    As discussed some pages above by me and @RoverAndOut it's not going to fulfil our dreams as of now - they don't appear to be committing to anything substantial just yet, as being that honest is electorally daft . We're just going to have to wait until after they're in to see what they actually do - I'm with you on this though, if they sit on the fence for a year never mind five, I'm going to be pissed off.

    Mentioned on the BBC News tonight that he was not present for the traditional opening of the gates at Glastonbury this morning, only Emily was there. Reporter noted it's the first time they can remember that he has not been in attendance, although he did add that he is expected to make an appearance on the stage at some point. Thought it worth noting.

    Tove Jansson died on this day 23 years ago, aged 86. - Jansson was part of an artistic family; her father Viktor was a sculptor, her mother Signe was an illustrator, and her brother Lars was a cartoonist. - Jansson would write her first children's book in 1928, called Sara and Pelle and Neptune's Children. It was not published for another 5 years. - During World War II, Jansson would serve as a political cartoonist for Garm magazine. She would lampoon both Hitler and Stalin: - In 1945, Jansson wrote the first book in the series that catapulted her to fame- The Moomins and the Great Flood. The donkey-like trolls in the book became a cultural phenomenon in Jansson's native Finland and beyond, having been adapted into TV shows, movies, and two theme parks (one in Finland and one in Japan). The last book Jansson wrote in the series was 1993's Songs from Moominvalley: - Jansson would also illustrate Swedish translations of The Hobbit and Alice in Wonderland, and had a career painting murals in places such as schools and hospitals.

    Problem is (and I hope and pray he gets the supermajority the Tories are warning against), I am absolutely 100% going to vote for him and his obfuscation and refusal to engage is starting to really piss ME off. It's infuriating. I get that the Tories are shit, and you want to focus on that, but show yourself to be engaged and switched on and treat the voters with at least a basic level of honesty. I totally understand their reticence, the public have screwed them over time and again but Sunak is an absolute bellend and he should be telling us that. I was expecting a much more combative performance compared to the first debate a month ago, but essentially it was a repeat. Sunak lied about tax at every opportunity and introduced the new "whatever the issue, Labour will make it worse, mark my words" and Starmer said Sunak was lying and that Labour will fix everything but in a serious and responsible way. Totally depressing.

    I really had problems watching this. But it was like a road traffic incident - I couldn't look away. Politicians are really really stupid sometimes. No matter how much you prepare, you are never really ready for the questions, some so skewed or nuanced you will never satisfy the questioner. I think that's where Starmer falls down in these "debates". As a lawyer you would prepare having been handed the other side's evidence in advance - here that simply doesn't work, he's not an agile performer who can leap from rocky outcrop to green pastures. Sunak on the other hand is a prick who thinks debating like you do in front of crowds roaring you on is a win. In fact he came across as a fear-mongering dick who made up almost everything and shouted down a lot of Starmer's answers. Hopefully most people with any sense made up their minds a long time ago. My main takeaways from today are the basics as follows: 1. Sunak will cut your taxes. Ok then, let's look at what that means. That means he is going to cut everyone's taxes. Given the tax system in this country that means that tax cuts will proportionally favour the rich and wealthy. Like Sunak. I see little in the way of recovery of the loss of that revenue stream to the Treasury. Now I'm old enough to remember Thatcher's government who at least had public utilities to sell off to fund tax cuts, but like the current government they weren't interested in building schools or hospitals or investing in public services - indeed, I'd go so far to say that in making certain parts of the country poorer, that actually made them qualify for help from...Europe. The country is crying out for better everything, but Sunak says, I'll give you a little back, I'll take a lot for myself and nothing will actually get better. 2. Meantime, Starmer is promising more Blair. Collegiate decision making, tackling social ills blah bah blah, but pairs that with inviting big business to sit alongside him and hope that growth follows. His difficulty with that message is that people remember how their towns and cities gave Labour their vote and then were forgotten about. He also can't promise jam tomorrow to any great effect because the Tories stopped baking bread 14 fucking years ago. While he seemingly has good intentions, by swinging from Corbyn's incredulous plans for spending to a minimal amount of spending, people can't see where that improvement is going to come from - and he's not a great message carrier. The guy who said "are these guys the best we have" was simply a tosser. I'll bet he longs for the days of Johnson, full of populism and colour but with all the ability of Tess Daly. I thought Starmer was a little better at analysing the problems in the round - get the waiting lists down lower crime and get people off welfare and back to work, and incentivise bosses to do that. Sunak on the other hand is content with how Britain is with it's outlandish National Debt, it's crumbling infrastructure and wasteland town centres, but hey, here's a couple of quid to make you shut up, and hate those horrid benefit scroungers and those nasty nasty immigrants he keeps letting into the country. Anything is preferable to the current incumbents, but another round of Red Tories isn't that appealing either. So anyway, Binface for PM.

    Legendary voice actor Alan Oppenheimer of He-Man (Skeletor), The NeverEnding Story (Falkor), Flash Gordon (Ming the Merciless), The Six Million Dollar Man (Rudy Wells), etc. fame is 94 now and seems to have declined in recent years. Despite this coupled with his advanced age, he is still attending conventions, but is one to watch heading into the future. In the coming days, he may appear in videos of the Washington State Summer Con, which he is currently attending, which may give us insight into his condition, be it cause for concern or just that he was having a bad day on the eleventh when the linked photo was taken. He is also the cousin of J. Robert Oppenheimer, father of the atomic bomb.

    Although we belong to different generations, we can learn more about music. It's part of the main reason why I like this game so much.

    One thing which may be keeping Jimmy going is that he has a new girlfriend. Even with a long happy marriage it is not uncommon for a widow or widower to find love again. This may sound far fetched at this point but there is no limit to the human heart’s ability to love and want companionship. I’m sure it has extended many lives.

    If you've listened to that Helen Lewis has Left the Chat podcast series Baker clearly bossed the Whatsapp operation that worked so effectively to steer the direction of Brexit and helped depose May as PM. So, he has some savvy, but this looks more like making out he doesn't care when he probably does. Quite a few middle ground Tories would take some pleasure in his ousting, though a load of those will probably by more concerned about their next job because they'll be finding themselves dumped as well!

    Bump again. Just in case. Of course, many MPs are standing down so this might not be the fun it has been previously. One thing I can guarantee...there will be Portillo moments in the second half of this year.
