Tonight's TV debate Sunak v Starmer - any predictions?

[CallingOccupantsOfInterplanetaryCraft]

Anyone up for a watch thread? Maybe even debate bingo. I know I know, don't threaten me with a good time. (Bingo suggestions: natural party of business, Labour has no plan, end the chaos, Rayner will take over, assorted references to Starmer's time as DPP probably blaming for Jimmy Saville again, inflation is down etc etc.)

At this point I seriously doubt anything like this will remotely change the game Nick Clegg style. I read somewhere the only way Sunak could come out of this ahead in the polls is if Starmer pulled off a mask scooby-doo style to reveal he's Jeremy Corbyn, which admittedly would be great telly.

I'm so fed up with the endless rhetoric but will definitely watch later anyway.

Both had a nice hair do.

Can't watch it as DH has commandeered the TV, so just place marking here in case anything incredible happens

I just want someone to ask them to explain what a woman is.

I don’t. Had enough of that.

Plan plan plan plan zzzzz

Crikey he’s awful.

Shall we have a shot every time he says “plan”?

I hope Starmer stays on what Labour will do

Thats what he started with it was good start and gave the message he has changed the Labour Party this is really important

Same. I'm more interested in how they are going to sort out the COL child poverty, the NHS and education.

oh fgs wish Sunak would shut up re ‘labour don’t have a plan’ when they do. Wish tories would have a plan rather than just attack labour.

Oh wow the guy married to a multi billionionaire's daughter answering that woman on the COL!

Same. It's a distraction.

Wish they would actually say what they were going to do rather than take shots at each other.

He just can’t possibly understand how she feels. So out of touch.

We'd be drunk already!

Well done starmer

£2000, my arse.

Both so robotic so far.

I just said this to DH.

I’d like Starmer to explain why he will encourage predatory men to enter women’s and children’s safe spaces.

Starmer didn't say what he was going to do though!

Apparently Sunak & Starmer get on quite well & have a good personal relationship. The probably bonded over their shared loathing of Boris Johnson.

Starmer needs to say what Labour is going to do.

Not sure how either of them (or their advisers) think this is going to encourage people to vote for them.

Another thread derailed by single issue voters.
