Wait, now the Tories work out that you don't win elections by pandering to your own extreme wing? Reform are doing well not because anybody likes them but because the Tories have demonstrated themselves to be so fundamentally unserious about governing that those Tory voters who can't stand Labour have nowhere else to go.

ITV should be ashamed of this debate.

Bad format. Bad moderation. And they put in a football question at the end when they've been rushing the entire programme?

My expectations of Starmer and Sunak were low to begin with and they met those expectations, so meh on that front.

Got to appreciate a leader who's not afraid to go on TV and admit "no one cares about Wales"

Watching ITV live for the first time in ages for the debate.

Adverts are wild! Just the most manipulative nonsense imaginable.

Goodness me, this moderator is shit.

Apparently, Sunak gets a chocolate every time he says "Two thousand pounds".

UK faces £33bn hole in finances or return to austerity, thinktank says

So it’s almost official we are stuffed. Obviously living outside our means. Both the ruling parties have told us so.

But only those if means were constrained by selling of public assets overseas, leasing them back at a premium, running down public services to force their privatisation, siphoning monies off to cronies, and…

@Wen "return" to austerity. I don't remember it ever ending.

Yet somehow we still end up with a deficit, huge public debt and a high tax burden.

2019, just a reminder of the violent rhetoric the fascists use and how food products are not comparable to bullets

Daily Mail wailing that Victoria the Milkshake Queen is a "Jeremy Corbyn loving Only Fans model" this giving their readership something to be angry and horny about

The classy thing to do as Brit politician getting a milkshake is to laugh it off and not press charges, but of course Nigel won't be letting the lady off for making him look foolish now, that's not how populists work.....

"What do Young people think of Brexit and the legacy handed down to them by older generations?"

The politicos never ask that question, do they?
