sky news debate

[petemurphy]

err well not a debate but whos gonna watch it?

[petemurphy]

they should hook em up to a lie detector to make it more interesting

[petemurphy]

hope paxman doesnt hold back on milltt. assuming he hasnt run away scared. think he may be in the toilet

[petemurphy]

audience bit is pointless its just a ste question time

can see why cameron doesnt want to do this

[petemurphy]

i'd throw paxman by being a stroppy teenager harry enfield style

[petemurphy]

hmm theyve switched the format thats not fair

Must say he's struggling with this bit - not that it necessarily makes a good PM.

as a millitt hater i actually think hes doing quite well

[petemurphy]

lets make the bacon sarnie joke again

[petemurphy]

oooh he looks like a banker

[petemurphy]

i just want paxman to look at him and not say a word

[petemurphy]

ooh hes in for a fight

[petemurphy]

wouldnt it be easier to just make paxman prime minister?

love to see boris or clarkson on this..

[petemurphy]

did they cut to the audience with cameron? seems a bit unfair

[petemurphy]

oh that was a harsh ambush at the end "are you ok ed"

Exactly.

I'm no Labour fan, but appreciate that his brother was (and is I presume) articulate, calm, quick thinking, and natural, and someone I could see as PM.

Ed is none of those things to the point where his forced marches out from the lectern, clearly practiced with a trainer just don't seem 'right' when the question is "Why are you so grumpy?"

Hence the questions about his brother, which I feel are quite legitimate. I think if he was leader Labour would be looking at a majority today.

v interesting glowing article about his brother in the times last sunday - apparently he's gone down v well in america and is ready to take over when ed fks it up
