For the exact same reason you are watching it thinking "yeah I'm making a good choice voting for Corbyn"
Entrenchment.
I'm a Celeb at 9 though isn't it.
Tories then, you know what I mean.
Corbyns answer on the Xmas present was best.
What a shambles, the winners of that debate are the Lib Dem’s.
When your four principle choices are Boris, Corbyn, Swinson and Farage.... yeah it's time to emigrate.
It's the only choice unless you think things are heading in the right direction. He's also far more trustworthy, and far more likely to be on our side than Boris.
Good point actually.
They look like they're debating in the middle of a Cambridge Analytica data stream.
Is Corbyn not also against zero hour contracts?
The whole point is that pay should remain at the level of the current workload, but with reduced hours.
The will of the people has spoken.
That was shite and will have changed no minds at all
Shite from both. Learnt nothing new. We're proper fecked.
Boris just basically barked Brexit when asked literally any question.
And a local drug dealer if you believe that.
The Tories really have become a one issue party. It's literally all about Brexit.
Every time you watch these debates hoping for better, but every time they're total garbage.
The soundbites by Boris are all still there and the deluded will fall for them.
The groans of folk when Jeremy Corbyn brought up the poor suffering in the developing world due to climate change. What the feck is wrong with this country.
Yeah it was far too short. It should be at least 2 hours without commercials.
Yes I do.
By the way. That was as I expected - awful. We learnt nothing and as usual Boris gets away with murder.
Because it's a policy to deal with future automation not next year. I'm sure you're aware that working hours have generally come down over time and are lower already in other countries?
He overdid it, they need to learn from that.
Because they have failed on everything else (failed on Brexit as well but the one issue they can exploit Labour on!)
I think it sums up this election quite nicely.
Yeah, I can’t imagine that going down to well in the remaining debates.
Corbyn was at his strongest talking about the NHS. Johnson was poor throughout. It’s utterly depressing he’s going to likely be our PM for 5 years.
Still just blows my mind that the Tories can be in power for 9 years and then campaign to improve everything as if they aren’t responsible for it. I have no idea what they would actually need to do to lose voters.
No discussion on actual policies and the whole thing was pretty much dominated by Brexit, shit debate.
Are you back in time to vote? And who is your MP?
Someone really asked them what non-political present they would leave under each other's Christmas Trees because they are tired of the mean words in politics these days
I have to laugh
I have to laugh
Again, who do you think you are talking to? I'm already voting Labour, I was a floating voter but it's obvious to me and this country the choice.
But I'm not the target of this debate, and that's the point that continually keeps being missed.
I'd ask Labour voters on here how exactly they think that performance will convince anyone that needs convincing? The whole thing was a mess, a joke from both sides. So how, exactly, is "corbyn is winning this!" shite any way a victory when in fact, the whole thing has been a farce? That has changed absolutely nothing, Corbyn had a stage there and then to speak and nothing we didn't already know came out and once again he let Boris and tomorrows papers lead the narrative.
That's not a strong leader and one we need to win an election, people need to wake up to reality.
But we already know that Boris isn't going to keep any of his election promises, so surely it's better to have someone who may not be able to keep all of theirs, but will try, than someone who's just saying whatever he thinks sounds good with absolutely no desire to actually follow through with any of it?
Wait, @Sassy Colin is only accountant? For someone who thinks so highly of himself I would have thought he'd be more than a glorified book keeper who's job can be done by typing calculations into Google.
Their average voter is about 104 years old, so time will be their enemy.
It was a crap debate but I thought Corbyn had more substance and talked about goals and policies while Johnson just kept on barking about Corbyn's brexit position and 'getting it done'.
Someone really asked them what non-political present they would leave under each other's Christmas Trees because they are tired of the mean words in politics these days
I have to laugh
Corbyn’s present was still political whilst being sweet at the same time. It was a high point for him.
Last question of the debate: what xmas pressie would you both give each other?
Kourtney: Kim, there's people that are dying in the world
@SteveJ
Kourtney: Kim, there's people that are dying in the world
@SteveJ
Agreed. But the main focus should be protecting normal people.
Yeah that was embarrassing
