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

I’m desperately torn on this because I fucking hate Love Actually but I really like Rosena Allin-Khan:

xp can’t believe actors have opinions...wasn’t that kid with the forehead an actor too

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

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.

She should be paying to stay off the next one. Is she actually worse than Farron?

to think that poch got the sack before that clown

"From then on he had them eating out of his hand" -- Rentoul on Johnson in the Independent. Matt Forde can't even touch the KING here

Guys it's fucked, there's no way that any liberal Tories are voting LD this time round. Swinson has basically ensured another 10 seats for Johnson at the very least.

I didn't realise they had such high standards :p

xp not sure that anyone can, that’s how he’s survived two millennia

Tim Farron polled, what, 7%, and still took Tory seats? If this benefits anyone it should be Labour, saw a surprising number of fbpes making pro Corbyn comments (lol)

Did she get applauded for a single answer? Like, at all?

pretty sure Swindon has already established that a Lib Dem seat will be a Tory seat so

won’t be up to her by then

Christ, the revisionists are hilarious. Trying to make out it was the Labour and Conservative audience? She was being bodied by Remainers!

nice to see this in my timeline

so guys i watched QT and i feel obligated to relate my objective opinion that the absolute boy fuckin walked it imo

Abdullah Ibrahim on jools holland now as well. I've obv sniffing the butane gas again, need to wake up !

This reply to the Matt Forde tweet is my favourite

I did a microdot and cried in KFC because they wouldn't sell me a Big Mac but even at that low point I was making more sense than this guy

hah hah! my brother once went into a McDonald's on ketamine and just pissed all over the floor, his politics are shite as well!

I think I prefer this guy to the ghoulish cunt with the South African accent

“How can you be neutral in a referendum and claim to be a leader,” said Raab, speaking to journalists in the venue’s media room. “All those citizens at home and all of those businesses who are wondering how they will navigate the uncertainty of Brexit, and Jeremy Corbyn says he’s neutral. That is not leadership on the biggest issue of the day.”

I don’t quite know what to say to this, it’s ineffable somehow.

generous take from tory rag on press on boris's performance that makes sound more like a typical ILXer: "he flapped and flailed like an eccentric paedophile geography teacher"

having a pop at myself there as well btw!

big dom is right, this is how a real man handles a difficult Brexit situation

this was a great question and she was clearly scared/angry saying it but did so anyway

This particular intervention was so on point. Really was the moment I wondered about what has changed that it's possible to articulate this so clearly and efficiently, the discourse has expanded at least to make this framing legible to a mass audience and I think that's heartening.
