General Election - 4th July 2024

That’s a fair point. If Starmer had firmly shut it down the first time Sunak said it, nobody would be talking about it. As it is Sunak must have mentioned it 30 times before Starmer said it was garbage and everyone will now know Sunak was basically lying.

Not sure if I’m giving Starmer too much credit here but it could be seen as Starmer taking a tactical defeat in a small battle to give him strategic advantage in the overall war.

Tactical defeat. Heard it all now.

I have no idea how many people watch these, I don't and in my coffee shop this morning the election has been mentioned 2 or 3 times, not once has anyone mentioned any debate.Don't think they make the slightest difference unless somebody drops a big bollock.

Tactical defeat. Heard it all now.

It’ll be a line used by the Tories from 5 July onwards.

Tactical defeat. Heard it all now.

Today everyone’s talking about Sunak lying now it’s been made clear they weren’t civil service figures at all and were made up by the Tories. Who looks the mug now?

the presenter stopped him every time he tried to retort that - it was all frantic and rushed, definitely not Starmers style.

I thought she wasn't in control, allowing Sunak to constantly talk over Starmer when it was his time to respond.

...there is no money.

Agree but it's more than just spending and taxation decisions.

It's the competence (or lack of), the BS, the blatant corruption (Michelle Mone and Johnson's illegitimate daughter in the Lords) and the general morality of the individuals elevated to high office.

The tories of the Boris / Truss / Sunak era are the biggest pile of arse holes ever let lose to run our country.

They deserve annihilation. They really do.

YouGov's headline starting to look like the one that's out of whack now.

yep, and to keep the answers at 45 seconds max was just stupid.

starmer '' well in answer to the gentlemens question, my vision for the future and under a labour goverment we will set out to ... ''

(Presenter) 'Thankyou thankyou. please. thankyou. Rishi Sunak your response please''

Social media wanted Clinton, Corbyn, Remain… It got none of them.

Starmer was very poor last night. I think if Boris had replaced Cameron and then Sunak had replaced Boris then the election would be far closer. The Tories only have themselves to blame with the absolute disaster that was Liz Truss.

Labour will form the next government. Starmer will last for a short period and then either Burnham or Khan will replace him.
