    Strong and stable leadership

    Holy crap she is awful.

    Paxman was worse though. He makes you appreciate Andrew Neil. Both camps will be fairly happy about those performances. No real blood drawn.

      He seemed to go a lot easier on May than on Corbyn, and whilst Corbyn tried to answer questions but Paxman wouldn't let him, Paxman tried to let May answer questions and she failed miserably.

      Weak and Wobbly.

        I think someone had a word during the break. He wouldn't let Corbyn get a word in, although that's probably to Corbyn's advantage. Far fewer interruptions of May, which is easier for the viewer.

        These debates are watched by a tiny minority of the electorate (and, even then, mainly in the background). They're only useful insofar as they can generate that car crash moment for the news bulletins and papers (which many more do watch/read). Neither crashed and burned.

          May's team will be delighted. They'll be popping the champagne corks.

            Agree that it won't change much. Amusing to watch though.

              She is awful though. It was never a question of whether she was going to be exposed, but when. Hacks from across the political spectrum have been saying this for months. The main fur cup of Team May has been to let it happen during the campaign. She may excel at vacuous, Brexit-related, soundbites (and the only moments of real support from the audience came on those) but she's out of her depth. The circumstances in which she finds herself are exceptionally fortuitous.

                  I read all the tweets from #battlefornumber10 and they were all heavily in support of corbyn and negative towards may. That wont be how the main stream media report it though.

                  He let may of the hook.

                    Well, yes, because Twitter isn't populated by the ageing Tory electorate. Twitter is a bubble at the best of times, but when the electorate is so divided by age, it's completely useless as a barometer.
