Please do a decent job Andrew.

 

[SictorVullivan]

Only 2 minutes in and she's already dodging questions. Smh.

 

[King_Moc]

Neil asks her about being overconfident and coming up with a load of uncosted and half baked policies, May answers about....Brexit.

Despite which, it was a more relevant answer than the one she gave to the first two questions.

Neil straight up suggests that she should be honest over the Social Care 'U-Turn'. She says she has been honest over two other things and then goes off on a tangent.

 

[SictorVullivan]

Glad to see the interviews are live (or very very recent).

Trust in me....because.....trust in me....

 

[Wes]

A scintillating first salvo by Neil. Not letting this go.

 

[Rodelero]

This is outrageous. How could anyone vote for her? She just lies, and lies, and lies.

 

[Real Hero]

she is the worst

 

[King_Moc]

Lol at May talking about other people scaremongering.

 

[Spaghetti]

Boris Johnson heckled in St Ives:

(LD target seat, woo)

This was very, very satisfying.

 

[D4Danger]

This is tragic. I can't remember the last time a politician got caught in a lie and just won't admit they're wrong like this.

 

[Spuck-uk]

He's not even trying going in for the kill, but she's willing to just self-own so hard..

 

[Huw_Dawson]

This sounds like a car crash.

If this is how he softballs, I feel absolute terror for Farron and Corbyn.

 

[Rodelero]

This is tragic. I can't remember the last time a position got caught in a lie and just won't admit they're wrong.

It's actually hilarious that she (and whoever is advising her) doesn't realise how bad this looks. I don't think Neil is actually being strong either, she's absolutely atrocious live.

He's moved onto the 8 billion they're putting into the NHS (which is uncosted). Excellent.

 

[Stop It]

Are you guys able to decipher this leaflet I got through the post today? I guess they decided not to have someone check over it before it got sent to the printers.

And to think millions of people voted for these idiots.

Politics in this country is truly buggered. May is as strong and stable as a Greek bond issue, Corbyn has good policies ruined by wanting to give everyone everything and handing the unions "their" industries back and the Lib Dems have a leader who makes paint dry watching seem like unmissable viewing.

Fuck it, I'm voting Green because I'm in a safe Tory seat anyway and Lucas is actually the only non nationalist leader who actually seems to have a clue.

 

[satriales]

Andrew Neil not accepting her bullshit.

 

[King_Moc]

Bloody hell, non-stop whattaboutism about Corbyn playing 'politics' with old people.

 

[JonathanEx]

God, if this is what she's like with Andrew Neil, Paxman will be absolutely fucking destroying her

 

[Spuck-uk]

Andrew Neil: "So Jeremy Corbyn is now re-writing your manifesto?"

I take it back, Neil is monstering her now.

You think corbyn want to give everyone everything but Lucas has a clue?

 

[Uzzy]

Playing Politics always seems like the stupidist attack line. They're politicians, they should be doing that.

 

[jelly]

She isn't good. Brexit is going to be more of a disaster if this is her strong self.

 

[D4Danger]

fucking hell she couldn't give a straight answer if her life depended on it.

 

[jm89]

she is gonna start crying

 

[Spuck-uk]

fucking hell she couldn't give a straight answer if her life depended on it.

To paraphrase H S Thompson

"So crooked she has to screw her trousers on"

 

[Faddy]

Look at our record...

Cuts to disability benefits, hospitals in crisis, social care at breaking point. The Tories are in the dock for how they have managed services.

 

[King_Moc]

she is gonna start crying

I was thinking that, but I think it's just that her face looks like that.

 

[Huw_Dawson]

This is why she chickened out of the leader's debate, BTW. She is TERRIBLE under pressure. She's a mediocre Home Secretary who won the premier job because everyone else fell over at once.

 

[jelly]

Theresa say nothing May.

 

[D4Danger]

She is barely even answering the questions it's just noise with a few catchphrases (which Andrew Neil is already sick of)

It was the poor, immigrants and EU's fault. Vote Tory. People are stupid.

 

[Randy Lanzarote]

She's going to regret making this campaign all about her, because if she doesn't return the Conservatives to power with a decent increase in their majority, the knives will be out.

He's being very patronising with her. I like it.

I just want him to crack and tell her to shut the fuck up

 

[Spuck-uk]

"Yes, you've made that point several times, Prime Minister"

I retract anything about bias I may have insinuated about Andrew Neil.

 

[jelly]

Enjoy the cold winter voters.

 

[Huw_Dawson]

I told you man. He is a savage brute of a journo.

 

[Faddy]

Andrew Neil has her reeling from what are pretty basic questions.

 

[Dirtyshubb]

This is a shit show, he is just beating the shit out of her. Especially nice job of going against her brexit narrative.

 

[D4Danger]

"We're going to consult and talk to people"

"shouldn't you have done that before you came up with the policy?"

This describes everything she does so well

 

[King_Moc]

He's interviewing Nuttall tomorrow? Oh man, i'm all over that.

 

[BossDarkseid]

Yep. I know someone who works in law who worked with May's people on something a few years ago and said they would quite often give the impression that...basically she has trouble understanding people who aren't in her circle. A little bit of being surrounded by Yes Men etc, but also someone who seemed so mysteriously confident in their own abilities and way of thinking that they couldn't comprehend why someone might not think the same way.

Basically, no one really liked working for/with her.

The way she almost fell into the job of PM almost makes me wonder if she ever really wanted it, or if her reasoning was something as weak as "I'm a Vicar's daughter. Therefore I must be the moral compass this country needs" : /

It would be satisfying if the media started to turn on the Tories and - if they come in with a reduced majority, because there's a snowball's chance in hell they don't win - hammer home the hypocrisy of "THERESA MAY'S PARTY" etc.

 

[Randy Lanzarote]

Her voice keeps breaking, I'm not sure if she is going to cry or lose it and start shouting at him.

Either would be acceptable.

 

[Rodelero]

She looks so uncomfortable, she cannot wait for this to be over.

 

[King_Moc]

Why is she wearing an actual steel chain around her neck? Is that normal?

 

[Faddy]

Why is she wearing an actual steel chain around her neck? Is that normal?

I believe it is made of brass

 

[D4Danger]

Why is she wearing an actual steel chain around her neck? Is that normal?

I think it's connected to an anchor

 

[jm89]

here we go when she cant defend her bullshit lets make it about the individual

 

[Dirtyshubb]

Why is she wearing an actual steel chain around her neck? Is that normal?

It's a not so subtle hint at what life will be like under their ideal Britain.

 

[Rodelero]

I mean, her only pitch seems to be:

"Yes, everything I'm saying is awful or simply untrue"

"But who do you trust?"

"Me or Jeremy Corbyn?"
