Ne'er get thee stitched til Booris be ditched: UK General Election 2019

dying on his arse

probably got the clap numerous times. It's weird how initially this audience seemed like wall of gammon for first five minutes and has been mostly excellent since!

was that a boo?

Say what you will about The Guardian, but when push comes to shove I don't get the sense that they lean more towards the Lib Dems than towards Labour. You may find them insufficiently Corbyn-friendly, which is fair, but they don't seem to be rooting for Swinson either.

I was mostly trolling El Tomboto

Swinson hasn't had the time at leadership that Corbyn has so it's difficult to do a direct comparison but it was striking to see the two liner snap verdict as opposed to three paras on Corbyn. It could be that something has gone wrong with their feed.

Fwiw their response to Labour's manifesto struck me as rather positive overall.

Rory Stewart on HIGNFY!

Agree Pom, it was 🥁 critically supportive 🥁

peace...in our thread?

i think we all got what we wanted tonight :)

I said before I thought he polled badly with women, I saw something today backing this up, and the faces of women in the audience looking at him reflect this.

His partner hasn't been seen in this election?

No, she has. She went along to look at flooding damage.

Likely in a dungeon somewhere.

an... actually good QT. what's going on

his dog will in a cage somewhere for sure! that was a two minute wonder.

No, she has. She went along to look at flooding damage.

Wonder if they will get her out a bit more in the last couple of weeks. Libs might need an Ivanka type excuse.

No, she has. She went along to look at flooding damage.

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard exactly this on the doorstep over the last few weeks. #bbcqt

lol people actually complaining about bbc bias ... against the conservatives .. I've just died.

Only one hour to go until I’m on @bbcquestiontime Leaders Special! Can’t wait to show the other leaders what a #girlyswot can do 🥊🥊 #BrighterFuture #LeadersDebate pic.twitter.com/Pm1tJK72fQ

Is that a nuke going off?

Even Richard Leonard was able to land tonight:

Say what you like about Jo Swinson, but she’s got more experience serving in a Tory government than Boris Johnson. #bbcqt

— Richard Leonard (@LabourRichard) November 22, 2019

Thought Jo Swinson had the gig of the night. Clear messages and well delivered to a tough crowd. Nicola Sturgeon was solid, but mainly I was struck by how flat Boris Johnson and Jeremy Corbyn were. Both were evasive and both looked and sounded ill #bbcqt

— Matt Forde (@mattforde) November 22, 2019

centrism. not even once

matt forde after rentoul's gig there i think: stupidest man in politics

he won't get it bcz he is but a frail mortal who will come to dust first

would you say that silence after swinson's every answer was reverence or awe?

Absolutely destroys the appalling Boris Johnson and his horrific Tory policies

wow that's tremendous

the courage to say that on national television to the prime minister and keep your cool, fuck's sake

yup - contribution of the night. that and the labour brexit policy guy

yes and knowing that she’ll probably have right wing trolls turning her over for weeks as well. I couldn’t do it. Fair fucks to her. And that she brought the moral case too...

wow that's tremendous

"

Brutal reaction to that WASPI answer on some of the Facebook pages. Pretty low key but could hurt them.

suspect WASPI are already p determinedly anti-tory aren't they? it was only founded in 2015

lol just caught that SA accented dude on replay: " I don't buy your nice grandpa act and I'm terrified for my daughters"

Watching the debate now and Corbyn appears to have weathered some initial hostile questioning well and handled the Brexit question well enough. Might just fast forward to the Swinson carcrash now.

Oh wow the puff questions come quick and fast after that early onslaught.

He's also good when talking about infrastructure as a benefit to business. He should be recasting his entire project as a pro-business agenda as well as a pro-community agenda - it's an approach that works well for him.

My rankings for #bbcqt

1.Corbyn
2.Sturgeon
3. Guy who kept shouting about Russia report
4.Fiona Bruce saying ‘bum boys’ in a posh voice
5. The fact Sheffield is now Scotland
6.Johnson
7. The fact time stood still for Swinson’s go
8. Swinson

^ fair assessment imo

Dear lord this Swinson Q&A is really as abysmal as it was cracked up to be. Absolutely fucked it. Genuinely it would be better to have people believe she was a squirrel killer at this stage.

I literally cannot believe that a person this bad at the debate format actually tried to mount a legal challenge to be in the previous one. She's been torn apart by committed remainers here.
