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.

The private healthcare is a difficult question for him but I don’t believe Starmers answer

Whu · 04/06/2024 21:23

I think it was unfair that Starmer didn’t get a comeback to the tax jibe. Sunak comes across as a shouty, spoilt child and rude to the presenter. Starmer more genuine but want more substance from him.

I like starmer’s glasses. Sunak has Lego hair.

LostMySocks · 04/06/2024 21:23

They do both have a lot of friends and family who did, were or were affected by whatever the questioner is concerned about **

EalingLucy · 04/06/2024 21:23

The host is shit.

JustAGalWhoLovesBooks · 04/06/2024 21:23

This presenter is annoying me. Let them speak!!

SuePreemly · 04/06/2024 21:24

Rishi is so bloody rude.

I'd be switching both their mics off if they go over

MidnightPatrol · 04/06/2024 21:24

Finleyandfigg · 04/06/2024 21:23

I don’t believe for a second that he doesn’t use private healthcare. It’s not a credible thing for him to claim.

Why not?

Hotnamehere · 04/06/2024 21:24

This is a bit embarrassing . I don't like either of them much.

coffeandteav · 04/06/2024 21:24

Wish they asked Rishi the same question about private.

Ive known many men with this ‘style’ in my personal and professional life.

Drown out the opposition, being aggressive, expect your opposition to retreat.

Ok but this isn’t handsforth parish council, no prizes for being dignified, kier needs to get in there and stop looking so passive

CaveMum · 04/06/2024 21:24

Both of them are talking over her, indicative of their attitudes towards women perhaps…

They did. He said yes.

Allwelcone · 04/06/2024 21:24

I don't think the host is shit I think she's admirably retaining her cool and being very professional

MatterhornMartini · 04/06/2024 21:24

Sunak has no shame.

ssd · 04/06/2024 21:25

The woman in the wheelchair was clapping Sunak??? She had asked about the nhs

coffeandteav · 04/06/2024 21:25

Schools are tighter than ever! Get lost Rishi!

StripedPiggy · 04/06/2024 21:25

Sunak coming across as rude.
Starmer coming across as weak.

What a choice. 🙄

Yes and her cousin died while on a waiting list! Crazy!

Whu · 04/06/2024 21:25

She needs the power to cut their mics really. Rishi is just so entitled and rude.

Allwelcone · 04/06/2024 21:26

Omg Rishi "that's what my parents did" yeah they sent him to Eton

BIossomtoes · 04/06/2024 21:26

£2000 again. 🙄

Charlie2121 · 04/06/2024 21:26

How anyone can vote for Starmer after watching this is beyond me. We are headed for dark times under Labour.

I'm not liking the shitty tone either.

A lot of figures? All I’ve heard is 2,000
