Asked Jan if she wanted me to turn the wireless on early to catch the news.

She doesn’t usually swear that much.

Good night all.

Been up an hour now. Wish I hadn’t bothered…increasingly feels like a bad night

Wait for Penn, Mich & Wis but all the smoke signals are really bad

Thought I’d listen to Ros Atkins while pottering around the house but he’s on with a total fucking eejit who is absolutely bloody awful.

He must be going mental.

You’d think she’s off local radio.

It’s so bad it’s good, so I’ve left it on. Quite why they chose to interview a whole host of b-list partisans is also beyond me.

Edit: Fucking hell - Minesota TCTC???

Edit: she’s toast.

The Florida abortion rights vote was lost, needed 60%, got 57%.

Harris now 50/1.:weary:

Very depressing.

Basically 45-64 white men who didn’t get a college degree are going to fuck over the world.

Looks like a landslide for Trump in the key swing states.

Also wins a majority of the popular vote which wasn’t expected by the bookies.

Well played Donald.:ok_hand:

Don’t worry - when the dementia progresses to the point where even his own party realise he’s incapable, Vance’ll take over :ok_hand:

Kiss goodbye to the Ukraine and Palestine.

Soon to be followed by Europe and NATO.
