2024 General Election Thread

Great question for Farage as he lived in Brussels taking the EU shekels for around 20 years. As a wind up, I would also ask if he speaks any German with his German wife and their kids! Does he actually have a German passport? I doubt it because he would have to pass a language test.

Nigel Farage asked why he hasn't learned French after 20 years as an MEP

Mr Farage admitted that he isn't a 'brilliant linguist', but that he is very good with a French wine list

Come on LibDem voters in Richmond. You know it makes sense.

Sunak was just given a proper short shrift by the audience with his mathematical gymnastics on waiting lists. Though he has made this "£2000 tax rise" nonsense land 3 times and Starmer hasn't been able/allowed to counter it properly

 

[Sniffer]

Shut him up Etchingham.

 

[Del Woppio]

She really needs to be stronger on Sunak

 

[Tredman]

This is awful. Sunak is an arrogant little posh school boy.

 

[PuntsWolf]

How is she just letting him (Sunak) speak over her repeatedly and then not let Stamer get a word in.

I'd have gone harder on Sunak on climate (taking a jet and a helicopter everywhere) and tax (literally personally profited from non doms)

Good to hear the audience literally laughing at National Service

 

[Tony Towner]

Unfortunately this. The performance of someone with nothing to gain and everything to lose rather than someone who wanted to grasp.the opportunity on probably his biggest platform to date

I didn't see it, will watch it later.

Out of interest, how many times did KS say his dad was a toolmaker?

At least three

Jonathan Pie was a joke that got very old about 8 years ago.

I think two, though one was a question on how the candidates can genuinely relate to struggling families.

That's not a joke though, it's an opinion and imo a correct one.

To be fair, so was rishi's

Excellent

He should have quashed the £2k tax rise nonsense straight away. Apart from that Starmer did ok, outlined plans for more teachers, border force, British Energy and cutting waiting lists whilst pulling up Sunak for the Conservatives record.
He’s never going tonight up a room like Blair could but it’s mission accomplished at not dropping a bollock*

*I am biased though.

It’ll be interesting to see what neutral observers made of it.

Sunak from my view was confident, a trifle over bearing when not his turn and managed to get the £2k tax rise mentioned 48 times so he’ll probably think he’s done well. Is he relatable with Joe Public though?

 

[ROVERT47]

Did someone say Piers Morgan was shifting towards Labour, you wouldn’t think so watching the arseole on Newsnight.

What is the 2k tax rise thing?
