Starmer + Sunak debate thread

[MidnightPatrol]

Anyone interested in discussing the debate this evening? On ITV now.

Yes, the whole show seems to make the assumption that everyone watching has the IQ and concentration span of a goldfish. It's insulting.

Starmer flaky and evasive as fuck

I think if more talk allowed, Starmer would slaughter soundbite Sunak.

with what, no policies, no ideas and no costings?

Fewer questions, more depth would be interesting. There appears to be 45 second answer rules - my god most of the words are being spoken by the presenter, “Thank you” and essentially, shut up!

It’s really bad

This

Sunak wants the country to forget about the last 14 years.

Sunak:
"if you think Labour are going to win, start saving"

Remember this. Pay attention. He's right.

oh yes and start saving

Sunak is so tetchy

People lolling at National service idea 🤣

Yeah @changeison

It's been pretty hard to save under the tories , guess he means better times are coming if we will have savings !

Starmer has had a nightmare, as a lawyer I’d expected him to be far better. He cannot provide an answer for anything.

Sunak interrupts far more. Sunak seems to be allowed a second response more. There should be someone timing, maybe two minutes not 45 seconds, and a buzzer going at the end of the time allowed.
Sunak wants to focus on the future, not surprising when their recorded on NHS, education,; migration ext is so poor. I'm surprised Starner hasn't focused more on the obvious ...if they are going to be so good in the future why hasn't that happened in the last 14 years. How can the country trust future plans from Sunak. They've had 14 years to; mprove things. 🤔

Will you explain what you mean @changeison? I’m not following you.

Starmer looks like a naughty schoolboy being grilled by a headmaster, he's hopeless.

I was fully expecting Starmer to wipe the floor with Sunak (given his legal training) but he's coming across to me as quite weak and unprepared.

Sunak is very polished and scripted but I think he's coming across better.

You have arriculated my feelimgs perfectly in your post

Starmer not as good as I thought he would be: he seems out of his depth
Sunak as pompous and annoying as I expected

Starmer is just hopeless. He hasn't answered a single question with any details or costs. I still have no idea at all what Labour are proposing to do. I'm not a Tory voter but Sunak is at least answering all the questions..

exactly!

yeah. vague as fuck!

Why is Starmer so bad at this? An ex lawyer and barrister should be thrashing Sunak, but it seems the other way around.

God Starmer can't even answer the football question!!

if he does get in (god help us) let's pray it's a short spell in Number 10
