It's Kamala for Biden - VP pick choice - US Presidential Election 2020

Politico: Reports " Biden picks Kamala Harris as VP nominee.Harris, the daughter of immigrants from Jamaica and India, was the wire-to-wire frontrunner for Biden’s No. 2 job.  "

Lets Get Real:

Thus the next US VP will be Senator Kamala Harris, this is a good move by Biden, she has a record as tough prosecutor and not afraid to show elbows when it comes to debates, she went after Biden in one debate.   Let's hope Biden has gotten blood oath from her that she will be loyal, while he is the Oval he does not want to worry that his VP has measured the drapes for the Oval Office when she moves in.  Thus the Presidential fight starts today!!

UK's Economic SLUMP after COVID - 19 - Update 1 - Economy/Health

Sky News: Reports " UK to nosedive into recession after COVID-19 triggers record slump...A dramatic 21% downturn between April and June is expected to be confirmed by statisticians, following a previous 2.2% drop.  "

Lets Get Real:

It can be argued that the UK economy will have U shaped recession, shallow in the middle but a return to pre 2020 standards by the end 2021.   There will be deep job loses in the hospitality sector, from Bars, to pubs to restaurants .   The neat idea of the Chancellor to give a voucher to punters has been a great idea, it has gotten people back out for a drink and to eat.   It can be argued that the voucher scheme should be extended from its present Monday to Wednesday to the full week and extended to cover September also.   The Brexit effects should be limited, with the COVID - 19 taking the blame for job loses.   The UK should have a CLEAR BREXIT from the EU, the EU will come running for us after we have gone. 

The Democratic Convention - US Election 2020

BBC News: Reports " We've got four days of convention time to look forward to from 17-20 August.  "

Lets Get Real:

This is a non news event, Biden will be selected as the Democratic Nominee and his VP will be supported by the Convention.  Except speeches to attack Trump and the Republicans.  The liberal mainstream media and CNN ( It is about time CNN gave up being a news network! ) It just kisses the backside of the Democrats, will give the convention a fawning reporting and support whatever the Democrats say on the night.  It will be interesting to hear Barack and Michelle Obama and one hopes that Biden is NO BORING and manages not to place his foot in his mouth, he is the next President, God help US ALL.  It will be interesting to hear what the Dems say about FOREIGN POLICY, are they really going to take on Putin and Russia, of course expect them to want another DEAL with Iran.   One does wonder will Russia try to thwart the event with another computer hack, we shall see!!
