Question Time & This Week

Maybe Corbo should engage with the public on the matter then.

If he wants to win, agreed. The discussion on Question Time is utterly pointless though: Left leaning people talking about how immigrants run the NHS, right leaning people talking about how we are a small country and cannot cope, idiots cloaking racism in terms like "the sort of people we want here". It's such a waste of time (imo).
 
Should start a drinking game revolving around mentions of the "Institute for Fiscal Studies"
 
Universal Credit that wasted millions and millions of tax payers money.
 
A £12/hr Living Wage, just like that? I wonder if Farron has run this policy by his party.
 
Tim Farron reminds me of Andy Burnham in terms of his general unlike ability.
 
Melanie Phillips is propping up this panel, if not for her presence it would be appallingly weak.
 
Tory girl alert . Telling porkies for effect.Rather like her leader.
 
They were all poor.
 
The panel for tonight's programme is: Amber Rudd (Conservative), Louise Haigh (Labour), Roger Helmer (UKIP), Rod Liddle (Sun columnist) and Simon Schama (historian).

Ah quick reminder for those who don't know who Roger Helemer is

Roger Helmer, UKIP MEP, said that being gay is "abnormal and undesirable" and not to be "celebrated", adding it was "not a lifestyle worthy of valid equal respect".

Roger Helmer said the NHS should fund "gay cure" therapy.

That time Roger Helmer compared same sex marriage to incest.

That time Roger Helmer compared homophobia to not liking Early Grey tea.

I should say I thought he was already a cnut before knowing all this, just from this picture alone.

Ah what a massive cnut indeed.
 
Public opinion has really turned on this when Dimbleby is having to ask for people opposed to bringing in more refugees
 
Dimbleby's got Rudd on the back foot here.



ETA: And he put an end to Haigh's diversion down pretty sharpish too.

I went to a grammar school. They do nothing to help social mobility, they just separate middle/upper class kids from the rest.
 
Feel really sorry for that lady who's upset but what you do expect when you vote Tory.
 

Just generally. The reaction to his leadership was much more positive on today's QT than previously, although of course that could just be the selection of the audience.

I think he is underestimated though. He started the leadership election as a 20/1 outsider. He stood no chance of winning that contest in June. Less than four months later he won the largest mandate of any Labour leader. He has four years work on the next contest he stands no chance of winning.
