Leadership debate

[rainywinterday]

Is there a thread already?

Me and dh are trying to work out why JC has got droopy eyes.....ptosis? Bell's palsy? Stroke?.....

Can't find one but if this thread is about facial features I might keep looking 😂

I see he bought the fence with him, poor JC can just not pick a side.

He specifically isn't picking a side- he's putting the decision back to the public now we know more about what Brexit would mean.

Having a referendum didn't settle it the first time and divided the country. Why would a second one be any better?

I'm actually feeling really sorry for Jeremy Corbyn. I think he's speaking well but he's in an impossible situation - he can't commit to a side because his party and his supporters are split.

People are trying to make conservatives the party of leave and labour the party of remain. But a large proportion of labour voters are leave supporters and Corbyn can't afford to isolate them. He has no choice but to fence sit.

Lib Dem are the party of remain and they haven't been allowed to take part.

@Noeuf 😂😂 sorry - just finding it really distracting!!

Why should he ‘pick a side’ - he’s abiding by public’s (better informed) choice. We are not an autocracy, even if it seems that way.

I think his glasses don't fit very well.

I love how Jeremy’s solution is another referendum, the result of which he would totally support.

Yeah right - like you do this one?? 😂😂

It's funny 😂 first thread I find looking for a bit of intellectual stimulation now the kids are all safely out the way.

Not sure if either of them are impressive. Boris just keeps talking. I did like Corbyn producing the redacted document.

All Johnson does is lie. I'm not a fan of Corbyn, but the choice here is simple.

Hope they ask about the peerage deals

@MajesticWhine We now know the public were seriously misled in the last referendum campaign and no one had any idea what an exit deal might look like. It was absolutely ill informed at best last time, and so close. And not that great a voter turnout.

Since the referendum we've had a general election... if we can vote again about our entire government we can vote again now we are informed about this one issue surely?

At least Boris answers the questions. I don’t think JC has given one straight answer yet.

Boris gives answers but he is known to be a liar!

It’s so patronising to keep on with the ‘leave voters just didn’t know what they were voting for, bless them.’

Dh says Boris is blabbering

JC stance on brexit is of no importance, he is there to do the will of the people, his personal preference shouldn't matter. Present the facts, put to the people let them decide.

It was leaked back in July that JC had a mini stroke.

But they were lied to @WellErrr

The people have HAD their say.
What if Leave wins again (as the polls suggest it would)? Best out of five?

I'm finding all the clapping really annoying.

Wouldnt believe a single word Boris utters..

.. and then we have the old chestnuts 'get Brexit done' 'take back control of our borders' blah blah blah..

wellerrr People didn’t know what they were voting for - there was no negotiated deal on the table, so how could they?

Has he said "oven ready " yet?
Could we start a drinking game?
