    The interviewer is doing the job the bbc didn't in either debate. Bravo

      The first debate was on ITV not BBC? I don’t disagree with your point though.

      Don't know much about Beth Rigby, but she did a fantastic job grilling these two con jobs. The BBC and ITV are appalling at interviewing.

    The two child cap on child benefit discourages having more children in a country already facing aging population and negative population. This is unlike any other country in a similar situation which incentivises having kids and larger families for obvious reasons. These politicians would rather enable the great replacement of British people with foreigners instead of helping struggling British families to raise kids.

      Yes however it stops the career benefit claiming families in the uk rinsing the system whilst not putting anything in themselves it’s black economy. Doesn’t matter to me wether the claimant is born in the country or is an immigrant our benefits culture is unsustainable

    As a journalist - surely the simple question was, why did net migration double, it wasn’t “illegal” migration- so what drove the legal migration numbers….

    Why did immigration go up so much? It's no use in Sunak saying it's 'too high'. We all know that. I want to know what he will do to get it down. Cutting it in half to three hundred and ten thousand is not acceptable. It must come down to what Cameron said he's bringing it down to. That was TENS OF THOUSANDS.

    Feigning credibility for the masses and keeping very quiet about the means by which they'll clobber us after the Election. On a scale of one to ten, the believability is in minus figures.

    Immigration can't be fixed with the magic wand but they should prioritise fixing the NHS waiting list. It's a disgrace that a million or more are waiting to be treated.😮
