Anyone watching?

Rishi is on a loser because he is tainted by association with Boris Johnson. Plus being the richest man on the planet (or whatever he is) is a bad look.

Liz is just awful in myriad ways.

And the woman chairing it ought to have worn a neutral colour. A man wouldn't have got away with wearing a bright red suit.

Brexit is shit. Lockdown was shit. The Johnson cabinet was a disgrace (and not because of lockdown parties, as I had them too so I don't care about that).

I despair.

Rishi just said being prime minister is about being honest.

How exactly did be work so closely with BJ for so long.

bullshit.

I'd forgotten so just joined in! Is brilliant. Bet Starmer is watching with a big smile.

OneFrenchEgg · 25/07/2022 21:22

Except the party want bloody BJ back - probably hope RS will let him have a job

He likes the sound of his own voice. He is so shouty.

KezzabellaB · 25/07/2022 21:22

I just wish Rishi Sunak would stop interrupting. Rude cunt.

MarshaBradyo · 25/07/2022 21:23

I can’t believe he’s killing his own campaign by being so rude

SpindleInTheWind · 25/07/2022 21:23

Sophie needs to switch his bloody mic off if he carries on like this. Rude fucker.

Solasum · 25/07/2022 21:23

What a rubbish moderator

Westfacing · 25/07/2022 21:23

Truss has ducked out of the Andrew Neil interview - Sunak going ahead.

Remember how Bozo ducked that one, and Corbyn went ahead

OneFrenchEgg · 25/07/2022 21:23

Rishi reminds me of how PA thought he'd done a brilliant job on Newsnight 😂 no self awareness. I bet he thinks he's coming across as assertive and honest whereas he is like the bullish public school boss who never lets the juniors speak in meetings.

hotdogsjumpingfrogs · 25/07/2022 21:24

Shut the duck up Sunak!

But Truss doing her 'miss, miss, it's my turn' face is also annoying

Blossomtoes · 25/07/2022 21:24

Rishi is on a loser because he is tainted by association with Boris Johnson.

They were both in the cabinet. At least he resigned, she didn’t.

7eleven · 25/07/2022 21:24

This is becoming almost unwatchable as Sunak is interrupting so much. He’s a smug bastard who thinks he’s got it in the bag.

BaconAndAvocado · 25/07/2022 21:26

Omg will Sunak stop interrupting !!!

I’m finding it excruciating to watch 2 women being continually interrupted.

What an arrogant arsehole.

Wynona · 25/07/2022 21:27

Goodness did he not practice debating? Imagine how he will be as PM when he needs to listen to alternative views? I want to hear from Truss.

OneFrenchEgg · 25/07/2022 21:27

'I want to see the two of you talking together' - nice bit of marriage counselling there

Jux · 25/07/2022 21:27

He's a bulldozer. Heaven help us if he wins.

Doesn't listen, esp to women, doesn't speak to anyone just delivers a lecture, and just rolls over the women as if they're not there. Sick of it. I lasted longer than it deserves, through sheer grim determination

peppapigoverandoveragain · 25/07/2022 21:27

This is painful to watch. She's not able to convey a message well and she gets flustered when challenged. He's the opposite where he is too aggressive. If he calmed down a bit and wasn't interrupting he'd come across better.

Sporty2022 · 25/07/2022 21:27

Sunak was also given a fixed penalty notice after being investigated by the police.
And he’s on about honesty..

Westfacing · 25/07/2022 21:27

Low tax investment zones?

Marcipex · 25/07/2022 21:28

jeez they are both awful.
Truss has just called Faisal Islam ‘Faysal’

peppapigoverandoveragain · 25/07/2022 21:28

Completely committed to making sure she screws us all over as soon as she gets in. Confused

GreenLunchBox · 25/07/2022 21:29

Trump was more polite than Sunak in his debate Confused

I'm not a fan of Truss AT ALL, but Sunak is losing this for himself by being such a smug, aggressive, arrogant ARSE

Apparently his mum is a chemist. He's not mentioned that before 🙄🤔
