And asylum seekers are not illegal immigrants.

Thanks for clarifying everybody!

Please ignore my past performance because I'm going to be different on the future

But obviously please still carry on thinking I am great because Furlough.

If labour had implemented furlough the conservatives would have said how bad it was!

I actually think Rishi might be stamping his feet behind his podium. He’ll scream until he’s sick next.

what a rude, entitled man he is.

Ooohhhj boom their for Starmer.

We can't return 100,000 migrants who's claims who haven't processed.

That was a new angle I hadn't even considered - because they aren't illegal until processed and refused asylum.

This is a very shouty debate

Mainly from Sunak. He’s so aggressive.

He's also very bold apparently 🙄

I wasn’t aware we were going to have heat pumps forcibly installed on 6 July.

They can come and do my house.

Sunak has always spoken to someone who has said the opposite of what everyone else thinks. The armed forces are not supportive.

In other news - Seb Payne had failed to be selected as Tory candidate for Surrey Heath.
Ah bless.

He really can't catch a break can he!

Christ Sunak was awful.

Going over to YouTube now to see what Campbell and Stewart thought of all that in a livestream. Not started yet though was supposed to start as soon as the debate ended.

That format just seemed rushed. No chance to explore policies in detail. It was too combative

Poor choice of words ‘I’ll always have your back’.

Et tu, Brute?

My Dog at the end of that exhausting hour.

Sunak really should stop talking about fucking furlough. Having received no furlough pay and dh wages dropping to 80% we were fucked over.

When work came back, we did overtime to clear the backlog of bills and finally thought we were clear. We've been hit with a bill for overpayment of tax credits now so have to repay £2000.

Thanks for that Richi.

Glad I watched the football by the sounds of it Off to catch up with this thread

Apparently Sunak paid for furlough all by himself!

Pretty much how I feel @BIossomtoes !

Starmer really managed to get under Sunak's skin at times. We need more of that.

Sunak's little smile at the end of his closing statement was sooooooo sincere.

@Lifechangeahead definite Violet Elizabeth Bott vibes from Sunak!

Other MN threads seem to think that Sunak 'won' because he was forcefull, and Starmer 'lost 'because he wasn't forceful/wasn't charismatic/was too bland.
JFC.
It's the future of our country, not a personality contest.
But then, what was I expecting from a country where a good slice of the population would vote for Johnson or Farage 'because they seem like good blokes to go down the pub with'. Rather than people with sound ideas, integrity, a care for the people.

I can only hope that the MN opinions are largely down to Bots, rather than reflecting the populace.

Still, the polls. I cling on to the polls.
