, so I assumed it was just saving the one vote per person.
