Anyone else watching Keir Starmer being savaged by Beth Rigby`/

[Netaporter]

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

It really is. Absolutely terrible.

Lol. No, just someone who wants politicians to get back to an age when telling the truth was just how it was - not a strategy. Even Thatch used to ring in to the Today programme to correct John Humphries.

Waiting for the “I gave the country furlough” soundbite. It’s as bad as “my dad was a toolmaker”

Hrs running to be Prime Minister for the next 5 years, its not a boxing match.

They need to be interviewed differently.

You need to let Rishi talk as he gets pissed off and says something stupid.

Keir can be interrupted and he doesn't get angry.

Why?
She should be impartial.

Righto OP, you will be saying Beth is a Labour voter next.

It would be better for Rishi Sunak if Beth did keep interrupting tbh. by letting his speak she is just giving him more rope. And he is getting really rattled.

🤣🤣🤣

Hardly, ‘a lot of the country’, I don’t think so. The question was pointless, what does the answer tell us about what the Labour Party are going to do - that’s what I want to hear as does everyone I know! Personality politics is empty gesturing, like Farage and his Merry Men down the pub act!

He can't look the audience in the eye. He does it so fleetingly.

and he didn’t sound as from Yorkshire at all.

She isnt letting him answer

….

The issue is very simple : People expect no taxes or bills to rise BUT these same people expect The NHS to improve, Improve Mental health care, and Social care improvements
How?
How do people think things can improve without money.

Agreed. for some reason his team thinks letting him do what he wants is a great idea.

I’m convinced whoever is advising him is deliberately saying ‘yes great idea’ when the opposite is clearly the case

I paid £125 for a clean and check up private. Would much prefer to pay nhs prices. But limited nhs dentists so no choice. Lucky I can afford it.

Totally agree!

I am enjoying this programme, Beth's impartiality is actually making him look even worse, and I didn't think that was possible.

Ooh Brexit, a poison chalice, here we go.

Actually when Sunak said Labour's policies would cost £2K lots of people said fine.

Problem is Labour's manifesto is launched tomorrow so I don't know what policies the Tories were using in their calculations.

Also the Tories have cost us £3K a year rather than £2K over 5 years

I Agree. Whatever your political persuasion it has been spicy.

And at least we don;t have that twat farage to deal with.

Definitely can agree with that OP 😀

Here is the big tax lie now.

TBF, Beth is giving him the withering look too.

Sophie Ridge would have been a much better choice for this

Rigby is awful. Like BBC choosing Kuenssberg for interviews rather than Vic Darbyshire.

I’ve enjoyed her style. Realistic questions. withering looks. For both.
