The latest Democratic debate takes place without an audience, between two men who, if they lived in the UK, might be about to spend the next four months at home. #DemDebate
Both men have each got the name of coronavirus confused.
Best moment of the night from Sanders encouraging viewers “to go to the YouTube right now”

Instant analysis

Big chunky package. Effectively a second budget, 6 days after the last.

But wasn't quite Macron style "no biz will go bankrupt"-so a fair few questions: will terms of loans be? Is it realistic many businesses will be able to repay, given huge lost output?
And so far not much- beyond stuff for mortgage holders- for individuals, as say Scandinavians/New Zealanders have done: guaranteeing wages, boosting benefits, boosting sick pay rate and taking on the cost from employers/money for carers of COVID
.
Chancellor does say there are more proposals to come.

Boris Johnson: "We must act like a wartime government and do whatever it takes to support our economy."
PM: "We know as a country that if we follow the scientific advice which is now being given, we know we can beat it...this government will do whatever it takes."
Sunak: "This effort will be underpinned with government intervention in the economy unimaginable only months ago"

Says it's "not a time for ideology or orthodoxy". Get ready for some mega, mega spending...

Patrick Vallance on the ibuprofen rumours: "It may or may not be right, I don't know. The sensible thing to do for the moment would be not to take it- to take paracetamol or something else."
NHS has updated its advice on ibuprofen consumption.
This pretty major piece of information was first heard in a rather haphazard way, in a Select Committee hearing, in response to a question from an MP. Has now been updated on the website too but clearly, once again, comms is proving an issue.

Democratic Debate: Shame on Joe Biden for saying that our hospitals will be overrun with the number of coronavirus cases. Is Joe running for president or auditioning for an anchor at @CNN?
#DemDebate: Bernie Sanders just badgered Joe Biden about the statements he made as a Senator. The arcane argument Bernie made had no traction. His mode of argumentation was very off-putting. My bet is Joe came across as the better of the two curmudgeons.
#DemDebate: Bernie Sanders wants credit for having been a radical his whole life. He is boasting about having been consistently crazy, unlike Joe Biden who is only occasionally crazy. Bernie calls it 'leadership.'

Sanders as usual making fine points about healthcare, the same points I see working class Americans making on this very website every day #DemDebate
Italy does NOT HAVE A SINGLE PAYER SYSTEM. Joe Biden factually wrong there. Italy has a mixed system: people can choose to pay. Also, many services require copayments #DemDebate
Placating, gentle body language from Biden. Popular with voters. He has good bedside manner, but not convincing points. #DemDebate

#DemDebate Writers' Room:

Biden: one-season showrunner, no idea what show is about but old college buddies with the execs

Bernie: passionate EP, great with season arcs and nothing else

Pete: JUST got staffed and somehow already "a creator"
Amy: Co-Producer, solid plotting, fucking tired of getting spoken over

Steyer: no one knows how he got the job, mostly agrees with other people's pitches

Warren: ABSOLUTELY the workhorse that secretly fixes everybody else's busted-ass draft
Bloomberg: Co-EP, angling for a mid-season coup, ran mediocre Hulu drama for one season and won't shut up about it

#DemDebate moderator: "Was the way that [Mayor Bloomberg] implemented stop-and-frisk racist?"

Sen. Klobuchar: "Yes, and I think that what we need to do instead of just reviewing everything from the past is talk about where we're gonna go forward."

Both #DemDebate and #DemocraticDebate trended immediately prior to, during, and after the first night of the July Democratic presidential debates. We performed some comparative analysis of the traffic mentioning each candidate.

cc:
@ZellaQuixote
@ZellaQuixote Which candidates received the most discussion? Warren and Sanders topped the list, followed by Buttigieg and Williamson. We included tweets containing the candidates first name, last name, or Twitter account, excluding common first names that introduced ambiguity.
@ZellaQuixote Next, we performed sentiment analysis on the traffic mentioning each candidate. Overall, the average sentiment scores were higher during the first half of the debate than the second, with John Delaney experiencing the most drastic reduction.

Anyway, I know what's going to happen. The Tory leadership has begun to separate into two wings.

No-dealers and New-dealers
The No-dealers are going to spend the next three months pretending to leave Europe with no deal.

The New-dealers are going to spend the same three months pretending to leave Europe with a different deal
Neither of these ideas is remotely tenable, so we already know so far in advance that whoever is elected Tory leader will immediately fail in the very policy they have been elected to pursue.

Jesus! this fucking country, honestly
