The Debates

[SueEllen]

The important questions I want answered are:

Why are R!sh!'s eyes red?

What do they both use in their hair?

[Fraidycat]

I didn't watch it, but i bet it was a fest

Let me know when Farage will be on, will at least be entertaining to watch him Sunak and Starmer

[WTFH]

Let me know when Farage will be on,

Do you need to get a box of tissues in, or at least a clean sock?

[Marmite]

Starmer has a clear strategy say nothing controversial, keep the head down and will get in -to No.10 by default cos of the Tories.
Everything he says is so grey and vague.

He might be simply trying to look attractive to those on the fence, so that they can say "actually he's not too bad, as I thought he'd be more...Labour-ish". So "in-the middle" and not too extreme probably does the trick for some. Then again that will drive away all the true Labour voters, so not sure that strategy is going to win as it seems you have to be in one extreme or the other these days.

We have more tonight with Farage, Ms Mordaunt and Ms Rayner.

Looks like Ms Mordaunt will be cleaning up another PM's tulip again. Least she knows how to take excellent historical photo opportunities.

Reform to exceed 20% in the polls next week.

[NotAllThere]

Reform to exceed 20% in the polls next week.

Is that what the polls said?

[SueEllen]

Is that what the polls said?

One poll I looked at put the Tories 2 points a head of Reform.

That was before the D Day stuff blew up though....

Not yet, my prediction of what will happen next week after Farage roasts the Tories in todays debate.

One poll I looked at put the Tories 2 points a head of Reform.

That was before the D Day stuff blew up though....

The YouGuv people changed their methodology and used some new statistical method in that poll which had Reform 2 points behind the Tories.

If they had used the old method they were using just a week prior the results were 18/18 neck and neck with labour at 45%
