Sunak: Weeeeh

Starmer: Blububub splutter

Rinse and repeat.

What??

Thinking about the labour tax bombshell bollocks

 

[kenny g]

Sunak is clearly a complete grifting wanker.

 

[kenny g]

Time for bed for working people.

 

[cyberfairy]

Its like a very bad tempered office Christmas do conversation

 

[Mumbles274]

Starmer is doing so badly.. How can anyone do so badly against the joke of a person sunak? Fuck me, our politics is a joke

 

[Epona]

Oh no. I appear to have forgotten to turn it on

Oh dear, how sad

We appear to be watching a different debate. The audience was openly laughing at Sunak when he got his numbers totally wrong. And applauding Starmer far more than Sunak.

 

[Johnny Vodka]

As a wise man once said, I'd rather shite in my hands and clap than watch those two debate.

 

[SE25]

"I'm more swivel eyed than you!"

 

[kenny g]

Sunak getting tetchy

Sunak getting tetchy

I am waiting for full throttle pissed off.

Sunak has raised more laughs

One of the funnier tweets I saw:

His dad was a toolmaker and now the tool is on TV

 

[skyscraper101]

Well that was thrilling stuff.

Sunak is such a knob. Starmer isn't exactly gifted with charisma but given that's the only choice I'll take it.

 

[Fez909]

Only person coming out well is the host.. Having to deal with 2 twats

I thought she was awful, too

 

[Petcha]

Sunak has raised more laughs

In all the wrong ways..

The next question is about what the parties would do for young people.

Starmer says he wants to see people have more educational opportunties.

But he would not make young people join some “teenage Dad’s Army”, he says.

Sunak says he thinks his plan will be transformative for young people.

That prompts some audience laughter.

Sunak was better than expected. Starmer really has to address the Rayner issue once they're in power. He dodged Sunak's barb about that but surely it can't go on.

 

[Petcha]

Sky's got it to Sunak at 51%

 

[belboid]

She was shite. Didn’t tell sunak to stfu anything like enough.

These things need to be canned. They are only there for people who already know all the lines that will be deployed but have a geeky interest in how the punch and judy delivery might land with any morons who are watching by accident. Pointless import from America that came just as the whole concept of collective national scheduled telly was thankfully dying off.

YouGov poll finds Sunak won!

51-49, but still. My arse

Well there were certain things that came out of it. Sunak finally confirmed he would bring us out of the ECHR if they blocked the planes again and Starmer refused to say he'd raise taxes, pretty much confirming he will. But I've no idea why Sunak wanted six of these things. That was more than enough thanks.

Whoever wins, we lose.

 

[PR1Berske]

I think I've made it quite clear that I'm a political nerd. That debate was utter twaddle.

Structurally ridiculous, with an ineffective moderator in Julie Etchingham, it was doomed from the first restricted answer format. To try and force either man into one word answers was purile.

The polls will move by a gnat's labia after that. At most.

What's the Rayner issue (I didn't watch it)? Presumably not about her council house as that's settled now.

She’s a woman.

The purpose of these debates is to land a killer soundbite that cuts through and goes viral.

They are not theatre in the way PMQs may be

Same as Corbyn - she doesn't want to nuke anyone

Isn't she doing the rest of the debates? I didn't watch either.

A sad day.
