While she has resigned as deputy leader for this bizarre referendum thing, she was quite happy to carry out cuts as deputy leader for years, arguably the stunt is about compensating for never challenging Julie Dore.
Not a great candidate imo.

Although perhaps some would say she's a great candidate for what is usually a Lib Dem seat.

Yep, it's both horrible and ridiculous. It manages to piss about with Labour's strongest issue while insulting the very voters they need to win back from the BP. And in a bigger, probably more important context, it's an example of how labour got to where they are.

A group of lads that wouldn't quite get an invite to Prince Andrew's shooting weekend. Volunteer beaters perhaps?

Exasperated, not angry.
Hmm. You’re right she didn’t resign over trees, but the rest.... She and the others (inc Sophie in rother valley who is deffo a ‘proper lefty’ that we’re all campaigning for) resigned over general democracy issues not, simplistically, the referendum. She was deputy leader for six minutes, not years, and, while she undoubtedly did vote for cuts as a labour councillor, she voted for far fewer than chris peace did - because she wasn’t a councillor for half as long - and chris is definitely the best of the local candidates in marginal seats.
tldr - Olivia is alright, definitely a lefty just no revolutionary. Slightly better than Francyne in penistone, who is still worth campaigning for.

No. It's just a reference to the anti-immigrant sentiment, which clearly carried the day in the frauderendum.

I mean omnipotent supreme being and so on but "strengthen us to make politics a noble calling that serves the common good of all" is a bit of an ask.

A bit conspiracy theory -ish isn't it?
It was broadcast in full on the programme, and then a condensed version for a news clip. So they cut the bits where no-one is speaking. They have the audience clapping the question but not the brief murmur of laughter.
So what.
"Utterly Extraordinary"? Nah.

Yeah you're right, laughing at old people who are probably brexit racists having heart attacks is sound

No, it's an illustration of how media bias works. However many people watched the debate live, you can be certain that many more will only have watched that clip. How they edit things for clips matters.

Whilst it's not a major conspiracy, making a decision to cut out people laughing at the PM is still worthy of note.

He'll go back to no 10 and say "the people love me. As I was coming back they called out we hail Boris johnson' but his security detail will put him right, 'it was we hate Boris Johnson, sir'Oh yes it is.
He's the Prime Minister.
People are laughing at him.
To his face.

Is it an encouragement to vote for Jo Swinson's Nuclear Annihilating Liberal Democrats?

Who am I to say you're wrong
They were laughing at Johnson & replaced it with clapping so it seemed the audience was supporting him & not laughing at him.
