Blimey, She’s not letting him off the hook at all. Cut above the rest of the interviewers IMO.

Oh my word, where did Beth Rigby go? Who is this dewy eyed, eye-lash fluttering woman who is asking Rishi questions?

Icantpaint · 12/06/2024 20:22

She’s a lot less interrupty now…

Reugny · 12/06/2024 20:22

Loved this interview. Beth Rigby on her best form and I thought Starmer came out fighting and sounded good. Tricky questions and he dealt with them really well.
I like him. I think he’s smart and has got Labour exactly to where it needs to be to be elected.
Of course he won’t want to have powers fettered on all sources of govt income for the whole parliament… things like fuel duty - that would be a mistake and would have knock on consequences for public services.

I like him too. He is evidently smart and genuine, I know he has said it quite a bit but I think it’s great that he had parents with regular jobs.

The young man with a beard asking the question about him turning into a robot politician was frankly just rude. He bloody is a politician so why would he not behave like one.

Pepsiisbetterthancoke · 12/06/2024 20:22

Guess we now know what box she will ticking on the 4th

NashvilleQueen · 12/06/2024 20:22

He hasn't looked at the audience once when giving his answers I don't think.

Greenbather · 12/06/2024 20:22

Her tone is gentler towards him, but good dig there about would he get to keep the job anyway.

TheShellBeach · 12/06/2024 20:22

She's letting Sunak answer.
She interrupted Sir Keir continually.

Yes so calm with pauses for breath.

NashvilleQueen · 12/06/2024 20:23

Definitely fewer interruptions

I thought the young man was voicing what a lot of the country was thinking.

Ooh. ‘I don’t use private HC’last week….

This week ‘Yes I use a private dentist’

As an adult who doesn’t use a Private Dentist with kids on NHS, I don’t know anybody who has had the choice of an NHS dentist as there aren’t any!

Rishi is Will from The Inbetweeners

As I said, he’s on the ropes. He’s not winning. She doesn’t need to kick a man when he’s down.

You are obviously also a Tory OP, but yes he does need to be held to account.

Icantpaint · 12/06/2024 20:26

Jesus

”halve inflation, grow the economy, you’ve done that”

from the interviewer!

Westfacing · 12/06/2024 20:26

Rishi getting tetchy, as usual

Pepsiisbetterthancoke · 12/06/2024 20:26

Beth is getting ripped apart on Twitter. Obvious bias showing

medianewbie · 12/06/2024 20:26

Rishis getting plenty of airtime !! No interruptions at all. What a contrast!!!

NashvilleQueen · 12/06/2024 20:27

Little flash of irritation there

Yes she does! She should treat each with the same standard of interviewing and the same approach. To do anything else is wrong

Greenbather · 12/06/2024 20:27

Tetchy, tetchy, tetchy! Ha ha

WinterMorn · 12/06/2024 19:37

Yes, and it’s glorious. WHY can’t he just answer the bloody question?

Because he doesn't want the headline that would generate overshadow everything else he says.

Political interviewers make it all about themselves, wanting their gotcha

storminabuttercup · 12/06/2024 20:27

This is like watching 2 different interviewers

Greenbather · 12/06/2024 20:27

Go on audience!
