She let gollum do an excellent impression of Owen Jones all night and jumped all over BoJo. The Pratt on sky was as bad at the last GE. It's as if someone has told them that not letting the candidates speak and getting in as many of their own digs as possible is the way to do it. That sky bloke was the Asian guy with slightly chubby cheeks.

Sure, we could debate how 'genetically' English the panel of Conservative contenders are but I wasn't referring to that....and besides it's a moot point since anyone from the UK qualifies. What I was referring to was in making a counterpoint to Dan's general downbeat attitude towards the English ethnicity. I never realised it would make that big a deal. Just leaders that put us first will do, rather than labour and especially Corbyn and McDonnell who definitely do not. Fecking Tony bliar.

Time pressures. There were 5 candidates who had to deal with quite a few questions in an hour and Emily Maitlis couldn't allow each one to make a speech, hence the interruptions. So they didn't really want to let the potential Prime Ministers answer questions but to deliver quick sound bites instead. It seems to have been designed more as a puff piece for the BBC than a serious attempt to understand the individuals' viewpoints. Radio 5 phone in this morning was on last night's program asking people who they thought came out of it well. It amused me that most of the listeners who called in were Labour voters who wanted to moan about all of them

THe Blue party are really fragile right now. It beats me how they allowed their leadership competition to be televised especially with that shower of losers. It’s not like the public get to vote on it anyway. Agreed - no one came out of it well.

Boris Johnson is no loser. As Labour will find out.

I was impressed with Gove......Good brain, but we knew that already.....he's also overly ambitious....However, I'd want Johnson to have him in a prominent influential role. Javid and Hunt are up there.....though I can't stand Hunt. Johnson is the vote winner....the 'face' as it were. The guy who will get a higher percentage of the 'don't knows' to vote Tory. The other contenders come across as competent department holders to me.....Gove is the brain but a vote loser as is Hunt....Javid is somewhere in the middle. Stewart is in the wrong party.

Edited by Stirlingsays (19 Jun 2019 11.38am) As I was. My wife is an erstwhile secondary school teacher and she never liked Gove when he was in charge of education, a view shared by many,many teachers because I suspect of the demands he placed on them, but she told me last night that if he makes the final two she will vote for him in preference to Johnson.She sees Gove as very erudite,good on detail,top of his brief and a strong leader who won't be bullied by the EU or take any nonsense from anyone.

I have a couple of friends who’ve worked with both Gove and Johnson who totally endorse that opinion. They both found Gove engaged and on point whilst Boris was, let’s say, not much of either.
