Just an observation.In summing up tonight, Farage was the one who sounded like a human.Whatever you think of him, he's an adept communicator.
I'm surprised they scheduled another debate in the same week on Friday night with lots of sport on etc. Did we all miss anything?
You can dismiss all the other participants apart from Farage in that debate as all the others were reading off an autocue, so have not got an opinion. And he for the most part buried them anyway as they showed how hesitant they are themselves looking for the opinion of a snotty nosed youngster in Moscow controlling the autocue for all we know. They cannot handle people who can think on their feet, if they go off track they are lost, wooden, no real grasp on the working man who would be the but of jokes lik

How dare the others prepare what they were going to say, very poor of them.The whole debate prior to that closing statement was surely an indication of how they can think on their feet having to respond to other parties including your mate Nigel.
What you stand for should come from the heart, not the autocue.I agree that the debate indicated how they can think on their feet, but I disagree with your assessment of Angela Rayner being third best. In my opinion, she was out of her depth.
Syd, it is the wrong amount, they don't have to change any rate of tax, that is all any party have said, All they have to do is impose tax on more everyday items, especially food, whether basic items or takeaway meals, and squeeze the motorists more, let local government raise local taxes as they want ( not their fault) I think fuel both domestic and transport will be the biggy, we have already seen it a lot higher, they know we will pay it, and a back up excuse is we are saving the world, electric cars will be brought into the fold of tax in the name of equality That £2000 will be more. You stay where you are you could be better off, and we will have a little comfort we can turn to.
Donny, they never at all said anything we have not heard before, labour have one line 14years and all that 14years they have tried to stop everything going through in both houses, have done their best to overthrow the Brexit vote, and will try to overturn it led by a Quisling Both major parties have brought this country down economically and have been willing, and still are, to see living standards, and education and training standards, lower for the vast majority of the population for the last quarter of a century, while spivs and no marks have flourished together with drugs and gang culture It's time for a big change, and time to dump those responsible into the garbage bag.

The country was doing alright until the Global Recession in '08 and it is time for change. What's brought the country down economically is austerity and Brexit, way before the comparable things to other countries, such as Covid and the Ukraine war. I don't think voting for the party that has made decisions such as austerity and enacted hard Brexit is a sensible idea as I don't have Stockholm Syndrome or am I a masochist. Voting for Reform is pretty much along the same lines, why pick the snake oil salesman who has ties to Russia and told you how much better off we would be out of the EU (yet were not) and wants to privatise healthcare, which would make it difficult for poorer people to seek quality medical treatment.Hopefully the people that promoted and voted for the last 14 years numerous times will be making better choices for the country and other fellow human beings in a few weeks time. They need to have a look and see that it's not worked and to carry on doing the same shit would be very naive.
I was hoping to hear some news of possible tax cuts from Labour, did I miss them?
