Anyone watching the leadership debate ?

[stillherenow]

Or is it just me being a saddo ?

I am watching it. With a G&T and a side order of cynicism.

Yep we are

I really came on to say that I wonder if Liz Truss is styling herself on Thatcher...she'll probably dig out a handbag in a minute

And I think Penny might drop some votes after this ? Bit hopeless .

I just swore at the TV

Much will depend on whether the audience has been carefully selected and the questions edited.

My order of who is doing best in this debate:

Kemi
Tom
Rishi
Penny
Truss

This has nothing to do with my preferences as Kemi is my bottom choice

Penny and Truss are just not answering the questions and are just parroting VACCINES! DELIVERED! GOT BREXIT DONE!

I'm very nervous of Kemi's views but I like her based on simply this debate .

My order is
Kemi
Rishi
Liz
Tom
Penny

I wonder if Rishi is standing on a step

I think they've positioned them so he isn't so obviously short .

I can’t watch it.

Load of muppets fiddling while Rome burns.

Same. Absolutely HATE Kemi's politics but I knew she'd smash this before it even started. The others are just used to parroting the party line: VACCINES! GOT BREXIT DONE! DELIVERED!

I wish they'd ban the word 'deliver' from this debate 😡

Only #TugItHard was the one to admit that Johnson is a liar! He's gone up in my impression based on that alone.

Tim is waffling 🙄

My order for the debate so far

Kemi / Rishi two top
Tom T
Penny M
Liz Truss

Tom looks a bit red needs a make up fix

TugItHard 🤣

Tom T is the best by far.

Ooh this is good question

Watching…. Penny isn’t great. Like Tom.. Sunak is doing better than I expected.

I actually like Kemi: she's wiping the floor with Penny.

Kemi speaks so well

great intonation and clarity

She just seems that she means what she says.

Kemi won’t win but she is definitely one to watch for the future.

Liz is doing SOOOOO badly
