Argh they did that super annoying this of coming back from an ad break to say goodbye. Is that Sky's influence?

MunchMunch · 29/05/2017 22:04

See how quick he was sitting back down though Grin

We cannot leave the EU without a deal! Honestly, I despair that anyone thinks her position on this is in anyway adequate.

EnthusiasmIsDisturbed · 29/05/2017 22:04

I thought both have come across better than I expected May isn't getting it easy on her uturns and that IRA issue is getting more attention and will do coming up to the day we vote

Corbyn tends to go off track and into his rally speech mode bit like a sales pitch May doesn't quite so much both avoid answering question directly it's what politicians do

What a poor choice we have

BorisTrumpsHair · 29/05/2017 22:04

Loved the "standing ovation" of one middle aged white Tory councillor man for May Grin

intheknickersoftime · 29/05/2017 22:02

That was my take on it Boris, and if that's what she's saying it's not bloody good enough.

BorisTrumpsHair · 29/05/2017 22:00

I thought the no deal reference was related to our leaving. She is prepared to leave the EU in 2 years without a deal in place. So we are out. No exit deal but also no new trade deal etc with EU in place.

LuluLovesFruitcakes · 29/05/2017 22:00

When people try that tactic in Deal or No Deal they usually end up with fuck all... I'm not sure a no deal is a good thing Confused

DriftingDreamer · 29/05/2017 21:59

Oh she loves her bloody difficult woman line.
Tragic...
But- the Daily Mail etc will be declaring success...

hiimmumma · 29/05/2017 21:58

@intheknickersoftime
She is alluding to the possibility of not leaving the EU..

intheknickersoftime · 29/05/2017 21:57

No deal is better than a bad deal, what does that mean? It makes no sense.

DriftingDreamer · 29/05/2017 21:57

She is being allowed to soundbite,,,

DriftingDreamer · 29/05/2017 21:54

Schools matter to me...
She is getting an easier ride....

IvorHughJarrs · 29/05/2017 21:54

Hardcore That piece makes interesting reading but is a direct opposite of the views of Yanis Varoufakis who says negotiations with the EU are not about diplomacy or reaching compromise but are solely about them trying to victimise their opponents and screw them into the ground so maybe the "bloody difficult woman" thing might be more useful after all. Sadly we just don't know as we are in uncharted territories

LuluLovesFruitcakes · 29/05/2017 21:53

She's still not answering questions properly for Paxman 😳

He's giving her an easy ride though.

That bloke in the audience that mouthed "bollocks" was brilliant😂

Saucery · 29/05/2017 21:52

Oooh, the You Had One Job question. Grin

KillDora · 29/05/2017 21:48

Damn posted too soon.

What I really liked was that it was quite clear that he doesn't rule over people.

I am really unsure on some of his views, but what I think was obvious, was that he compromises depending of what others say. (I was thinking of the manifesto)

Whistleblower0 · 29/05/2017 21:48

Giving may an easy ride, and allowing her to waffle.

Saucery · 29/05/2017 21:48

He did perform very well. Would need a decent cabinet behind him to back up those soft spoken promises though.
He has been the best in this debate though, recovered well when Paxman attacked.

perhapsiwill · 29/05/2017 21:48

Ask her about schools please Paxman

perhapsiwill · 29/05/2017 21:47

He's not interrupting her as much

intheknickersoftime · 29/05/2017 21:47

Err no he isn't Hmm

DriftingDreamer · 29/05/2017 21:46

TM is getting an easier ride.....

KillDora · 29/05/2017 21:46

I disagree.

I think he actually came across as someone who could be a competent leader. Not at all like the bumbling idiot I thought he was.

EnthusiasmIsDisturbed · 29/05/2017 21:45

Err but he is Hmm

Agree refuse it's a sad state of affairs
