@JoeW it's eye pollution.

Lawyers found classified docs in Trump’s bedroom 4 months after Mar-a-Lago search

I'm hearing rumours that the UK general election is about to be called... Supposedly the PM's office isn't answering questions on it rather than denying it, as they have when similar rumours have circled previously. There's a 'must attend' Cabinet meeting this afternoon, and the political officials bench at Prime Minister's Questions today is looking very empty.

@CDJB wasn't that supposed to be happening at the next year's beginning or so?

@User1865345 that's the latest possible date - Sunak can call it at any point between now and January. The earliest date it can actually be held if he were to call it today would be the end of June :)

Okay. I see. Thanks!

@CDJB would the Tories benefit from an early election call, btw?

Guardian reports: Sunak declines to rule out calling summer election, after SNP's Stephen Flynn asks about Westminster 'speculation'

@User1865345 depends really, new inflation figures were released this morning which were good, but whether that will cut through to the general public I have no idea. I think waiting 'til January would be interpreted as clinging to power, but tbh anything could affect the result. I've seen people even suggest that holding an election around the end of the 2024 Euros could benefit the Tories if England does well!

@CDJB okay. The general sentiment is Labour, isn't it?

The latest elections seemed to be promising for Starmer.

I see :-)

Anyways, now People's mayor is promoting some coffee beans:

@JoeW a huge gamble.

Keir Starmer expected to make it to No 10 despite his low personal popularity

Opinion by John McDonnell: Keir Starmer’s ‘first steps’ might get him into Downing Street. But there is danger ahead

Tbh, Starmer doesn't have any form of charisma like Blair or idealism like that of Corbyn.

Trump falsely says Biden was ‘locked & loaded and ready to take me out’ in Mar-a-Lago search

Considering that they did the search in plain clothes and not uniforms with protective gear and guns showing pokes a big hole in the claim.

@JoeW of course :-)

Guardian poll draws worrying conclusion for Democrats about voters' perception of the economy

> Despite months of strong job growth, declines in the rate of inflation and record highs in stock indices, the survey indicated that a majority of Americans wrongly believe the country is in a recession. More worryingly for Joe Biden’s re-election prospects, nearly 60% blame “mismanagement” from his administration for making the situation worse.
