Neither do you. Vascular dementia can plateau for ages then deteriorate. Not that Biden has been diagnosed with anything apart from being old and mostly overcoming a life long stutter.
However President Harris would be even better, she's far more talented than either of the main candidates, and the right side of 70.
Anyway back to Brexit before we get told off ...

Brexit may be "even more brutal than expected" due to the UK's negotiating "failures", Sir John Major has said.
In a speech in London, the ex-prime minister said the UK's "inflexibility" and "threats" towards the EU would make future trade "less profitable".
And he warned of the "corrosive" impact to the UK's reputation of a proposed law giving ministers the power to over-ride aspects of the Brexit Agreement.
Peers will vote shortly on whether to amend the Internal Market Bill.
They are expected to remove a series of clauses which would give the UK the right to disregard obligations in the Withdrawal Agreement with the EU in relation to Northern Ireland, a move that Northern Ireland Secretary Brandon Lewis has conceded would break international law...
In his speech, recorded before Joe Biden's election as US president was confirmed on Saturday, Sir John also warned that the UK's departure from the EU made it "less relevant" to its oldest and strongest ally.
While the UK had enormous strengths and assets, he said it was "no longer a great power" in a world dominated by the US, China and the EU and was struggling to "punch above its weight" on the international stage.
"Our hefty international influence rested on our history and reputation, buttressed by our membership of the European Union and our close alliance with the United States.
"Suddenly, we are no longer an irreplaceable bridge between Europe and America."

The Government’s controversial Brexit Bill has been dealt a crushing blow, after peers rejected a bid to give ministers power to break international law. In the first of a series of votes on stripping law-breaking powers from the Internal Market Bill, the Government has been heavily defeated in the House of Lords by 433 to 165, with a majority 268. A No 10 spokesperson said they were ‘disappointed’ that peers had voted to remove the clauses from the Bill and vowed to reinstate them in the Commons. It is the second time controversial elements of the Bill have been rejected. The Bill, which has received significant cross-party backlash, seeks to override key elements of the Withdrawal Agreement made with Brussels – breaking international law in the process.

Another U turn on the way. He can ignore the House of Lords but he won't be able to ignore President Joe if he wants a trade deal. He needs another big news day to bury yet another U turn, like he did for the school meals one...
The EU are taking us to court too. That's nice...

It's not Boris doing the U-Turn though is it, he'd gladly let it go through, it's the other buggers (again) doing all the disruptive stuff

Why is Mr Grey sticking his opinion in where it doesn't matter.
Sorry I mean JM,

Re: Brexit-Transitional Period Ends 31/12/20
Because he’s the longest serving Tory PM of the last 30 years?

Re: Brexit-Transitional Period Ends 31/12/20
But he isn't dealing with 2 huge problems requiring immediate attention where there isn't consensus on how to proceed either in parliament nor the wider population.
Boris is trying to herd feral cats while blindfolded, one arm tied behind his back and a pack of dogs running around lose trying to excite things up.
