  1. That was a reaction to one of them giving a straight answer to a question, in all probability. 🙄

  2. Isn’t that missing the point? It’s not the fact that they’re heated that’s the problem. It’s the fact that they’re making the sorts of allegations from which you can’t come back, meaning their respective supporters are necessarily bound to the same set of divisions. Ergo, whoever wins will only be taking half of their party with them, unable to count on loyalty in critical votes over policy when it comes to the big decisions. Thus, knowing they remain divided and will lose the next election, people will be looking to the loser of this competition as their new leader of the opposition within two years, rendering the party unelectable and sabotaging it right now, due to lack of self control. They should be passionate about Britain, not each other’s failings, NONE of which either party pointed out when they were in cabinet together, making the truth of their sudden complaints a bit hard to swallow. Well, they’re probably both telling the truth about each other, aren’t they? They’re merely exposing their own hypocrisy in not addressing them when it mattered. We don’t need personality politics or personal attacks. We need a plan! For the country! And we need that NOW!

  3.  @yourhuckleberry1904  : Appalling? What are you? Russian? Or 10 years old? Starmer is not, “exciting,” enough for you? His Facebook page doesn’t make you giggle like a schoolgirl? Can’t you people grow up enough to realise that you WANT your politics and your politicians to be dull and boring. The only interesting politics is that which deals with BAD things happening. You’re an argument for why IQ tests should be compulsory before enfranchisement. It’s not The X Factor, trump fan. How about we hire the boring guy who just does his job without fuss and gives us nothing to complain about? 🤦‍♂️🙄

  4. The fact that Truss is right about Sunak doesn’t explain why she was happy to serve with him as chancellor without complaint. The only reason I prefer her as a candidate is because she’s a hawk on Putin, while Sunak has too many offshore billions and is friends with the same oligarchs and bankers that Putin is. Sunak will sell the free world to the likes of Putin. Making Truss the lesser of two weevils. Hopefully we’ll get a coalition government between Labour and the Lib Dems next time around?
