The manifesto will be out tomorrow so hopefully he’ll do some good

Yeah, I'm interested to see it. I hope its some good even though I won't gladly accept defeat; I want the best for the country and economy.

Sunak has the demeanour of an underachieving employee at his his performance review meeting.
Rigby is a better interviewer than I expected she might be.

The 'would you even still be PM in a year?' is a flippant question but genuinely it's quite possible he wouldn't even if he won.
Someone started heckling and the audience have thrown the shackles off :rofl:

Blaming external factors rather than taking responsibility.

Conservatives are responsible for voting in Truss. Sunak predicted it when she announced her plans. I think more faith can be placed in Sunak as PM as he has stabilised everything and sorted out BREXIT and immigration temporarily.

There’s no reason for young people to vote conservatives and I’m wondering what happened in the Scottish Debate yesterday.

If you regard stagnating growth and rising unemployment as stabilising everything, then we want markedly different things for the UK.

“I hope that this has helped you decide”

You could pick up a random rock from your garden, have that rock run as Labour leader and people would still vote for the rock over Sunak.

Harsh, but he's not that convincing given Covid, Truss, cost of living, although I think we should recognise that is not his fault.

Nah I partially blame him.

Sunak can recruit all the new doctors and nurses he likes but unless he actually sorts out the pay and conditions, the experienced NHS workforce will continue to haemorrhage to jobs overseas. You can't just throwing new people into the bucket unless you sort out that massive leak.

Rigby is good in general (if you exclude her actions during COVID), she holds people to account when asking questions.
Moment of the night for me was in the aftermath show and Sam Coates sticking the knife into Sunak big time when they shared their YouGov poll result.
