[Politics] Starmer v Sunak *** Official Match Thread ***

[allystrat]

Sounds like the Toolmaker's wife gave birth to a tool.

 

[timbha]

What did his dad do? Any idea what his wife does?

And was he DPP?

 

[Machiavelli]

This is very fair, refereed by Phil Prosser

Michael Salisbury, shirley

 

[A1X]

Interesting Sunak didn’t think to mention all the oil and gas licences he’s given out during the climate change question, must have slipped his mind

 

[ozzygull]

To be honest I watching the women’s football not this.because I don’t care as long as we get rid of the Tories. Another 5 years of these self serving *unts would make me want to leave the country.

 

[Machiavelli]

I feel for the presenter as she has no red cards. If two teams just want to cheat, foul, etc the referee has no chance.

The two teams aren't cheating though. One is, and the other one isn't doing anything about it.

 

[Is it PotG?]

Any polices Starmer?

 

[Weststander]

What’s funny/sad, both of them have patently ignored the subjects raised at times. Instead rehearsed bitchy soundbites.

You're right. That's the format though. They would be much better having a proper sit down discussion on one topic.

 

[oldboyroy]

Starmer stumped tonight

 

[Deadly Danson]

Trying to be objective - Sunak probably won the first half, Starmer the second. But this is a format that is fundamentally flawed - serious issues reduced to a quick shouty soundbite.

 

[Mike Small]

Sunak talking shite on the environment. Loves fossil fuels

His daughters aren't talking to him about climate change. They are talking about how they want to decorate their massive rooms in their Californian when they move their in July.

I have no idea what you’re watching

 

[crodonilson]

I hope they both get a kicking at the election to be honest. The likes of the SNP must be rubbing their hands at watching this trash.

 

[London Irish]

Oh god they are now going to talk about football

 

[Is it PotG?]

Starmer is a fraud, no plan whatsoever

 

[Pavilionaire]

This has been the worst run debate I have ever watched. Etchingham is abysmal, insufficient time for wither of them to give a nuanced answer either.

Rishi has been more comfortable with the short format although his content has been weak. However, Etchingham has let Rishi get blows in after the bell has rung. Starmer should not have let Rishi say Labour would increase tax by £2K 6 times before he rebuffed it.

 

[Somethingdean]

We really should bin off debates. They are an American idea and as with most of them, utter shit.

Look, I accept you like Labour and hate the Tories but to claim Starmer has been good or strong is about as credible as Trumps claims on stolen elections.

Delusional
