US Senator McConnell says a short-term debt ceiling vote is possible on Thursday

Amongst a huge news day during the US timezone was this on the US debt ceiling:

• McConnell says he will allow Dems to use normal procedures to pass debt limit

McConnell now suggesting Thursday as a vote. Democrats have already indicated they'll be in assent. So, the vote looks set to pass (famous last words?) when it does happen. US government gets funded through to December when we can begin the charade all over again.
