Pre-teen analysis of leader with Farron his belly
Tim Farron. He is very, sort of, like... formal. He is cheerful, and he is kind.
Yea, he made his own opinion and came into the critical thinking circle.
This assessment of the Lib Dem leader comes not from any voter, but from a girl at a primary school in Bodmin, which Mr Farron visited as his party promoted its pledges on improving education and pumping in cash.
As children, we are continually told, are our future, let's hear some more young feedback and pre-teen political analysis from his visit (all caught by BBC cameras).
One of the boys said: "I think he is a nice person.
"We were doing critical thinking. We were doing, what would you rather have, human rights, or, like, get rid of all the criminals. He said he would personally say human rights, wasn't it?"
His girl classmate chipped in: "Yea, because human rights make the police who they are. Without human rights the police wouldn't really exist."
Another girl, Jez, thought Mr Farron was "very funny" as he got his hands covered in dough.
Tim Farron was at the school on the day the Lib Dems unveiled their plans to spend an extra £7 billion on education. As it happens, Labour also unveiled proposals to spend billions of pounds extra, to be funded by a rise in corporation tax.
Mr Farron is really committed to doing well in this general election. He has Farron his belly - or at least so it sounded in a radio interview. He used the "fire in the belly" phrase twice, which makes you wonder whether it is a deliberate play on words.
Nevertheless, he's predicting a Conservative landslide and says "there is no point in pretending otherwise."
Did you see the Mays on the One Show? There was an amazing revelation. It was that the Prime Minister's husband is normal and has a sense of humour.
Or, if you're a Guardian columnist, he is a "deeply dull, live-in human shield."
Going on shows like this is high risk for a politician, in the same way it is high risk for celebrities to go on reality shows so that they can show the "real me".
As she has a reputation for being somewhat private, Mrs May can hardly have been too enthusiastic, but she came through this fluffy sofa-based schmooze-fest without mishap.
So, we have now been introduced to Mr May. What about Mrs Corbyn?
Jeremy Corbyn is also to appear on the show at some future date, although he is not planning to bring along his wife Laura Alvarez as Labour says his family is "out of bounds".
You know what that means. We won't find out who puts the bins out in the Corbyn household.
