Come on Disso. The Tories are on their knees. Their Leader is a complete failure and they are split.

Strammer was rubbish.
Yes, but he still made mincemeat of Raab.

You know it, we all know it.
:lol:

You didn’t watch it, did you. He hardly laid a jab on him - someone should tell Sirkier that social distancing doesn’t apply to debating.
I saw bits which led me to making a reasoned judgement.

The Guardian said so too. 😏

Honestly fella, he was poor.

Like I say, hopefully he’ll improve in time but that was a piss poor start.

Not sure why you posted a picture of Jeremy Corbyn We all know what he looks like . He did his duty by turning up to parliament, so can you enlighten me as to why you posted a picture?

A wee bit specious Maxie. If he starts laying into the tories at this point he gets accused of playing politics with the crisis and the press will plaster it over their front pages for the next decade. Play along and criticise and there is no meat for them. The tories are making a pigs breakfast of things by themselves so all he has to do is sit back and keep pointing out the flaws.

Having watched PM Questions, Keir was (quite correctly) playing the long game; and not immediately going for the jugular.

He made Raab look an utterly incompetent, floundering fool - without even bothering to shift into 2nd gear.

I personally can't wait for when 'Spaffer' Johnson :clown finally decides to crawl out of hiding from under his rock. He's going to get absolutely anihilated by Starmer.

Week in.

No, these people aren't idiots, they're strategically stupid - in other words, they act the way they do because they know it will appeal to the people who give them the votes they need.

True. I don't see it changing though.

Under resource the education system, add an anti-intellectual proud-and-dumb instant gratification culture that values screens over books, mix in a corporately controlled media, and you have the perfect conditions for a compliant electorate who will pretty much do as they're told

Of course they do, but for parliamentary constituencies​, not for electing a leader
