UK media: Meet Sleepy Joe and Kamala - the Lord and Lady Gaga of politics

Not for the first time, Joe Biden was late for his own press conference.. The President had just been briefed by the head of FEMA. ‘I can’t think of anyone better to lead this operation than, er, um, er..’ he mumbled, as he hastily consulted his notes. Biden couldn’t even remember the name of the woman in charge of FEMA, someone he had been speaking to just a couple of minutes earlier. Not only that, she was sitting in front of him.

Fourteen Republican members of Congress have written an open letter demanding that Biden takes a formal cognitive ability test, which Trump passed in 2018 after the Democrats accused him of senility. The President is refusing, presumably because his close associates aren’t even confident that he can remember his own name these days.

But even if the men in white coats come calling for Biden, what next? No one can seriously welcome the prospect of his Vice President Kamala Harris replacing him. Last week, I described her as ‘giggly’. On Sunday, she proved me right yet again, dissolving into manic laughter when reporters tried to question her as she descended from a plane in Singapore.
