The interviewer is doing the job the bbc didn't in either debate. Bravo
Beth Rigby is impressive isn't she?
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.
We''re doomed!
😅
Which Party is in favour of stopping the interrogation tactics of the PIP assessments that make you feel like a Criminal when you have heart problems and make you feel a lot more ill ?
Whilst listening to the interviews I watched Mars Attack.
We want everything they say done or get out.. help the people..
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
Was his dad a toolmaker ...🤔
Apparently he owned an engineering business.
Yes his dad made one big tool
@@jimmymcdonald426😂
His dad definitely made a tool!
A better tool than JC?
She should have asked him how they will make rents and mortgages return to normal.
If these two automatons are potential PM...just how bad are they in the Civil Service.......absolutely terrifying.
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….
BBC and ITV were rubbish on the debate, this lady is doing a great job
The income tax still high
STARMERS DAD MADE A TOOL ALRIGHT ..W⚓️
Who do I vote for? All liars!
Reform party
Reform all the way
Independents or greens in protest. Reform are just Tories rehashed.
Nigel Farage lied to get brexit, he can't be trusted. @@billymcintosh6384
lol @ the astroturfed online support for Reform. Brexit was the biggest lie ever told in British politics 😂
Why didn't personal allowance go up 😂
Labour is just same
"because an election is an important moment for our country..."
It was only months back he was on the side that the general public don't want one.
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.
Tax on Tesco and Sainsburys who have profited on the high rise prices and covid. When people went mad in covid filling the shelves up. Gas and elec companies too
I just wonder why sky news said Starmer won this debate yet audience were not convinced with what Starmer was saying. Starmer couldn't answer what was asked
Vote Reform, you know it makes sense...
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.
Beth Rigby is BRILLIANT !!! Catching wooden starmer everytime, starver can't answer a straight question ( or won't) typical politician, BETH YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL !!!!!!
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.😮
she wouldnt let him finish would she? pity her husband
He's made numerous promises he won't keep if he gets into Downing Street.
Mind numbing. Im voting Reform UK
All WE WANT IS OUR COUNTRY BACK
Iam British,give me £120.000 plus £40.000 for each child under 18 I go you won't see me for ten years..is it fair sunak?
All this chat means nothing unless they they are prepared to build houses .Rent prices are just a tax by the rich .
I'm voting for Reform its far better than voting for these two
I bet sunak profited from high inflation. Money in bank then more interest.
Starmer was far better than Sunak. Sunak was bludgeoned
They were both terrible definitely not PM material... If you havent already watch the full version
Child benefits! Don’t have a kid if you can’t afford it!
Hi
Vote for Nigel he was great in the jungle 😂
All the Tory voters in the comments absolutely crying is making my week 😂😂😂😂😂
The only way to save 🇬🇧 is vote reform ❤❤❤❤
Bull... the only way to save Britain is to take power away from banks, re-industrialise Britain and bring the value of houses down significantly in order to make the buggers more affordable.
Can’t can’t vote for either of these 2 ! For the first time I’ll vote reform
Reform 🇬🇧
Vote Reform.
Brilliant performance by Rishi. He oozes leadership quality.
shame that same ooze couldn't have dribbled a little earlier
😂😂😂
(.. like on D Day)
He oozes Churchillian leadership qualities
Lies, lies, corruption and lies. Both parties are just as bad. I’m done with better the devil you know nonsense! I’m voting REFORM!
Yeahhhhh cos the far right always help if only there were countries to look at were the far right got in power because of desperate people and hatred of the other parties to use as a case study ……oh wait 😏😏
