Anyone watching the leadership debate ?

[stillherenow]

Or is it just me being a saddo ?

It just shows that the majority of people don’t care about it any more

Bullshit. It's currently fucking over practically every aspect of the economy. Northern Ireland? The ECHR?

That particular self-inflicted wound will go on harming this country for decades. Millions of people care about it deeply. It will effect everything, and not in a positive way.

The morons who 'delivered Brexit' are pretending that it's all going spiffingly, and frankly one would have to be just as dim to believe them.

It doesn't seem to have had much impact on the betting odds. Still a 3 horse donkey race

I’ve never voted Tory and I dislike all of their policy’s but for me Tom came across as the most sensible and in touch with normal people. I liked his straight answers.

Kemi will go far but I don’t think she’s ready for the top job.

Penny- she’s Johnson in a dress, a liar and arrogant.

Rushi-always think he’s taking to his audience as if we’re 5 years old.

Liz- well she was as dreadful as I expected. She’s not improved since the cheeeeeeese incident has she.

cheeeeeeese incident?

Funny how Tories were merciless in mocking Diane Abbot and yet somehow think Liz Truss is a suitable person to lead the whole fucking country. Meanwhile if Johnson was a pound shop Churchill, Penny Morduant is a pound shop Theresa May.

Was it inappropriate use of cheese, by any chance?
Was she actually trying to Google tractors?

It’s the military side of Tom. I remember when the Army turned up at one of Boris’s briefings when the vaccines were rolled out.

I breathed a sigh of relief. I also had a boyfriend many years ago and boy could that man iron a shirt and make me feel safe (and I honestly I don’t need anyone for that!).

I know. Most people don’t care though. It doesn’t feature when they’re asked about their concerns, ergo no questions about it.

100% agree with you ok everything you said here!

That's a shit result - 12% - for Mordaunt. The MPs will need to pay heed to that, as the penny drops (no pun intended) that she's going to deliver unelectability to the Tories.

With Morduant it seems the packaging is great - attractive enough, serious looking, nice middle class accent, not part of the Boris regime - but there’s very little substance or original thought. She’s a wonderful blank slate for people to fantasise about a time when Britain was a world power - or at least when the average Brit was as wealthy as the average German/Frenchman. But that’s it, it’s just an image.

I am curious why, even though they have been in the government all this time, it’s only now that real change can happen 🙄

Has there been a credible explanation why Wallace withdrew when he was the front runner? I know he said he wanted to concentrate on being a defence minister so that might need to be discounted.

I'd like to ban the word deliver from future debates.

Cheeeeese incident?

Google Liz Truss and cheese. A video will pop up of her taking about it. She sounds deranged.

You were in the army, we get it. But you are not any more and we need to move on to the job you want to be doing, not the job you did.

Yep. I was impressed with him during the Afghan thing, but I've barely heard him speak without referencing his army career. It's SO predictable and irritating now.

why loathe?

I appreciate we shouldn’t really comment on looks but Truss desperately needs a makeover. I mean she’s three younger than Penny Mourdant but looks like her older deranged auntie that no ever talks about anymore

Well on the plus side I think that Labour will walk the next election

I'm out for the next one (Sunday?) but would be interested in reading a thread on peoples impressions , if anyone starts one please tag me if you remember !

She did explain. She said by having growth

He said after talking it through with them it wasn't the right time for his family and children

Thanks for this. I couldn't summon the effort to reply to that poster

It's fucked over our kids and is a huge part of the reason why you can't get an NHS appt but 'mAjOrItY oF pEoPle dOnT cArE aBoUt iT aNyMorE'. FFS 🙄

Being in Bozo's cabinet obviously is extremely ageing. I am SHOCKED she is supposedly only 46

Because her politics are atrocious

PM does look good if that helps.

I can’t imagine Tom and Starmer up in PMQ - a stale male cheese quagmire
