Hmm, I just listened to the whole thing and "very good" wasn't my impression of what she said. It's hard to put into words my conclusion without sounding like I am mocking her disability, which I am not, but she was a complete waste of space. Just spouting boring labour soundbites. She had nothing to say apart from Corbyn good, nasty tories bad.

I think her views in the front line of health and disability care are important - I'd listen to her over the current health minister insisting provision is good and funding well spent. The problem is it spills over into the Labour party having promised her the earth and believing it - particularly when it was the Labour party that introduced the target culture that is currently blighting health services.

What I liked was her giving her experience of the front line of the people with disabilities who have faced the cuts recently. I think her reasoning of why she likes Jezza and Mcdonnell fair enough.

Watched TW. Lord Star of the Key was excellent as usual. Didn't get too excited. NOt sure he's on the ball with 'ruling class' thing.

He's never been less coherent, he talked utter gibberish, neil and portillo took him to task on it.

[Thorodin]

Starkey was for once way off target. Sounded as though he wasn't even convincing himself. What followed was bluster when faced with rejection. A shame, usually coherent.

I have huge respect for Tim's business acumen, but I do think he talks absolute harry about Brexit.

Its mostly the mick families that moved over to Scotland that want to do that. from massive generalisations from the other halves family. Her family and anyone of any pocket want to remain as part of the uk and leave EU.

Not sure where to start with that.

Translated it suggests that Irish Families that relocated to Scotland wish to stay as part of the EU but leave the UK. They are more likely to vote for the SNP than anyone other p[arty. in Scotland
The poster then alludes to his own relations voting intentions and deduces that people of wealth want to leave the EU but remain part of the UK.

In other words Irish people who live in Scotland may be fans of Nicola Sturgeon and the SNP

If Fiona Bruce is going to start the show by standing among the audience, at the very least have wardrobe lend her a pair of trousers that actually reach past her shins.

This is going to be an hour of how bad a no deal brexit will be, with not a shred of information on precisely why.

Over and over again, we hear the same old st.

No deal brexit will be catastrophic
How will it be catastrophic?

Because it will be a cliff edge.
why will it be a cliff edge?

Because it'll be bad for business, bad for industry
In what way, exactly? Higher tariffs? Customs delays?

It'll be catastrophic
You're not answering the question

Oh god the labour bird has already started.

She reminds me of this

Where do they find these utter clowns?

[Andy 308GTB]

I thought it was quiet in here but I have watched 5 minutes of it and I've realised why...

[Cupramax]

Utter dross again, it’s almost as bad as Maitlis’ attempt at chairing a debate.

[Andy 308GTB]

Ed Davey still going on about a People's Vote. FFS.

Yet previously he was complaing about Johnson being incapable of bringing the country back together, and he suggests a solution that is guaranteed to do the very thing he accuses Boris of not being able to do.

What happens if the electorate votes the same way for a second time?

Try again for a third time?

The daft labour woman can’t speak without moving her hands about wildly

Laura Pidcock is an unpleasant gobby git.
How do you actually go through life being that po-faced
