So when is the part where they drop a pool cue into studio and candidates have to fight til the death ?
We've already skipped that bit, we're now on the parts where a big pile of money gets burned and then two groups of people are set against one another.

These debates are irrelevant. The dogs in the street know Boris will be Prime Minister.

Watch as he then pursues a plan similar to that outlined by Portillo on This Week last Thursday.
Would certainly be an interesting way of getting your confidence and supply partners on side.

Corbyn is never going to win the Tory leadership against these 5.

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.

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

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: 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.

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

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.

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

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
