Summary
Biden has stood down! But, before the Trawl ladies get to that, they want to discuss the Crowdstrike bug which hit Microsoft hard. People in offices were crossing their fingers Teams would go down too so they could leave early, some poor souls had their flights cancelled or experienced other huge inconveniences, others didn't even notice.
Then, it's off to the States where it's all happening. Or, not happening in Biden's case. President Biden will not be running against Trump and for the good of the party is endorsing Kamala Harris. There's plenty of reaction to trawl plus the embarrassment of Farage and Truss trying to be relevant and pretending they're part of the inner circle. Hilarious clips prove otherwise. Liz who?
Emily Maitlis gives an interviewing masterclass and you won't believe what someone who owns 19 air rifles does for a living.
Stuffed with clips galore this is a digest which will make you concur with one of the Under Rated Tweets by Labour MP Chris Bryant who said There are many flaws in the UK constitution but the fact that we can change the party of government in the twinkling of an eye with minimal fuss and without preposterous claims of a stolen election is a pearl of great price. Some countries take months, we take hours

| 0:08.1 | Were you invited? |
| 0:09.0 | That's it got to do with you. |

| 0:23.7 | And potentially in years to come, people might be asking where you were when Crowdstrike caused a global tech outage, |
| 0:31.5 | disrupting operations in airports, banks and stock exchanges, |
| 0:34.9 | and crippling computer systems for millions of Microsoft users in what is |
| 0:39.9 | being called the largest IT outage ever. Or on the other hand, maybe it didn't affect you at all. |
| 0:47.1 | Either way, someone at CrowdStrike is going to get fired. Tom Warren, who is the senior editor at |
