    You literally said at the time that you’d have probably voted for him if you could vote in the election though.

    What I actually said was that I couldn't say for sure, as I don't live there and experience the impact that policies have on day to day life or the area that I live in. But based on policies alone I would have probably voted Republican. That doesn't make me a fan or a supporter, much to the annoyance of the BBS. I voted for Corbyn in our last GE but I was miles away from being a fan or supporter. Different story with Starmer if we had a GE tomorrow - he'd get my vote and I'm close to being a fan/supporter.

    How do you vote Corbyn and (if you could) Republican? They're so far ideologically removed from each other!

    I don't know anything about Starmer as he's without any policy or idea of what he stands for. What's to vote for except him not being a Tory?

    Personal opinion is you can't straight up compare the two parties you choose from in the US to the two front runners in the UK. It's almost on another planet as a country with a far different setup. We try and compare ourselves to it far too often without acknowledging how removed it is from our way of life. Also, I judge every policy in isolation so sit far closer to the centre than this obsession we've got these days with being right or left.

    I voted for Corbyn essentially because he wasn't Boris Johnson and a Tory.

    Biden is clearly better than Trump, although the bar is obviously very low. Policy wise he's far more radical than anyone expected him to be, which is no doubt jarring and confusing to all the centre left in the Labour party who spent a good deal of time decrying a similar economic outlook under Corbyn.

    Nothing is identical, and clearly there's always crossover, but ideologically Republicans have way more in common socially and economically with the Tory Party than Labour do. They are bound by traditional Conservatism. Likewise Labour (New Labour especially) share more with Democrats. Although Democrats were traditionally far more left of centre until the past 40-50 years or so.

    He's Irish-American and what this crazy government is doing to Northern Ireland and the Republic in the name of Brexit is hardly going to endear him to the UK is it?

    It’s just a way for the democrats to get past Trumpy with a man then install the first female president once Joe gets “sick”

    I’m not saying it’s justified or not, just telling the truth. He didn’t like the English before Brexit messed with the GFA.

    "That fella down under" is called Scott Morrison. An important press conference about a serious issue and he doesn't even know who he's talking to.

    Joe might be a bit more British than he realises.

    Ha as a born Irish lad nothing pains me more than irish Americans. Never been to Ireland probably will. Sing up the ra not having a clue which ra they are on about. Then realise their own "American army" are allies with the "British army" who they claim to dislike. Absolute weapons

    Another day of Biden not making sense, waffling on speaking nonsense. If he thinks computers can talk he probably should retire and that was probably the most easy to understand part of the video. It should be uneasy for people that the guy in the position of the most powerful man in the world can constantly forget things or say things that don't make sense.
