Ed Davey looking ridiculous, as usual. Lying about "when we were in power" lol.

Now he's trying to say he won't be part of another coalition.

Ed Davey makes my skin crawl

TheShellBeach · 20/06/2024 20:25

Yes.
And all those silly stunts.
So infantile.

Ha! Now we have John Swinney.
How soon will someone ask about transwomen.

Do you think Fiona Bruce will let him?

After all, she lectured Prof Sir Robert Winston on biological beliefs.

I was worried it would be stressful and hectic but it’s almost unimaginably well controlled and boring. I’ll stick with it as boring policy is more important than the screeching of the 7 way debates. It’s a well behaved audience and Fiona’s handling it with a pretty light touch.

I don’t see why the Lib Dems are given such status in these things given how low they’re polling.

Oh they will have filtered all the questions in advanced. The only way one will get through is if someone goes rogue and asks a different question to the one they had approved!

The Sky audience was very different to all of the others. Much more animated and vocal. This one looks like half of them are nodding off.

LlynTegid · 20/06/2024 20:44

I gave up after about 15 minutes. After 45 minutes of my life watching how unlucky Denmark were not to beat England, didn't feel up to another 105 minutes of dull answers.

endofthelinefinally · 20/06/2024 20:55

My feeling is that the audience have been carefully selected and the questions carefully censored. It is the BBC after all. I am half watching/half MNing and DH has gone to sleep. For example: nobody has mentioned the £450 million euros that Scotland has to repay to the EU for the grants they didn't spend.

Does Rishi hear all the others or is he in a padded room? He has an advantage going last....

DizzyDandilion · 20/06/2024 21:02

Get off this Keir!! Jeremy Corby question not helping him...

fridaynight1 · 20/06/2024 21:07

Waiting for him to tell us his dad was a toolmaker.

Don’t know if they get to hear what the others are saying in stage, but the running order for these things is usually decided by a random draw to avoid accusations of bias.

endofthelinefinally · 20/06/2024 21:09

Just woken DH up scoffing at "my wife works in the NHS".

AnneLovesGilbert · 20/06/2024 21:11

Still waiting! I’m shocked.

AnneLovesGilbert · 20/06/2024 21:13

The nurse thinks he’s a twat. Don’t blame her. DH is nodding off. I’m pondering giving up current afairs and news completely if it means having to listen to Starmer’s awful voice every day.

He’s being overly cocky and condescending.

CaveMum · 20/06/2024 21:14

Someone really should come up with some bingo cards for each leader. Wouldn’t recommend doing shots though, you’ll end up hammered!

endofthelinefinally · 20/06/2024 21:17

Oh my goodness. His sister is a care worker.

fridaynight1 · 20/06/2024 21:17

The questions may be different but the answers (from all the leaders so far) are all the same. Dull dull script speak from them all. DH has gone outside to water his plants.

DizzyDandilion · 20/06/2024 21:18

I dunno. Keir sounds sensible which is maybe what we need..

endofthelinefinally · 20/06/2024 21:19

I've got a family member who renovates derelict houses. Maybe he can advise on the housing policy.

Definitely what we need.
