Posting screenshots of text provided to Gordon Brown ahead the election debates in 2010, former adviser Theo Bertram says that even the sight of “caps lock Arial Black” now brings him out in a shiver. It was the only font the then-Labour prime minister could read clearly. “So much preparation went into the session,” he added on his Twitter account. “Like PMQs on steroids.” One piece of advice offered to the prime minister read: “If you’re not enjoying it, no one else will”. Perhaps both Team Johnson and Team Corbyn can bear that in mind today as they prepare their leaders for a head-to-head debate on ITV at 8pm.
