These are tricky times for David Cameron. There is little doubt that he will campaign to stay in the EU but there is considerable doubt over the concessions that he might secure from other European countries. In the unlikely event that the UK votes to leave the UK, it will probably be a resigning matter for David Cameron.

However, Germany wants the UK to stay in the EU. It will be interesting to see how German chancellor, Angela Merkel plays her hand.

Biden running for the Presidency will make no difference to the outcome as he is not and will never be the preferred candidate.

He is there to give people the illusion of choice in a matter which has already been decided.

Biden is like a second-stream candidate a headhunter can “put to the client” in the event that the preferred candidate takes another offer, gets struck down by lightning or goes mad.

Like Obama, he will soon be forgotten after Mrs Clinton becomes America’s first female President.
