Mike texts, what do you make of the male and the tourist trying to task Dharma with the same brush? Entirely predictable.

1:10

It's the famous what about routine.

1:13

Whoa, never mind about that.

1:14

What about this? And they keep printing that same invite to the function that Sir Keir was at.

1:26

And it says on the bloomin' poster, please join by Zoom.

1:33

It wasn't a bring your own booze party.

1:36

Booze.

1:36

It was a bring your own Zoom party.

1:40

Oh, but what about this and what about that? It's all Jeremy Corbyn's fault, I expect.

1:45

Thanks a lot, Jeremy Corbyn.

1:46

See what you've done.

1:47

Boo! David texts, Nigel Fromage and his fans are moaning about non-EU immigration increasing since we left the...

1:58

Ew.

1:59

And Jacob Smug seems to think that we should restrict free trade.

2:06

I thought people knew what they were voting for, says David.

2:08

That was a bit confusing.

2:09

Nigel Fromage is complaining.

2:12

Whinging and whining and moaning.

2:13

I find that hard to believe.

2:16

Yeah, I'll get in a smug in a bit too.

2:18

The stuff that's been happening this week, it's just like my head is a-spinning.

2:24

Sue texts, I've been to the garden centre today, lots of summer bedding plants, but I think it's still too early to plant them.

2:30

Do you like gardening? Are you doing a show on Monday? Hope so.

2:33

Wow, it's a blizzard of questions there, Sue.

2:38

I don't know whether it's too early to plant them.
