Along with those ridiculous voxpops you get on the news where thickos express their political opinions, I'd also like to banish these American/Presidential-style leader debates.

I watch up to the opening answer from Sunak where the woman talked about how hard things were and Sunak said that 'the cost of living crisis has hit every family in the this country'. :lol:

Starmer said he would never use private health care.

I simply refuse to believe he's never had private health cover as a benefit in his illustrious career.

Hoover Attack:- Starmer said he would never use private health care.

Me:- Some people have principles. Still I don't suppose you would know about, especially as you have unfounded beliefs.

Yeah, that's just bonkers. Anyone with a half-decent job has private healthcare benefits nowadays.

Just like Susan Hall who couldnt stop saying 'pay per mile' in the London Mayor debate, Sunak couldnt stop saying 'Labour will raise your tax by £2000'. Its really dishonest stuff.

Yeah, fair point. I can imagine a young, fiery (not yet Sir)kieth marching into the accounts dept and demanding Maureen removes him from the scheme as soon as the BUPA introductory pack landed on his desk.

Sirkieth has already shown he doesn't have principles. Time and time again.

I know it’s not a sensible approach with the average voter but I wish he’d say, yes mate we are going to raise some peoples tax by a very small amount in order to make everyone’s lives better after the sh*t you’ve put us in

Luckily the audience weren't shy in laughing at some of Sunaks bull sh*t arguments.

I know we voters can be thick, but talking about planned tax cuts after massively hiking taxes to cover for Tory f*ck ups was incredibly insulting to the intelligence of everyone.

For balance sake, being given a private health package by your employer doesn’t mean you have to use it. But you already knew that.

You said I don't seem to hit with a lot of it.

Using logic, you must believe I hit with some of it. Thank you, I'll take that.
