Earning £70,000 does not align you with millionaires. Why am I even bothering to watch this twaddle?

Bit I do think Rory is being the most honest

outofnothing · 18/06/2019 20:34

Bit? But

sotired2 · 18/06/2019 20:34

Why had Rory taken his tie off? And yes he isnt comfy on that chair!

RageAgainstTheVendingMachine · 18/06/2019 20:35

Ooh great question Tina

MyNewNameForNow · 18/06/2019 20:35

Gove just comes across as so insincere and just plays to whatever the question-asker wants to hear.

RageAgainstTheVendingMachine · 18/06/2019 20:36

Gove can fuck off - he was a shit education secretary

Myimaginarycathasfleas · 18/06/2019 20:37

Cacophony. Can't follow the debate at all because of all the overtalking

MyNewNameForNow · 18/06/2019 20:38

It's like the boardroom on The Apprentice.

Saucery · 18/06/2019 20:40

They’re all very good at the empty Thank you. And what a chatty lot Sheep Farmers have turned out to be Hmm

MyNewNameForNow · 18/06/2019 20:40

This isn't going to do EM's career any good, sadly.

RageAgainstTheVendingMachine · 18/06/2019 20:41

Hunt can fuck off an' all. Shit health secretary and pandering to Gove just in case.

SushiGo · 18/06/2019 20:42

All the spiny spin spin is making me cross.

A quarter of kids are not leaving primary school unable to read and write.

VictoriaBun · 18/06/2019 20:42

I can't stop looking at the leaning tower of big Ben ! !😂

RageAgainstTheVendingMachine · 18/06/2019 20:43

Rory is being the most honest - but does need to have a plan/manifesto more than I ain't making any promises

Saucery · 18/06/2019 20:43

Omg, he couldn’t even be arsed to remember the questioner’s name for 30 seconds.

MyNewNameForNow · 18/06/2019 20:44

Omg, he couldn’t even be arsed to remember the questioner’s name for 30 seconds.

But it's okay, because his great grandfather blah blah.

"I'm a Muslim too!"

Does that turmp "I'm working class!" claims.

Hunt shifting uncomfortably with no tribe to claim...

I guess Gove trumpeting his record as education minister will sell with the Tory party voters.

Bullshit Bingo Bojo.

TheSultanofPingu · 18/06/2019 20:45

Oh god if this is our next PM, then shoot me now!

Persea · 18/06/2019 20:45

Well done Emily for challenging Boris re Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe. How dare he try and wriggle out of that one.

RageAgainstTheVendingMachine · 18/06/2019 20:45

YES Emily. Have at it!

RageAgainstTheVendingMachine · 18/06/2019 20:47

Where the fuck has Jeremy been? I had to deal with racist incidents at school a lot...

Cloverisover · 18/06/2019 20:48

Boris seems to just piggy back onto any remotely sensible thing any of the others say. I'm sure I saw that on the West wing once.
