Apparently Sunak is bossing it.

(not watching it or the football...bored of both)

If bossing it means shouting over everything Starmer says, then sure! I never thought I'd say this, but I detest this vile c**t even more than Boris!

[steviewevie]

I'm actually impressed how Sunak is still going after what has been a disaster of a campaign... everyone else seems to have given up.

[Kurosagi]

I was looking forward to Sunak losing his sh*t in the election campaign as in the past he's struggled in public under pressure, but so far I've been disappointed that he's kept it together. I guess he's de-mob happy and counting down the days.

 

Started watching the debate during half time (and missed the second Georgia goal because I stayed watching too long, grrrrr) and I just can't warm to Starmer or trust what he's saying. And if I have to hear about his time at CPS or his dad's bloody tool factory one more bloody time...

I expect he's sick of saying it too.

He gives the impression he's got nothing else to say.

 

That post debate poll is quite funny. I think it's best summed up by that earlier bloke's question which was essentially you're both shite and are you really the best your party's have got.

[Kurosagi]

Oooh, Starmer came straight in and nailed Sunak about the NI cut and how it would cost £46bn and so where would that money come from cause it's used for NHS, social care etc. Why can't he be like that more of the time - clear, quick, concise. Most of the time it's rabbit in the headlines, bluster or ramble.

[Kurosagi]

'headlights' obviously.

No one likes politicians at moment...and it isn't helped by them not being straight with us.

But if they were no one would vote for them so...

Do we think the fireworks are going off at the farm yet? I like Weds fireworks. Bloody boring stuck at home watching dull leaders talk shite at each other.

Yes but you can have a poo on your own toilet tomorrow morning.

[Kurosagi]

So the audience can't agree who won the debate but they know that they hate Sunak.

I like shitting outdoors, maybe I'll just go in the back garden and freak the dog out.

Jonathan Ashworth was also going after bangladeshis. Is it left wing now to stir up racial tension for a few racist votes or whats going on?

[LJS]

The most depressing thing for me is the assumption that the main thing voters care about is how much tax they wil pay. I have never cast a vote in my life based  on whether I will be better or worse off. I'd be bloody delighted to pay more tax if I thought it would lead to better public services.

Well they must get feedback from polling and focus groups that people do care about it 

[Kurosagi]

You're not alone @LJS, I seem to remember polling before the election that showed voters were prepared to pay more tax to help public services.

 

Sunak has continued to repeat this attack line from the very first leader debate...and it made no difference then to the polling figures so quite why he thinks it'll make a difference now is anyone's guess. Maybe he likes the sound of it and knows he's got nothing else in his bag.

[steviewevie]

..it would be nice if they actually made the case for tax rises that are currently needed unless we want more austerity...maybe labour will do that once they get in.

The Labour Party is institutionally racist.

Genuinely wish Liz kendall had won in 2015.

 

An alternate reality where new new Labour got utterly whacked in the subsequent election(s) - worse than Corbyn, and all the little gobshites like ashworth and streeting were f**ked off, then the left came in in 2020 and would now be ready to take power and do the uk a whole lot of good.

She'd probably be about to win a 3rd term.
