Anyone watching the leadership debate ?

[stillherenow]

Or is it just me being a saddo ?

This lefty household may well vote for TomT.
Seems like a sensible grounded pragmatist keen to learn in the job.

Tom is the only one who clearly said Boris was dishonest.

I like Tom, but I think him and Kemi might be strong contenders for next time around. Kemi speaks like my 20 DD, who I can see will end up in politics.

I haven't been convinced by Liz, especially with Rees-Mogg and Dorries behind her, but she's coming across better than I thought.

Overall, this household are in the Sunak camp though.

And will still be an improvement on the current position holder!

Same one as me.

Does anyone know why Channel 4 "got" the first debate. ?

I feel as if Truss is losing votes as she speaks.

I think Sunak is doing quite well. TT is all right. Kemi is good in this format.

Not sure why but Liz is reminding me of Boris Johnson... all that 'hot air' blowing and promises ...

Boris in his day would have wiped the floor with this lot!

We’re liking Tom & Kemi. DH likes Rishi, although none of us vote conservative.

Penny is coming across really badly, she’s so right wing! Liz looks very old, why did she go for a suit?

Taken from the Blair handbook of politicians public speaking gestures.

why did she go for a suit?

Pound shop Thatcher.

This debate is nuts.

I'm sure I heard Liz say "we need more unicorns"

Penny say "we can simplify tax system for free". Completely going to out myself, but I work for HMRC, we have been asking to simplify tax, so many ideas, but always been told it will cost money. Which it will. I'm not working for free.

Because Nadine Nadine lied about them being a public service broadcaster?

😂

I think Penny is grasping at straws here

Only party members and MPs get a vote, so what the general public think is not relevant unless they are party members.

You only get one shot of being PM. But if you arse lick enough you may get a decent Cabinet Office post like Home Secretary.

Penny is talking complete shit about energy bills. Ask Martin Lewis or Citizen's advice.

With waffle and bluster, and joking around. It's his IP.

He has always had a lot of hot air and a performer. It doesn't mean he is any better, by a long shot.

These just aren't like that. Most people aren't.

Go on Krishnan.

Magic money tree’s back. 😂

This is useful for them for the GE next year.

Kemi definitely wants to be in a Sunak cabinet
