He wants Americans to hear his claims that their taxes will be higher, health will be socialised & the oil industry forced to close and, above all, that Biden is just another politician on the take who had 8 years to make a difference & failed. It’s his last throw of the dice

Speak quietly & maybe there’ll start listening. That was the gamble Trump tonight. The rules were better, the moderator did a good job but that’s the real reason this was a proper #PresidentialDebate2020

“C’mon!” Is @JoeBiden’s new tactic. Used whenever he reminds people of what Trump has said in the past

“I need to be able to respond if I might” @realDonaldTrump’s new debate tactic is courtesy. Will it last ? #PresidentialDebate2020

This was not the original @RishiSunak plan. The Treasury was banking on an easing of restrictions and financial support. But today he felt he had to quadruple planned support to businesses & spend billions more just 4 weeks after he launched his Winter Economic Plan

Big Picture after today : a Tory govt will have been paying most of the wages of millions of workers for up to year by the time the virus subsides or a vaccine & mass testing control it. Unprecedented. Hugely expensive. Yet may still not be enough to stop mass unemployment.

One of the great merits of devolution is that it encourages policy innovation & allows different strategies to be trialled. The UK is about to become a series of Petri dishes testing different approaches to COVID-19 ?

The problem with @borisjohson saying that he wanted to give the North a bigger voice was always going to be that it might use that voice in ways he didn't want

What this report makes clear is that what matters is what you do with the time a circuit breaker buys. If you can use it to take measures that will stop infections long term it may be worth it. If not, then given the costs it may not be. That’s for politicians to debate & decide

Hoping we can put the whole interview with Arsene Wenger out as a @BBCr4today podcast later. He’s a fascinating man. Intelligent, thoughtful and reflective

I also asked him about the match when @ManUtd best @Arsenal 2-0 ended The Invincibles run. My journalistic integrity left me with no other choice ??
