"Tetchy Ballsack" unmasked after a whole 5 minutes.

The hosting/moderation is woeful. The mendacious midget is being given the floor while Starmer is trying to play by the rules and being slapped down when he tries to get a word in edgeways.

[Youngian]

Sunak’s not doing himself any favours blathering on.

ECHR ‘Foreign court’ oh do fuck off

[Tubby Isaacs]

Much appreciate you watching so I don't have to. As an aside, I see Victoria Atkins is still doing a fair bit of the media lifting. This is not a normal campaign.

[Tubby Isaacs]

[Abernathy]

Sunak adopting the Johnson approach - tell lies, and keep on lying.

[Tubby Isaacs]

Sorry for another interruption, but this is worth it, believe you me.

[Youngian]

Might check out Jeremy Corbyn’s campaign instead

[Tubby Isaacs]

This doesn't sound great for Sunak.

[kreuzberger]

Sunak has bullshat his way to ten o'clock with nary a challenge. Starmer is struggling in the slipstream. He appears to have been blind-sided.

I didn’t watch, but the overwhelming themes on social media were:

Moderating was shit
Sunak was rude and spoke over everyone
He repeated the same thing over and over and had nothing else
The audience openly laughed at him
Starmer scored points on the NHS and seemed statesmanlike

So no slam dunk, but Sunak quite possibly managed to make himself appear even worse.

Sorry for another interruption, but this is worth it, believe you me.

Need a heart of stone etc etc.

Personally, the fewer thinktank alumni near the election the better.

Yougov "Who performed better?"

Sunak 51%, Starmer 49%

Hmmm.

Even so, won't change the polls.

Sunak not getting a great reception on Twitter.

This seems wildly at odds with every take I’ve seen. And that includes quite a few people who start their posts “I’m no fan of Starmer, but…”

[kreuzberger]

Etchingham is coming in for a fair deal of flack, but there is no way in which women can be expected to do their job if they are simply being belittled by their interlocutors.

Sunak was unspeakably disrespectful and dismissive.

[Malcolm Armsteen]

Seems to be different from what I'm seeing, too.

[Malcolm Armsteen]

Hmm again...
