   I saw about 3 questions’ worth of the #itvdebate last night. It was as facile as I expected.

   The dynamic of it was something like this:

   Q: these floorboards and the ones of the floor beneath and the ones of the floor beneath that are riddled with dry rot. How will you make this building safe?

   Sunak: our oil investments will allow us to put a nice oil finish on all the floors

   Starmer: that’s ridiculous! We will use wax

     “If you look at the fossil record you can see there was this same pattern at the end of the Permian, where two-thirds of marine genera became extinct. We don’t have identical conditions to that now, but it’s worth pointing out that the environmental changes going on are similar.”
