Ooohhhh! I timed that well then. Are the new people at the back there to clap him to his seat?

They must be just observers, surely the judge wouldn't allow so many support people.

How many supporters are there?

I’m my head the Darth Vadar music is playing

I see the trip hazard has been removed.

You absolute best nest of vipers - SPs dad's donations have increased by over £50 since the link was shared. Hopefully this will help the family feel the support.

Tall, masked bloke enters?

Surely one, or at most two, supporters should be sufficient? It is all very performative isn’t it?

Upton being sworn in finally.

Hear hear.

Masked? I hope he had to remove that.

Any (non-pejorative obvs) descriptions for the non watching most welcome...

Knew it.

Well, performativity (performativeness?) is the name of the game here really, isn't it?

I haven’t seen but I bet my house on nail varnish.

The man in the grey suit is sitting in a very louche way.
He's annoying me.

How on earth does Beth cope in A&E ?

I think the man behind DrU is his dad

Can he identify into his date of birth as well as his sex? I want to know as I'd like to identify as 20 years younger which I suspect would help a lot with job applications. I'll also identify my qualifications being appropriately later.

Could you tell us what a 'lady voice' is please?

NB - some sailors wear earrings but they are definitely masculine.
