    Phew! Max temperature today - 25C. And (potentially) three hours of much-needed rain. Anyone ever seen a rainbow like the one below - taken Sunday evening? It was actually pretty much exactly overhead (the trees give a false impression) and looked close to horizontal.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    A lot of yesterday was OK - but it became pretty darned hot in late afternoon and that heat hung around through the evening. This morning, woke around 5:30, completely uncovered, windows open (curtains closed). And felt warm. That is unusual.

    Hope you all are keeping your cool - even when you see the tory leadership candidates, Dorries, and goodness knows who else, getting you (and me) hot under the collar. Getting away lightly here! Max. keeps changing between 31 and 33. Just gone up to two hours of 33C.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Sunak deploys "scrap EU red tape" ruse. And all too many are likely to believe it. The more we move away, the more difficult exporting to the EU will become. And I simply do not believe it is that which explains why we fail so much, so often.

    Cunning - a sentence which, if true as a whole, must be untrue in the detail. Is such a sentence, one that cannot on fundamental logic grounds ever be self-consistent, a lie?

    I thought it was like skimmed milk. Pretty much fact-free. PS: I didn't watch but read some of the reporting.

    And what did she do between then and now? Stayed as a Tory MP. Of course we need to make EU relations much, much better. And I think it is down to us to start doing so.

    Whether or not we get Truss, it looks like all too many are stuck with The Trussel Trust food banks. Which should (but won't) shame a cabinet of multimillionaires.

    But which way are you going with that? Someone who has no spine just gets blown about. OR Someone who doesn't bend is less able to withstand heavy winds.

    Tories manage to scramble brains: UK government to table no-confidence motion in itself Unexpected move does not directly criticise Boris Johnson and comes after Labour version rejected

    I suspect the would-be tory leaders will not be pleased to read this headline: Number of UK Covid deaths passes 200,000, ONS data shows Figures show Britain has one of the highest death tolls in Europe, with 2,652 deaths per million people Even if they are trying to draw a line between...

    The i has an amazingly informative front page headline for tomorrow: Eight Tories in today’s vote to become PM, as Sunak leads It informs us how incredibly stupid they think we are! It would have been interesting, informative (and unbelievable) if they were Labour, LibDems, or SNPs!

    Johnson is leaving a fine legacy: The City Hall affair/attempt to get a job issue. The Lebedev issue. The trash Sunak issue. And, I'm sure, plenty more about his time as PM.
