    20,000 people at the Kamala Harris rally.

    On the one hand that shows serious support this early, making her a pretty formidable contender.

    On the other hand that's 20,000 people who got to experience first-hand that she isn't very good.

    I like Warren's politics better but Harris is a better performer. She will have to go with someone stale, male and pale as VP to balance the ticket. Maybe Larry David.

    "Patisserie Valerie, which opened its first café in Soho in central London in 1926, called in the administrators. “This is a company that may have been built on sand all along and no one got wind of it,” said Gavin Pearson, a forensic accountant at Quantuma.

    Unlike many of its rivals in the casual dining business, Patisserie Valerie was reporting a rise in sales each year and an ever-growing pile of cash."

    There’s surely going to be a massive lawsuit coming down the line between the shareholders and the auditors here. It’s impossible that it was just one or two dodgy accountants. IIRC Luke Johnson wrote an eight figure cheque to keep them going when this all first came to light. He’s a nice guy, but as one of very few people to have made serious money in the restaurant business he’s not going to suffer fools gladly.

    Let the Remainers in the Cabinet resign - we don't need them.

    They probably should resign. They can use their time better getting the Brexit ultras out of their party.
