Tonight's debate 7.30pm BBC 1

[BastardisMendacem]

Anyone fancy a discussion thread?

You've heard the audience clapping her several times, right?

Mordaunt is appallling

I’ve reported a couple of the comments about Rayner because they’re not in the spirit of the thread, and they’re extremely personal.

I’m not particularly a fan, either, I just don’t like bullying.

OMG Penny said it AGAIN !!! I cant believe it!!!

We've turned over, too shouty.

Host needs to get a grip

What a ridiculous comment.

I work at senior levels and have seen diversity hires like her before. I don’t think it’s good way to promote equality.

They've had 14 years to build the economy. They fucking broke it instead! Mordaunt can fuck off.

Rayner certainly likes talking over people. The Greens lady is coming across well.

I may have taught my dd a new swear word

Haha at 'well that was dignified, wasn't it'

Morduant is shouting over the host, unbelievable.

So NHS doctors don’t perform medical miracles every day? Headteachers don’t work 100 hour weeks year-round to safeguard children and deliver excellent outcomes for children from disparate backgrounds? Okay then.

The audience doesn't look very representative of most of the UK to be honest. I wouldn't read too much in to their reactions.

Not a chance. You are utterly deluded if you genuinely believe that.

Superb response.

Made me

Penny seems angry tonight. Probably because Rishi pulled that disappearing act yesterday and left her to deal with the fallout tonight.

Penny is awful. She has nothing of substance to say so just shouts everyone else down.
Why is Nigel Farage given a platform?

Very glad I don't work for or with you in that case.

Read what I wrote.

@RiderOfTheBlue I thought she looked cross also.

You don’t advocate hiring based on ability? Great business plan.

I hope that £2000 gets addressed

Think she might have been briefed to try and wind up Rayner, to a point where she implodes
