A lot of his friends are saying he could be a future leader (Tim Mongomery) and playing on his working class background!

As IF Sajid's a future leader. His time'll be gone by the time Boris vacates.

I was decidedly unimpressed with Sajid Javid last night. Obviously I didn't expect to agree with him much (if at all) but I still thought he was pretty poor.

Identity politics can only take you so far.

Given that Javid is a firm supporter of the government's appalling/reckless/stupid/never-ending 'Help 2 Sell (and Encourage Massive Debt).. er, I mean Buy' scheme I would like to add my disapproval of him in general.

Tim Farron reminds me of The Master from Doctor Who for some reason.

You know it's bad when a Ukipper is most passionately outspoken against the scandal of zero-hour contracts. Yvette Cooper has been so useless, which is a shame because before tonight she was one of the few Labour people I thought was decent.
EDIT: That said, she'll probably look like the model of authenticity and sincerity by this time next week since apparently Chuka Umunna is going to be on *shivers* This post has been edited by Danny: May 1 2014, 10:37 PM |

Anyone heard of him? |

For someone who DRAPES HIMSELF IN THE FLAG such I'm always surprised he doesn't rhyme it with the English pronunciation of garage.

Just watched last night's. Joey Barton was oddly underwhelming, despite Twitter hyping him up as being "controversial" I thought he didn't say much that was interesting at all.
It was good to see the Scottish Labour woman actually say that it's stupid to try and blame all the country's ills on immigrants (though she did end up throwing in those teeth-grinding platitudes like "honest debate" and "listen to people's concerns"), rather than some of the cringeworthy talk of late from the likes of Ed Balls about how Labour needed to be "tougher" on immigration.

I only saw a bit of it and am planning to watch more of it in the next few days. The UKIP woman seemed particularly awful with roughly the intelligence of a baked bean.

The Ukip woman seemed pretty impressive to me, in a 'if I knew nothing about politics at all and didn't have access to a fact checker I'd think she won' way. She was quite gifted at arguing for a manifesto that wasn't the one Ukip ran on, and came off fairly convincing in explaining away all the accusations against Ukip (even if all the explanations were patently false).

I enjoyed the programme too, Alan Johnson should be leader of the Labour party over the weak Ed Miliband. He has the great virtue of speaking like a human being rather than just in fluent politician-speak. However, I can't help feeling his honesty was a sign that he has no further front-bench ambitions and so can speak more freely. Politics needs more people like him. |

Russell Brand and Nigel Farage on now.
Underwhelming so far tbh. |

I'll be watching it 30 minutes behind, as we've got our own politics show on before.
I really hope one of the panelists goes full Wanda on Russell Brand. "Aristotle was not Belgian". |
