We need to get off this sinking ship and quickly

So it's looking very likely that Bonking Boris will be next UK PM .... bring on chaos, a no deal Brexit,  the collapse of the NI economy in weeks and the certainty of a border poll that will follow ... when historian's review the death of the 'precious Union' and northern Unionism, it will be the greatest WTF moment in history!

Makes for grim reading. Seems like farmers (the DUP voting base?) will be hit hardest

Missed the first 20 min, has north of Ireland and border been mentioned yet?

I missed it if it was the.

Didn't think that format lent itself to having a 'winner' as such. Still think Gove is the most capable of them all.

On my opinion

Stewart came out of it best followed by Hunt. Jeez even Sajid spoke better than Gove who was all soundbites and arse licking. Raab a bumbling fool and was roasted over suspending parliament. Apparently he was a lawyer once. God knows how these lads get through a university degree!

Very Gove like😂

[bennydorano]

Stewart comes across as the most sensible mainly because he's a left leaning Tory and speaks for the sensible majority, he can articulate himself whereas Raab & javid can't. He's never going to win, he'll likely not even make the cut for Tuesday night's debate. It's also been suggested he's a stalking horse for Gove!  Gove was clearly intensely coached and the most serious & professional in his approach - whether that'll do him in good in this format is anyone's guess, but I'd guess there were a lot of highly paid professionals used in his approach. Hunt was way better than I expected from him tbh as he's generally consistently awful imo.

Benny what you mean by stalking horse? That some way Stewart and Gove are in cahoots?
