Thanks moofolk.
This clearly wasn't a hustings in any conventional sense of the word - as a PP said, more like a chat show. Benjamin Cohen reading the questions out 
and any interaction from the audience barred. "No awkwad questions, now people!!
Moofolk - I'm watching some of it this morning - and when you asked about the conversion therapy and children - and that man shouted "Fuck off you terf" - I sensed some real discomfort on Starmer and Nandy's faces.
I believe they are perfectly aware that the treatment of children IS very problematic (they must have at least heard about the Tavistock whistleblowers!) and I do think it makes them uncomfortable. I'm partic shocked at Starmer - a Labour veteran, and I thought previous "solid Labour bloke" just being swept along with this ideology.
There is something deeply rotten in the Labour party - "Blair" (the only labour leader to have won an election in my living memory) is now a dirty word. Why? Not left enough? - well, he won 3 elections. Iraq? I was against Iraq too - but these v young Labourites must have v little meaningful memory of it, surely? I was bf'ing my DS1 when it started, and he's 18 now. But it's become something to vilify Blair - and I suppose as is the culture now, assume every single other thing he ever did was "bad" ?
