An asparagus-reading psychic tipped off Jeremy Vine that the next US President will be a woman – 12 tasty takes
President Biden‘s decision to end his bid for re-election may have seemed increasingly inevitable over the past few weeks, but it’s still left the world reeling.
This was how people learnt of his change of heart.

Both criticism and tributes have flooded the internet, and endless rounds of analysis are underway.
There were warm words from the man for whom Biden was VP, Barack Obama.
Joe Biden has been one of America’s most consequential presidents, as well as a dear friend and partner to me. Today, we’ve also been reminded – again – that he’s a patriot of the highest order.

Inevitably, there were also thousands of jokes.
at this truly historic political moment, whichever side of the left or right divide you find yourself on, can we all just take a wee break to pause, and spare a thought for whichever poor soul has to explain all of this to Jack Grealish

Joe Biden's final gift to America should be to sign an executive order limiting the president's age to 70.

Despite calling for the President to drop out of the race, Trump’s camp may well be worried that his replacement has a better chance of beating the convicted felon.
My entire feed is Democrats uniting like Voltron. A total nightmare for Republicans.

Perhaps they’ll be even more worried when they hear what asparamancer (asparagus-reading psychic) Jemima Packington had to say to Jeremy Vine about the presidential race …
I know Biden pulling out of the US presidential race is big news but I can’t stop thinking about how an asparagus fortune teller prediction on Jeremy Vine could be right.

Perhaps they won’t, but everybody else has had plenty to say about it.

Look I’m not saying the asparagus lady really has the sight, but she’s more use than the entire UK political commentariat. https://t.co/rIAkeiuqVv

Before everyone gets too excited, she’s no Paul the Octopus.
The Asparagus Woman said that Keir Starmer was not going to take Labour into the General Election so I don’t really trust her predictions to be honest. https://t.co/7WvDbh93vj
