Friday BBC Election Debate lineup revealed

[Fambo Number Mive]

Long-Bailey rightly highlighting the 20,000 police officers cut by the Tories between 2010 and 2019.

[Replies From View]

A bit annoying the way Plaid can bash Labour when most people in the UK can't even vote Plaid.  It's just free contextless Labour-bashing for the media cockwank.




Also pronounce it "played" please or use different letters, cheers

Rebecca Long-Bailey is brilliant.

[Fambo Number Mive]

I am watching this.

Long-Bailey reminding Sunak about the world banking crisis  and Javid working at Detusche Bank. She's doing really well.

Of course not.

Not really.  If people in Wales can vote Labour, and people in Wales might end up being governed by a Labour government, then he has every right to criticise Labour.  You can't insist that people outside England (and their elected representatives) are treated like second-class citizens because you don't like Labour being criticised.

Man breaking the record for nodding at someone sitting next to him asking a question

The Brexit Party representative - has anyone heard him speak before?  In his opening speech he was suppressing his real voice and it was like a monster bursting through.  He's had it under control since then though.

Yes, there may even be people IN WALES watching this! Quite a thought.

Anyone in the UK can vote Plaid if they make the effort. (Well, not children and prisoners.)

Would this be funny in Boris wrote it?

[Replies From View]

Just think a bit more context would help.  He's claimed that Labour's leadership of Wales makes them not much better than the Tories, and not bothering to highlight the limitations on Welsh Labour imposed by the Tory government.

It's somehow clearer when the SNP put their case forward.

[solidified gruel merchant]

This is great. Less applauding after every speech, so less gallery playing. Rebecca long-Bailey doing very well.

Oh blimey.  If you aren't familiar with my facetiousness after all these years I'll stop posting in this thread.

[Zetetic]

Edit: I know, I know. I don't think you're a Boris.

and not bothering to highlight the limitations on Welsh Labour imposed by the Tory government.

In fairness, that's a failure of Welsh Labour as well over the last decade. They should be a lot clearer about the limited power of Welsh Government - but of course that undermines the concept of devolution.

And part of the point of Plaid is that they don't believe that the people of Wales should have to depend on the whims of the administration in Westminster.

Nuclear button question now

[Clatty McCutcheon]

The question should instead be "should Trident be renewed?"  To which the answer is obviously no.

Jo is right in there with her finger on the nuclear button once again.  But at least she would "assess the situation" first, eh?

Just lost the election. Awful beige answers. Audience pouring scorn. Awful stuff. Still the third best in the room

Let me just assess whether or not to guarantee armageddon... yes, I think I will.

A Long Bailey is a type of knot and a special room in a medieval castle where all the animal fat was stored.

Jo Swinson has a five year old child, allowing her to have "future focus".

Brexit Party representative pretending to give a shit about green issues; quite funny.

[Fambo Number Mive]

Tice says we need to stop drug companies ripping off the NHS. True, but he doesn't say how he would propose how this should be done.

Weak. Lost my vote. Press first, assess later.

Destroy the NHS.

Peopule and sensibule


His real voice is creeping back in.



Need to locate old videos of him to discover what this so-called voice of his is, and why he has to keep it concealed.

As they say - better to regret something you have done than something you haven't.
