@Zara_588 That black cab design wasn’t around in 1956. It’s a later model

True this

Pennsylvania picks presidents. True or false?

That #BidenDropsOut today is not such a great surprise. But now he too can enjoy the accolades for a lifetime of service and a hugely productive final term in office.

[PJ Coë @pj_coe]

In the end, Johnson surprised everyone by announcing in March '68 that he wouldn't run again. Cue the accolades for the man, his service, and a decision made not self-interestedly but in the interests of party and country.

Then as now US was deeply divided, esp. over Vietnam and LBJ's role. Support from his own party was fading rapidly, as was his health. Yet he was the sitting president entitled to run for a second term, and a dominant character, so who'd deny him the Democratic nomination?

[PJ Coë @pj_coe]

All-round frustration turns to relief on liberal side of great divide here at JB’s withdrawal from #Election2024 race. Close comparisons drawn with LBJ deciding not to run again in 1968: a nation divided + an incumbent whose support was crumbling & with their fitness in question

For all the shortcomings and coarsening of democratic politics, one thing Britain still excels at (America) is a swift and graceful handover of power. #GeneralElection2024📷 #GE24📷 @Keir_Starmer @RishiSunak

@GStephanopoulos confirms the deep state is real and packed with patriots in fascinating intro to #thesituationroom, ‘The Inside Story of Presidents in Crisis’ @FreeLibrary of Philadelphia.

This is a superb visualization of European history (1500-2022).

Music, slo-mo, the works - @duncancstone turns the last minute of our climate frontlines doc into a great way for me to say farewell

@DavidShukman @DuncanCStone One of the absolute best, David. Thank you for all your wonderful reporting.

Respect!

#BBC my last day on air. After 33 years, time to do something new. Proud of a few things: told the China story, fought for a fair workplace, gave away the back pay I won, wrote the book. But most of all grateful to audiences and brilliant colleagues. THE BEST. I’ll miss you. X

[PJ Coë @pj_coe]

@BBCCarrie How many could sum up their time with such honour and well-earned respect. Go Carrie!
