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.

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

Can’t wait for the vat on school fees debate.

KS is emboldened by the poll yesterday but I’m getting Neil Kinnock vibes… he’s in danger of believing his own PR.

Clapping for the private school vat 👀

The old 'if people work hard and care about their kids education'

Yep, 90% of the country don't work hard, nor do they care about their kids education

Are we watching the same thing?! You think Sunak and the past 14 years are better?

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

Exactly what I was thinking!

He went to Winchester. Not sure if that makes it worse or better.

Monkeytennis97 · 04/06/2024 21:28

Winchester I think.

People love taxes that others have to pay. Most people are inherently selfish.

L1ttledrummergirl · 04/06/2024 21:29

Fuck Starmer is patient.

Sunak shut up and let the grown ups speak.

uniquestionss · 04/06/2024 21:29

Why does she keep letting sunak speak over him

AloeVerity · 04/06/2024 21:29

It would be good if they didn’t talk over each other constantly!

PrincessofWells · 04/06/2024 21:29

14 years . . .

Allwelcone · 04/06/2024 21:30

Aaaarrrgghh

MidnightPatrol · 04/06/2024 21:30

I really disagree with the idea that pensioners should pay less tax than workers at the same income level.

As a working person, it just seems like a ludicrous bribe to the old, who already pay less tax via their exclusion from NI.
