Tonight's debate 7.30pm BBC 1

[BastardisMendacem]

Anyone fancy a discussion thread?

yup

Ready and waiting.

Yep!

I'm glad it's Mishal Hussein - she's on the ball

So we have 3/7 party leaders here and 4/7 'deputies'.

True disclosure: I may personally have to mute everytime Farage speaks so might not have much to say about his bits

This one looks like a bit of a social experiment.

Hoping no one talks about his bits @BastardisMendacem

Penny's hair is rather bouffant.

Triple lock on the nuclears needs more talking about, I think.

And nice to hear about focus on armed forces accomodation - which frankly is such old, crumbly stock!

Why does Mordaunt have Thatcher hair??

Straight in with the D day question

It is a bit Maggiesque!

Penny being bitchy, pointing at Ange

Not enjoying the pointing and getting a bit shouty so soon

So the Conservatives strategy is shout over labour

Get in there Angie!

Yes let’s focus on her looks because she’s a woman rather than what she’s saying FFS 🙄

Talking over people is clearly a full party technique, I see

They need to switch off Penny's mic. She's a disgrace talking over people.

Oh dear. Shouting down your opponent is a bad look. You’d think Mordaunt would have learned from Sunak’s performance.

Mordaunt came across better than Rayner there.

Seriously?

I'm watching (only just found the thread)

A lot of very strong women here!

They're all being respectful to veterans. Making a point!

Surely Denyer should be able to speak without her notes.
