America was always there before. No matter who was in the Oval Office, no matter which party held the majority in Congress, you could count on us. Not anymore.

Remember that, if you live in Scotland, the current doctors strike won’t affect you unless you are scheduled to attend a hospital in England.
The ‘National’ news outlets are very slow to point out anything that affects England only.

Do read this. It’s by Brian Eno for @thenerve.news & it’s about this generation’s BandAid.

This polling comes from Cardiff Uni and YouGov. It is not an MRP poll but it's a source that has proved reliable in the past.
