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

[hart's shirt]

Ethchingham has been awful, ref who’s lost control of the game vibes

Wise minds think alike.

 

[Weststander]

Apparently there are £2,000 worth of tax rises. Starmer tries to address this and refute it - Etchingham won't let him.

He had plenty of chances, but deliberately wouldn’t talk about it. Fearing a later trap?

 

[crodonilson]

Not sure I am keen to get another £2k tax rise for me and my family.

Really - he's said about five times 'I need to address this...' and she's cut him off.

 

[Bozza]

I’ve not lived in the UK for years and don’t know all that much (or really care that much) about the current problems over there.

But I’m watching this, and all I can think of is that this is such a poor format for a debate. Short time constraints for questions that need much more to provide complex and nuanced responses and rebuttals.

This is just this weeks newspaper headline generator.

Yeah, 45 seconds just isn't enough.

I guess they've tried to find a compromise to allow a wide range of subjects to be covered, but 45 seconds is too short.

 

[Napper]

Sunak getting an absolute kicking here

You won't. It's bollocks.

Don’t worry, it’s bollocks

 

[AlbionBro]

Hate to say it, but this. He’s been appalling.

Surely he will have to get better than this... we can only hope.

 

[Napper]

Sunak even getting jeered

Car crash from sunak

He’s toast

Another one?

 

[Is it PotG?]

Sir Sweatalot playing a blinder

 

[nicko31]

Tories only care about pensioners

 

[HangletonGull]

Sunak getting an absolute kicking here

Complete and utter bollocks other way around

 

[Eeyore]

I think that's a woosh. If not, I would never take something as read until you look into it.

 

[Is it PotG?]

Starmer out of his depth

 

[crodonilson]

Half time

0-0

 

[A1X]

The phrase “all heat and no light” springs to mind

 

[Is it PotG?]

Why is Starmer not refuting the £2k tax claim?

Because he can't

 

[martin tyler]

This is dreadful.
If I’d been convicted of a crime whilst being defended by Kier I would be looking to appeal right now. As for Rushi what is there to like bar his slightly better debating skills. Can’t believe these are the best candidate for the main 2 parties in this country.
