I'm on a train (no surprise there). I doubt anything that is said or done in that studio tonight will matter one jot. It's distraction theatre for the politically engaged. If anything interesting happens, I'm sure people will let me know.
Be honest. Is there any format to which Boris is suited? If he wasn't up against an old-school Socialist terrorist-fiddler with polices that would make Marx wince, you'd be looking at the other parties right now. He doesn't have to be good. He just has to be better than the competition.
Brutal evisceration of Corbyn, makes me seriously worried about Boris.
Not watching, but if it's that bad then surely that leaves Boris with a 0-0 draw at worst?
Boris under pressure is pretty darn bad, because he gets awkward and spluttering, making him look shifty. Corbyn's generally more direct even as he waffles.

Boris is crap at this. The only format he's good at is stump speeches where he can do his jokey blokey stuff.
I wonder if the neutral answer right at the end will hurt him. Will make Corbyn seem even more of a fence sitter and means he’s renegotiating a deal that he doesn’t even want. Press should have a field day with that.
And Corbyn acknowledges Marriage Allowance removal - now will the media finally pick up on it?
Most people don't even know if they claim it or not.
That makes it ok then?
CCHQ need to go for the throat on it. It makes the top 5% claim and out and out lie. All lower and middle earning married couples pay more under Labour

"Neutral" is bloody terrible. The electorate has many attitudes about Brexit at the moment, but neutral is not one of them!
Regardless of the result of this election it's truly scary that 30% of the electorate are up for voting for a Marxist manifesto.
It isn't, 30% of voters are basically socialists if not Marxists, even in 1987 and 2015 Labour still got 30% and even in 1983, the worst Labour defeat since WW2, Labour got 28%

Are you talking about the transfer of 1200 of the others unused allowance which gives you all of 240?
This allows basic rate taxpayers an extra £240 per annum if their spouse does not earn enough to use up their personal allowance. Many taking advantage of this are married couples with young children, and this is a very important relief for them. You might sneer, but that says more about you than the recipients of the marriage tax allowance.

11,000 sample - whereas period only contained three polls of 1,600 each.
Is Fiona Bruce aware of it? If not, why not?
But very uncomfortable when pinned down on Indy Ref - said two years - might regret that.
Thanks. Guess the answer is to remove the previous three then, and replace with this.
Nice sample size at least, <1% moe.
Question: how does someone with no computer benefit from free broadband?
It's 3rd November 1988 on BBC4 with Top of the Pops.

What sort of deal?
Dont care, I'm not recommending it
She’s resigning in the spring mind you.
If not previousy reported
Rachel Riley is wearing a T shirt saying Corbyn is a racist/
I can't stand her and am shouting at the screen here.
I prefer Jo Swinson by a country mile. And that's saying something.
He’s behind you.
Wait, what
