I thought Amber Rudd actually did decently well there. The ganging up on her was counter-productive. It let her play the serious grown-up delivering what the people want on Brexit, immigration and foreign policy in the face of all the shouty lefties. They are going to absolutely hammer the Coalition of Chaos poo poo now.

Corbyn killed it on domestic stuff though. And I think the only thing that really matters in this debate is that May didn’t turn up.

They were going to hammer this poo poo anyway, anything the tories have said that hasn't been a soundbite has been a well deserved disaster for them.

Overall thoughts, small parties did the best. Lucas and Wood absolutely bossed it. Labour had a few hiccups, especially corbyn almost falling off a ledge when asked if the police cuts not happening would've stopped Manchester. Overall, jam man did well though, and the tories came off looking like asses, and since nobody gaffed seriously may not showing is still the biggest issue.

My basic takehome from the debate was that it was worse for the Conservatives than it was good for Labour. Corbyn wasn't stellar, just competent. May however looks worse than ever

The main thing is Corbyn won points just for being there. Theresa May pushed a grieving daughter in front of the camera so she could hide. Corbyn didn't gently caress up notably, so that's all he needed to look more strong and stable than the woman who makes orphaned children fill her podium because she's a coward.

May looks terrible. Amber Rudd actually did okay considering - she spoke like a human being (albeit a Tory).

I thought Caroline Lucas and Angus Roberston were the most impressive. Corbyn was fine but the Brexit stuff was awkward, there's no way to get round that if he doesn't want to alienate one or the other half of the voters though.

Lmao, the guy who said 'bollocks' to May has a piece in The Guardian:

I called Theresa May’s NHS lies ‘bollocks’ on live TV. Now I’m voting Labour

quote:

I was undecided but the prime minister’s refusal to give a straight answer at the leaders’ hustings infuriated me. Corbyn has convinced me he deserves a chance

Nothing theoretically, but I can see how it could be a problem for someone looking to lead the UK. There's no public support in the UK for chopping off one of the four countries in the UK. Keeping your countries' territorial integrity is one of the most fundamental duties of a leader.

I'll be interested to see what effect this has on popular opinion, if anything, because I don't think it did anything positive for Corbyn. May skipping the debate is certainly embarrassing, but I'd be surprised if it negatively affected anybody's voting intention.

Pleasantly surprised, mind.

Her entire deal is being stronger than corbyn, and, in particular, stronger than corbyn because she's going to march into brussels and be a "bloody difficult woman". The big takeaway is that she actually prefers to run and hide when faced with someone who might be mean to her, pushing grieving daughters in the firing line instead if need be.

When this election was called the Tories were going to walk away with a historic majority. If they only come away with small gains it'll be a massive embarrassment. If they lose seats it'll be an enormous victory for Labour and a vindication of Corbyn as leader.

I think if Corbyn bombed, it would make it look like a good idea for May but him holding up means the big questions remains

The money is different colours according to value but you can use any of it to buy the gasworks, stations, etc as long as you meet the value. And, having bought them, straight away you start loving people through owning it, whereas before everyone could land there and be fine.

Every newspaper always declares a debate a win for their preferred candidate, even if Rudd had utterly crashed and burned the Telegraph and the Mail would have spun it as a resounding victory for common sense against the forces of communism and terrorist sympathisers. They can't, however, spin "Theresa May didn't turn up" in any way but a laughably transparent one - even the Telegraph took a shot at her for it.
