She's better tonight than I thought she'd be.

So far.

So far the same tired old cliches from May.

 

[Syder]

So MayBot 3000 is going for an "everyone is shit except us" tact tonight.

 

[Bazza]

Anyone going to be taking a tally of how many times questions are answered or avoided by each of them.

 

[FlammableD]

Hoping Zack Sabre Jr's music hits and him and Corbs do a run in to confront May, proper wrasslin' style.

 

[Don Draper's Hat]

Go on, beardy!

 

[Ravensmash]

Go on, beardy!

That's a passionate guy right there!

 

[Empty]

the whole line is utter bollocks when labour has accepted the results of the referendum and the lib dems have 10 mp's.

 

[Faddy]

This isn't good.

The audience need to stop hitting her with personal attacks and hit her on policies.

Eh? What personal attacks?

Nah, she's objectively poor.

There's two ways for a politician to answer a question

1. Actually answer it (rare)
2. Seem like you're answering it but smoothly judo it a related topic which your stronger on (i.e talk about what you want to talk about)

May, like most politicians, does number 2, she's just so clunky at it that it seems evasive.

I can't find that Corbyn entrance gif, so just imagine I posted the one you're thinking of.

 

[Syder]

"Successful Brexit" is an oxymoron, no?

 

[Aki-at]

That question about debating Corbyn directly instead of through the media got a slight grimace out of her.

 

[Fergie]

This isn't good.

What are these personal attacks so far?

 

[Deleted member 231381]

There's like 5-7 Conservatives in the audience clapping as furiously as possible to make themselves sound like a majority.

 

[D4Danger]

"if the EU start being awkward why don't we just cut and run and pay no money"

kill me

 

[Spaghetti]

May looks on the verge of crying continually for some reason. Lots of weird grimacing.

 

[jelly]

Applauded that, morons.

 

[excowboy]

"It's important that people have a say and I'm respecting the will of the British people (but completely ignoring the 48%)"

 

[Real Hero]

How can anyone clap her nothing statements

 

[Faddy]

Eh? What personal attacks?

The first questioner basically said she was a terrible home secretary and PM. Then she stuttered over what u-turns. And calling the election for her own purposes.

Attacking her policies will show May in a worse light

 

[Oriel]

No May, there's no talk by any European leader of "punishing Britain". This is a myth, like pretty much everything else the Brexishiters spout.

 

[Uzzy]

How can anyone clap her nothing statements

Because 30 years of Euroscepticism have led people to think they're the enemy.

 

[Dirtyshubb]

I wish they had better questions, some just either aren't hitting all the vital points or are just crap. The first was the only great one.

 

[Spaghetti]

How can anyone clap her nothing statements

It's a Question Time audience. They will generally clap for literally anything.

 

[Fergie]

Tad bit better than last time. Just a tad.

You must be watching another debate then because nothing of the sort was said.

 

[jelly]

Free trade agreement and what do you give in return?

 

[JonathanEx]

It's a Question Time audience. They will generally clap for literally anything.

Also the pro Tory people in the audience will be overcompensating because they believe they need to be heard over the biased BBC audience

 

[WhatNXt]

Questioning has been absolutely idiotic so far. And yes I've seen Question Time before, before you ask.

 

[Thornton Reed]

Tad bit better than last time. Just a tad.

Agreed. Still waiting for Corbyn to pop up with a steel chair

 

[Oriel]

There's like 5-7 Conservatives in the audience clapping as furiously as possible to make themselves sound like a majority.

Boris at 10pm: "That was the most left wing audience I have ever seen".

 

[Deleted member 231381]

This is going back to being a Brexit election, which is bad for Labour.

 

[jelly]

Deliver the will of the people, shit sandwich incoming.

 

[Freewheelin']

She hasn't answered one question directly.

 

[Syder]

Making our economy weaker does mean the 'sky will fall in' for the poorest people though.

 

[GrizzleBoy]

Okay I get it.

The reason May has been totally fucking absent for weeks is because she was preparing for this.

I refuse to believe that these are natural, off the cuff answers........she's not even taking a single second to produce an answer.....

 

[Uzzy]

I've heard some of her responses word for word before.

 

[Ushojax]

I am enjoying these flickers of despair that occasionally flutter across May's face whenever she gets ethered.

 

[Xando]

Does she still think she's gonna sit down in brussels and negotiate this?

 

[D4Danger]

nothing she's said is new.

Its great

 

[*Splinter]

Nego see a sions

 

[jelly]

EU has been very clear on what they won't budge on so.........

 

[Deleted member 231381]

She's doing frustratingly well so far. The longer the topic is Brexit and the more she can say she'll stick it to Europe, the better she'll do.

 

[Charlie0108]

Answer a goddamn question, Theresa

 

[Spaghetti]

This is boring. Probably boring enough to be in May's favour.

 

[Don Draper's Hat]

Diane Abbot.

Diane Abbott.

Diane Abbott.

 

[Beefy]

Pretty clear why May had to get leadership the way she has.

 

[Empty]

lol ffs you idiot a rubbish own on hammond/abott so she can reply with an easy attack ask her about the nhs
