Westminster Politics

I can't hate Muslims, my great granddad was one.
Hiding behind the ethnicity of a distant relative he obviously never met. Wish Emily pushed the question of what would he think of that comment more.
 
Pob. "I'm so great pick me".

"You dont have a mandate from the people, when will you do the right thing and have an election?"

BJ: "I dont think anyone in the house of commons wants an election!"

:lol:
 
I'd rank that debate from best to worst:

Stewart
Javid
Hunt
Gove
Johnson
 
Stewart gave the worst (but maybe most honest) answer on Trump.
 
Q: My hard-working husband owns Luxembourg - why doesn't he own America?
Gove: Because Jeremy Corbyn stole your Christmas presents and gave them to Iran.
Q: How do you respond to these allegations, Mr Corbyn?

Corbyn: Now is not the time for these discussions. We need to focus on what is best for the nation.

Q: Its a simple question Mr Corbyn. Yes or no; do you sleep in an oxygen tent that gives you sexual powers?

Corbyn: While we debate these matters we should be-

Q: For fecks sake Jeremy the allegations are clearly bullshit so why don't you just flat out deny them and we can move on?!

Corbyn: ...in the nineteenth century, coal miners used to...
 
You can understand why Boris does not like debates. But he's still odds on.

"I once had prawn crackers, so I'm not racist."

So Mr. Hunt, do you think we have a problem with Islamaphobia in this country?

"Well I have 2 half Chinese children, and they've never had any problems in school!"
 
Could Gove have been more desperate to shoehorn in anymore jibes against Corbyn? He's obviously aware that he is devoid of a personality and any credibility so has to try and construct a persona based on opposition to another figure rather than on his own principles and policies.

Also, it's pretty funny the narrative that Corbyn is supposedly an apologist for the Iranian regime because he dared to query the US claims about the attacks on the commercial tankers.

I don't want to give a third of my salary every month to buy councillors new iPhones and politicians new mistresses, and yet here we are.

Exactly, he's like those people who think that eating guacamole with their chips is part of their personality.

Yep, that was cringe-inducing stuff. Although, to his credit, at least he answered with the correct nationality this time.
 
Q: How many people you slept with?

Its amazing really, I can only imagine the sort of underfunded, run down, inner city shithole they attend.

"Eeh, luxury, my immigrant wife..."
 
Q: How many people you slept with?

Jeremy Hunt - My Japanese wife - Abdul.

Michael Gove - I tell you who I haven't slept with. Jeremy fecking Corbyn. The hipster grandad twat.

Boris Johnson - Um, well, I... Um *starts making shadow puppets and brlrlrlrlrl sounds*
 
We're all screwed who ever of that lot gets to be PM

From Boris coming off with the GATT24 lie, Hunt (I think it was) going on about technology with the Irish border to Tax cuts here there and everywhere with no further questioning on the lies, or how or what they are going to do to achieve what they say. It was all a load of b****cks
 

It doesn't matter if Johnson looks weak in interviews. May was just as useless and yet they managed to feed people the whole Strong & Stable crap for a long time. If Johnson gets it he'll be found out come election time when he has to debate on multiple occasions, which is probably why he's uneasy about pledging to call an election if he wins.
 
I was hoping for an odds-upsetting performance from Stewart, but although he probably did give the best answers I don't think he was striking enough to change the likely result, either of MPs, or members if it came to that.

As it stands then once the Brexit party voters return to the Tories, which most presumably will after Brexit, then we will have another Tory government, and I would have preferred Stewart to the others.
 
Credit to Gove for managing to denounce Corbyn as a Marxist by borrowing a quotation most famously used by Trotsky.
 
Javid with the best response (the only good response) on the Islamophobia question. Getting them all to agree to an investigation was a good move.
 
Some of the 'British public' questioning the candidates were right stuck up, smarmy gits. Some of them had the manners of chimps. That dude from Oxford who voted for the Brexit party being a prime example.
