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.

No Deal

This is the worst pile of piffle I’ve ever watched in my life. I am despairing.

I'm watching live tweets as they update under the c4debate hash tag.

Very few leavers are not watching this debate.

I really want Stewart to get through to the next round so that Johnson has to debate with him.

And I suppose if the Tories are looking toward the next GE, they need a leader who'll attract people back, which Stewart could be. They need to decide whether Brexit or remaining in existence is their main aim.

Hunt is so contrived in his answers. Not sure if that will be noticed though...

Rory would talk to Farage and to trade unions

Since Farage can rouse people then it's probably not an unwise thing to do.Someone has to get to the bottom of what his appeal is - tease out the real reasons.
Some sharp questioning soon shows Farage fall to pieces, and start whining about how it's unfair.

afaik, Rory rules out No Deal, but would aim for a soft Brexit, not Revoke

I'm watching it with mute on and then rewinding and watching when it looks like the audience have got a bit animated. I've done that once!

Urgh Hunt trying to cover all bases; we will improve education, race relations, generational disadvantage and the quality of cotton socks.

BigChoc imo, Raab always looks on the verge of roid rage

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

Now you’ve made me think - he’s got that roid shoulder shape

Lost count of tweets like this:
Michael Gove makes me boke! #c4debate

Not much else about him either!!!

Javid isn't getting any traction on twitter at all.

Javid referring to it being the third anniversary of the murder of Jo Cox.

Remember, Javid:
The Labour Remainer murdered by a far right terrorist

I resent that question to Sajid. What a cheek Why concentrate on his race when they're not doing the same with the other candidates.

Interesting Hunt brought up education...

This is why:

Gove was the most divisive education secretary in decades. Glad he has reminded the audience of that. #C4Debate #ToryLeadershipContest

John Bull nailed it last year in his marvellous Tweet series on No 10

Gove ^^

Raab doesn't seem to be getting much airtime tbh.

How many times has @Jeremy_Hunt said the word #Entrepreneur since #Marr this morning am bored of hearing it all day and now on #C4Debate. What was the name of his business so we can look at companies house?

Lots of these tweets.

Loving Rory's fighting spirit. He's schmoozing the crowd. The flirt!

Now Hunt wants to do for social care what he did for the NHS
< shudder >

Rory only one to raise a laugh (several times) so far tonight.

Interesting tweet:

Yep, I am convinced this #C4debate format just doesn’t work. My take is we are learning precisely ZERO from it, and I don’t blame Boris for dropping out. However, I have learned a lot of Rory’s walks and talks, and yes I am a Brexiteer!!

Rory is very personable and funny. I am impressed. Sort of.

Definitely one for the (near) future

Like Rory's practicality regarding funds for career change mid life. Very important as the concept of a job for life changes.
