Exactly what May said about March, without actually saying he would definitely no deal on October 31. Listening to him he is not going to no deal, which is a relief.

Sharp work by Javid, getting unanimity on an independence investigation into Tory islamophobia; he’d moved on before BJ realises he’s been done and starts to chunter unsuccessfully.0

Sure, but he at least claimed he wanted to borrow less. Javid's not likely to improve that record starting out with a view that he's comfortable increasing the national debt even further.another_richard said:

The country has changed its mind, and if you take us out with no deal then you will be destroyed as a political force for a generation. Even with a deal the Tories are going to be eviscerated.

Boris Johnson is the first to answer the first question. He says: "We must come out on the 31 October, otherwise we face a catastrophic loss of confidence in politics.HYUFD said:
He did at the very beginningnoneoftheabove said:
Maybe a different version being broadcast here but on my tv Boris did not commit to leave by October 31st, used virtually the same words as May did about March 31st.HYUFD said:Clear divisions emerging here, Boris and Saj both committing to leave on October 31st and to continue to prepare for No Deal even if aiming for a Deal and orderly Brexit.
Gove and Hunt prepared to extend a little more to get a Deal but will leave with No Deal as a last resort.
Rory says he would take No Deal off the table, Hunt says that means he would be willing to 'Stop Brexit'
Exactly what May said about March, without actually saying he would definitely no deal on October 31. Listening to him he is not going to no deal, which is a relief.
You do realise that you’re taking an awful lot for granted here, including the electorate. They don’t like that.
Boris will unite the Tories behind delivering Brexit Deal or No Deal and the BP will fade while the Labour party rips itself apart over EUref 2 and continues to see a flood of Remainers to the LDs and Greens0 -
Boris's handlers have told him to not explicitly make any definite commitments at all, and he's actually managing to stay on message thus far.0

I'm not defending Osborne by any means, but borrowing more, now, before the next recession hits would be the most irresponsible fiscal act by any British government that I can think of.another_richard said:
I'd prefer a government which was honest about its borrowing than one which claimed it was 'paying down the debt' when doing the opposite.OblitusSumMe said:
Sure, but he at least claimed he wanted to borrow less. Javid's not likely to improve that record starting out with a view that he's comfortable increasing the national debt even further.another_richard said:
Do you know how much Osborne borrowed ?OblitusSumMe said:Javid: "The country can afford to borrow more."
Corbyn cheers, Osborne jeers. Or tears.0 -
Hunt and Gove doing well. Boris not especially strong tonight but no howlers. The other 2 are non runners.0

Much improved by Gove compared to Sunday. Less grandstanding and comes across much better.numbertwelve said:So far I think Gove has been the best. Javid also strong. Rory has been a bit of a mixed bag. Boris waffling but not really sinking his position as the favourite. Hunt OK.

Scores On The Doors :
Javid -7 - Assured performance
Rory - 6 - Some good points but not a polished performance
Gove - 5.5 - Good on detail but tends to gabble. The stare was back.
Hunt - 5 - Patchy. Flat early on. Improved.
Boris - 4 - Weaknesses clearly on show.
Format didn't help any candidate.
