    Who is next?

    Mandy is nowhere near as black as they paint him. He has a very good business head on him and IMO Starmer did well putting him in our Ambassador's role. It's just a pity his previous came back to bite him on the bum. He will be a difficult mind to replace.

    Sealant inside cistern

    You can try anything, but IMO it is always better to start afresh with clean surfaces and a new sealant of your choice. My choice would be Goldend Paste https://chesterton.com/industrial-lubricants-and-mro-products/maintenance-specialties/900-goldend-thread-sealant-paste

    Just how bad is this?

    My 1st concern would be are there pad-stones for the ends of the steels? I couldn't see any, but the whole job is so messed up it is impossible to say from the photos.

    Discolouration on aluminium cills

    It could be oxidation caused by atmospheric pollution or maybe even the age of the anodizing.

    Bloom on outside of windows

    A long standing 'cleaner' for glass as used by car detailers is a liquid metal polish such as Brasso. It has a very fine abrasive suspended in the liquid and will remove any coating that is not the actual glass. A gently but persistent cleaning with that followed by a good wash with clean water...
