QUOTE(Doctor Blind @ May 31 2017, 07:40 PM)  Amber Rudd has been in my bad books ever since she made a shock appearance at the Met Office in Exeter and got one of the conferences I was hoping to attend cancelled. Plus she seems to be getting angrier each week, maybe the focus groups are telling the Tories that this works (for a laugh!) Has anyone asked Rudd what a hashtag is yet? |

QUOTE(Brett-Butler @ May 31 2017, 07:51 PM) Note for the future - never agree to a drinking game where you neck a shot every time Leanne Wood says "in Wales". Being able to walk in a straight line is quite good. Jesus Christ you'll get Alcohol poisoning before she's finished her initial intro bit!! |

Leanne just made a whole point without saying Weeyals. In actual shock.

Are you sure it was Leanne that was speaking???
Did a Maybot replace her in an ad break? |

Do Guardian readers really eat more muesli than the average person? Has anyone ever carried out any research into this topic? Seems like an odd dig for Tim Farron to make, given that I imagine Lib Dems would be big Guardianistas.

Well, after that 90 minutes, there's only three things that I can recall from it -
- Theresa May outside my house - Muesli-eating Guardian readers - Watching Bake Off instead of listening to Amber Rudd. I have a sneaking suspicion that Tim Farron has been reading some Robert Cialdini in anticipation of this debate. Jeremy Corbyn could have easily stayed away from this debate with no harm to Labour's chances, he easily got lost in the noise tonight. |

That closing burn from Tim Farron to Amber Rudd *.* not that he was really incorrect.

I am seeing on twitter news that Amber Rudd's father passed on Monday. Kudos to her for being able to come on and do this after that and shame on May for sending her on this week instead of having the guts to do it herself. That choice looks even more cowardly and shameful knowing that.

No one will remember much of what was said in this debate but will remember the PM didn't turn up!

Yeah this one just spoke more about May than anyone there
 I didn't see it but saw bits on the news after and they didn't care much about what anyone else had said, but they spun it as "May cba to come"

Watching the debate with that in mind, I felt for Rudd, at times she sounded strained and like she didn't want to be there and I don't think she came off as a good mouth of Sauron at all, it was, pleasingly, mostly a 5 way attack on 'Bluekip'. May is coming across, by proxy, as potentially the least competent and most useless leader ever.
Farron did pretty excellently tonight, he got the headline grabbing lines and that'll be what you want to get out of this. I did want Corbyn to be a bit more present but by turning up he's pushed the onus on May's absence and he wasn't bad, just not quite as good as with the audience questions before Paxman a few nights ago. Incidentally, Caroline Lucas did the best I've ever seen of her, managing to sound more than just generic 'we should all get along' platitudes, she looked like she was about to get the boot in on Saudi Arabia at one point. |

Personally, I've never watched a TV election debate - I have much more interesting things to do - like watching paint dry.
