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.

Happy Dom.

I do blame Boris for being too chicken to turn up and debate

At least all the others did that

Agree BigChoc It's actually funny that Hunt thought that quoting his record in the NHS would work in his favour

Not sure what that Brexiter expected to learn
There is no unicorn waiting to jump out of a hat

This tweet is good:

Rory relying on charm, Javid relying on background.

Gove, Hunt and Raab actually putting forward arguments and ideas. Though Raab weakest of the 3

#c4debate

Raab's facial expression is 'how the hell did this little pipsqueak overtake me' confuddlement.

So, so many tweets like this:

Michael Gove is flopping, he's like the guy who tries too hard and it comes over as a bit weird, like he's over compensating

#C4debate
#Channel4Debate
#Channel4LeadersDebate

Gove just got a laugh at saying he was impatient (as his weakness).

The EU team already saw what an incompetent blowhard Raab was, when he was actually trying to negotiate Brexit

He's another like Grayling - how the fuck do all these useless men (and a few useless women) get into government

Krishnan goes for "isn't your weakness 'hypocrisy?".

"nope. No"

But he looked rattled by it.

Hunt now speaking up for Gove, speaking up about drugs and mistakes 25 years ago. Says it trivalises it.

Christ these answers to weaknesses are awful.

Raab, has been on an 'how to do well in an interview' course.

It's a crap answer

Krishnan goes in for a question about his criticism to feminists.

Raab says he was taken out of context. And then goes on about a pile of things which are shite about women.

Weak applause for Hunt

I mean Raab!

Stewart says his own ignorance is his weakness. He's learning stuff during this campaign from experts. Says he's listening. And has to switch from 'strong leader mentality' and switch 'from the me to the we'

Krishnan says isn't he frail.

Stewart says he's willing to change mind and he's human... And that's a good quality.

Raab barely got a ripple of applause.

Stewart got a huge applause there. Love what he said about experts being those who work in those professions.

Javid says he's stubborn.

Gove defends Javid (re stuff about not invited to trump dinner)

Gove 'that is ridiculous that is ridiculous that is ridiculous' at the idea Javid was snubbed by Trump due to bigotry.

Not at all ridiculous, Gove.

Hunt says his communication skills with junior doctors was poor after a well received joke about not knowing his wife's nationality and her being his greatest strength.

His real admission goes down v badly.

The Secret Barrister @barristersecret

”What’s your greatness weakness?”

In fairness to one of these candidates, that answer is confidential and subject to an NDA.

😂

Raab's comments about women made it sound like he only thought about us as brood mares. He really makes my skin crawl.

Rory seems a change from the macho bullshit:

"This country doesn't need someone parading up and down the stage saying they have all the answers, but someone who is prepared to listen."

But twitter misses this and focus on

#C4Debate JH "I have the most amazing and forgiving wife" #quite

Raab's comments about women made it sound like he only thought about us as brood mares

DH said the exact same thing...
