I am not impressed with any of them. I do not believe a word any of them say.

MarshaBradyo · 15/07/2022 20:54

I remember a debate with a worm as people voted where was that

Honestly you could not make it up. How can she stand there and say that she uses an NHS dentist?Hmm

Show quote history

😂

I use an NHS dentist who for certain teeth like a chipped tooth does private work...

They all love their country 🤮

L1ttledrummergirl · 15/07/2022 20:55

Sunak just lied 3 times in the start of his closing statement

Westfacing · 15/07/2022 20:55

Rishi's such a creep!

I wish politicians wouldn't talk about love of country - it means nothing

L1ttledrummergirl · 15/07/2022 20:51

I look Tom more every question.
As far as I'm concerned the rest of them are in it for themselves and can get to fuck.

He is SOOOOO cheesy. I cannot imagine him as PM. He speaks so slowly. How would he ever get anything done?

Focus on the future...

They want to improve public services by cutting taxes...

Truss is as bad.

Decades of slow growth - who is to blame lady?

Westfacing · 15/07/2022 20:56

I hope they have verbal fisticuffs; with each other backstage!

minou123 I worked for HMRC when they brought the new computer system in for PAYE & it was awful, it took 3 times longer to do anything, the old COP system worked fine, why couldn't just have expanded that system or built a new system around it I will never know.

I expect the company that invented and supplied the new system was a crony and got a backhander of lots of money.
Like the NHS computer system debacle.
And PPE.

MarshaBradyo · 15/07/2022 20:56

yep

Kemi top for me
Then Rishi

others can’t remember much but cheese and waffle

GreenLunchBox · 15/07/2022 20:57

Truss must certainly be finished after this

Westfacing · 15/07/2022 20:57

Well that was a damp squib of a hustings.

That tooth thing is just bollocks. Utter nonsense. Dentists are seeing people and have been for ages.

NHS dentists are almost non existant now and the ones that do, have massive waiting lists.

Westfacing · 15/07/2022 20:58

What a motley crew, jeez

Exactly

Even if you can get an appointment you're in the chair for two minutes and they just count your teeth then tell you to come back in twelve months Hmm

Kant · 15/07/2022 20:59

Tom is by far the best candidate, but ffs. What a shower. What a bunch of meaningless, insulting crap they speak.

The bar is so fucking low.

PermanentTemporary · 15/07/2022 21:00

Anyone who thinks Liz is the one for them after that...

I thought Kemi and Tom were the least unimpressive but not great. Penny made the mistake of saying 'one day you'll get a vote' which reminded me I'm not fucking getting one now. Sounded like promising Father Christmas.

Rishi didn't stand out enough.

venusandmars · 15/07/2022 21:02

But what is the point?

If you're not a member of the conservative party you don't get a vote.

The next PM is decided by a very small number of people. It is not a democratic election.

cakeorwine · 15/07/2022 21:02

I wonder what the Labour front bench thought of that? Probably a lot of chatter on their Whats App group and commenting on the economics of their plans

You’d think.

SpindleInTheWind · 15/07/2022 21:03

I'm watching it on +1 now to see just how bad it was, inspired by this thread. Thank you.
