I think both sides have ruled out that this is talking about the uk rejoining the eu in any way, shape orform, or even the customs union, for that matter. But what this is about is some quite concrete bilateral talks. This is the fifth meeting, but this is the first official visit of the prime minister to berlin. And it s just two months after he was elected as prime minister. Now, for his predecessor, rishi sunak, it took 18 months. And i thinkjust that alone is a signal of what london wants to achieve.

While this is remarkable, because, for instance, it is a tenth of a degree warmer than the wa
As colorado goes to the polls, Sisters Mandy and nicky are headed to the ice. We are such a divided nation. But the one thing i like is when i walk into the hockey rink, were all the same. The feeling is rather different on the Campaign Trail, as 15 states are holding votes to pick their president ial candidates. Crooked joe biden, youre fired before polls have even closed, theres been a victory for donald trump. The state of colorado was in a fight to kick him off the ballot entirely for his role in the capitol riots onjanuary 6th. But the Us Supreme Court struck it down. His republican opponent is undeterred. I defeated a dozen of the fellas. Cheering. Ijust have one more fella i got to catch up to. The question is whether nikki haley quits the race, or decides to hang on. It wasnt president joe biden, but the first lady doing the rounds on the democratic side, going after female voters.
