    The BBC's audience was rather...... how should I say it......umm??.... full of remoaners and left wingers... even giving the lovely Michelle a roasting for questioning Corbyn about his costings <whistle>

    You are quite right Super if the May was summoned to appear by the 'National Institution' BBC she should have gone!

    The audience were so biased it was bloody funny. Made me laugh anyway. The BBC commissioned a private company to get a neutral audience, I'd say someone was tellin porkies about their political leanings.

    Audience bias notwithstanding, Amber Rudd did a pretty good job. I'm not sure whether or not that helps the Tories' campaign, which is all about Mrs May, who has been poor.

    Enjoyed seeing the Daily Fail wingeing about audience bias this morning. Who exactly is more biased than them?

    Rudd came across as a stronger candidate than May.

    The audience was ridiculous. Unfortunately the Tories have done a pretty decent job of highlighting that.

    The Sun's front page story about Corbyn getting pummelled by all 6 of the other panellists is a lie that our CEO would have been proud of. It was probably written before the debate.

    This election has to down as voting for the most undesirable bunch of t******! In my opinion, Corbyn is the best out of the bunch, but I cannot stand the people he's surrounded himself with, especially Diane Abbot. Always sits on the sideline, doesn't make any decisions.

    If you asked me, 90% of the politicians are highly irrelevant, and not worth the money I pay them from my from my wages. There should be culling of politicians; the size of the government should be significantly reduced and as a result a reduction in income tax (not National Insurance), so that Parliament will actual start to deliver value for the people that fund it.

    Two thirds of the country didnt vote for the tories last time, so any audience is likely to have a majority not agreeing with their policies and they have to stand on their abysmal record of failed austerity that has achieved nothing for the country but made spivs and shysters millions.... The idea is they sell us their new policies..... Oh wait a minute...

    All we have had is Corbyn bashing and Brexit means Brexit.... No wonder they are getting slammed by those who would never vote for them.

    Corbyn says he will write off every student debt. Didn't see how he would do it do.

    This is very lib dem in the early 00's.

    The Tories haven't costed anything at all. Anything. Labiur has a costing in their manifesto. Amber Rudd can witter on about the magic money tree- she cheerfully ran companies based in Bermuda to avoid paying UK tax. The more I read about the two main parties in this election, the easier it gets to see where I would vote. Theresa Mayhem is dangerous to the UK.

    But promises of abolishing student debt - how is this possible? Haven't the tories sold it off (like most things)?

    Yes, to a firm of Loan Sharks who charge interest of 6.1%. Labour have been encouraging young people to register to vote for obvious reasons, but the Tories have not done so on a single occasion. Quite the reverse- while Labour have been putting ads on Facebook with exactly this message , the Tories have been outbidding them for advertising space, with the result that negative posters of Jeremy Corbyn appear instead. Not working, though, is it? The latest poll puts Labour 3% behind! By concentrating all their fire on Corbyn they have made him stronger, and taken attention away from the splits in the Labour Party. Maybe Sir Lynton Crosbie will be stripped of his knighthood after the election.

    Royston is definitely missed. Still plenty of time for Labour to shoot itself in the foot, which should get him back.

    Has anyone noticed since he vanished, Labour started closing in on the Tories. It's all a plot. He's engineering a Labour victory out there in hacking land so that the marxists get the blame for the fallout of Brexit. In this fantasy, Theresa May is a sort of Lee Harvey Oswald figure, set up to lead the Tories to 4 years of opposition while bemoaning, ''I'm a patsy' to the press.

    Are you suggesting the rabid fecker is a fair weather tory?
    I started of thinking that Corbyn was a tory stooge, now it looks like Agent May must be a labour stooge and is doing the job particularly well.
