Westministenders: Hustings and Humilation

[RedToothBrush]

Round 1 has passed.
Boris is winning. But these are the Tories. Surprises might yet happen.

But the chances are the lying buffon is full speed ahead to be the next PM. As long as he manages to keep his mouth shut.

Unfortunately being Prime Minister involves talking. This might prove to be something that bursts the BorisMania rather rapidly.

A GE is still very much on the cards.

And we might face the Constitutional and undemocratic shutting down of parliament to satisfy the Tory Faithless.

Meanwhile the EU couldn't give less shits. They just think we are wasting the time we were granted in good faith.

31st October beckons with No Deal.

Pieces to camera he's doing aren't connecting with audience. It's getting comments like want to hurl, don't trust etc

Barely a comment about Raab in that last exchange....

An honest answer would be that NI farmers would be fucked by No Deal

which is why NI would probably support an NI-only backstop and let GB have their US FTA, Social Darwinist Brexit

Long analysis why, by Tony Connelly that I linked upthread

'believe in the bin' is going to stick. Great soundbite.

Already seen a few comments about it.

Yikes, do you think we're going to make it until 8pm without Raab knocking Rory out?!

Rory Stewart giving punches.

Hunt is very quiet.

Fight fight!!

Lewis Goodall@lewis_goodall
Gove and Stewart having the best night of it so far. Hunt vanishing. #C4Debate

Lewis isn't reading comments about Gove!!!

Before today, verdict was that Gove is finished

This was his last chance to rescue his leadership bid
So far, he shows no signs of doing that

tbh, of the Brexiters, Gove is the most sane & knowledgeable
However, he is not likeable

Has Rory got any chance of making it through the next round of votes ? I really hope he does so he can challenge Boris in the next debate.

Comments about Raab looking like he's getting visibly wound up by Stewart.

I don't think Gove is doing well at all < shrugs >

Raab does come across as an angry car salesman (with apologies to car salesman)

Raab always looks one spilt pint away from losing his shit.

imo, Raab always looks on the verge of roid rage

I wouldn't be surprised if that's his drug of choice

Stewart talks about tariffs...

And there's comments like this...

@RoryStewartUK clearly the only person thinking on #C4Debate...

Rory would talk to Farage and to trade unions

Presumably part of his aim to get a broader consensus in the country about how the hell we get out of this mess

Stewart talks about tariffs...

And there's comments like this...

@RoryStewartUK clearly the only person thinking on #C4Debate...

But I bet none of those people are Tory members who'll be able to vote for him.

BTW, Stewart has ruled out serving in a Johnson cabinet today.

His advances to Farage are sincere, but he also knows that he's unlikely to be taken up on the offer. That's possibly the point...

Agree that Rory looks strongest thus far. Pleasantly suprused by Javid although he tried the sauntly high road approach just there.

I reckon Raab will be requesting extra water during the break

Johnstone would have been so out of his depth. Stewart would have wiped the floor with him. Shame we didn’t get to see that.

Agree fluffy but people will still be looking at that...

I reckon Dom will need a stiff drink after this.

Rory rejects No Deal

Hunt says Brexit must work for the 48 % too

< ..... but No Do Brexit, or anything but the softest Brexit will only work for the wealthiest 2% or so >
