This lady is awful, well spoken drivel

Angela demonstrates exactly what is the problem with the party.... still trying blindly to defend the party instead of fixing the issues.

Penny mordant was awful yesterday. Also the sooner the tories are out of power the better

Mrs Twin Set and pearls looks like a typical Tory shill.

What an accolade, a worse PM than the wet lettuce 😂😂😂

The snobbery here is off the scale

Both Sunak and Truss were tasked with bringing down the Tories.

Sunak was the best that the Tories could come up with. Enjoy. 😊

Penny Mordaunt 'did well'? She came across like a sadistic public school Head Girl. Failed to connect with the audience at all - or the television audience according to the post debate polls.

If Johnson was the buffoon, then Sunak is the blithering.

What Sunak did shows lack of judgment and damaged him and his party in the eyes of the nation but what Truss did did all of that but also made people materially poorer because the vast majority of us rely on low interest rates to manage.

What a barking mad car crash the woman supportive of the Tories is - does she hear herself out loud?

Rishi Sunak is a disgrace leaving the D-Day 80th Anniversary early.

Angela. How very rude. "That chap" from Wales is Rhun ap Iorwerth. For goodness sake have the respect to pronounce his name correctly. They are not Welsh Nationalists he represents Plaid Cymru, The Party of Wales.

Truss was an economic car crash, no way could she stay in office

Does the old cow not realise...THEY have been IN POWER for FOURTEEN YEARS??? "Poor Richie took over at a tough time" she said. WHO CAUSED THOSE TOUGH TIMES?!!

I’ve been saying this - he’s politically inept. With the new ULEZ stuff, I’m convinced he has hired Susan Hall to run the campaign. Would explain all the gaffes as well.

Can we please challenge the normalising of laughing about not being able to pronounce someone from these islands' name? Welsh is a language far older than English and has been on these islands since before the Romans. If you can't be bothered to learn how to say someone's name, maybe keep that to yourself rather than laugh about the name being "unpronounceable". The Welsh alphabet, as it happens, is phonetic so if you bother to learn how to pronounce the letters, you'll be able to pronounce any Welsh word that comes your way.

Sunak, a former financial gambler, has put a £1m spread bet on the Conservatives to win 50-100 seats…..

When Theresa May was in power, I thought she was the worst Prime Minister in living memory. What I can't believe now is that she's not even in the top three and looks almost Churchillian in comparison to her successors.

It’s how you say sorry that’s important too. I can’t count what he said as an apology when he minimised and told us, the injured how we should move on. This is the definition of insult to injury.

Not sure why I expected better, but that lady was rude about the Welsh just because they have a different language that she struggles with.

He's said sorry, but he hasn't said it in a way that remotely suggested he meant it.

How condescending. Learn and pronounce his name. You are supposed to be an educated woman. Would you have said the same thing, in the same tone if he had a 'hard to pronounce' Asian name?

Jesus, doesn't that just epitomise the contempt with which the Tories hold other countries - couldn't be bothered to try and learn Rhun ap Iorwerth's name then proceeded to insult Wales by calling it unpronouncable. John Redwood in pearls...

A worse prime minister, than the prime minister, who was worse, than a lettuce ! 😂😂😂

If it had been Kier Starmer who had left early, this woman would be having an apoplectic fit. She would be foaming at the mouth and calling for his resignation. Yet again is reduced to ‘what aboutism’ regarding Dianne Abbott (btw Penny Mourdant did a 💩 job. She just talked over everyone)

Liz Truss would've rolled in on a tank.

‘Sunak has performed pretty well’…..are we living in an alternative universe

Out of touch Angela Knight, you don't understand the younger generation, they'll have clocked this.

Angela Knight! Wasn’t she the one defending the banking industry during the credit crunch?

Lazy, condescending arrogance from the Tory - they just don't get it, do they?

She is trying to excuse his behaviour because Sunaks generation didn’t have fathers who fought so don’t treat it as seriously? No we didn’t, but we have parents who have spoken about how the war and its aftermath impacted their youth. We also had grandfathers who spoke about their experiences or were not around due to their sacrifice during WW2. Many of my generation still care deeply about our grandfathers and great grandfathers who served in WW1 and WW2 and understand the sacrifices and horrors they endured. She comes across as belittling and out of touch

Sorry simply doesn't cut it and generation is just nonsense. D-Day is beyond important and will continue to be forever!.. patronising guff!

Who is that woman? Presenters, please keep a lid on the lies. Abbott was not offered a peerage

Two more out of touch guests is hard to imagine

Vote out to help out. 14 years of decline. Time to change vote Labour 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅

It makes me want to pull my hair out when I hear Tories say the NHS needs reform because the reason for it is the damage they have done to the NHS themselves.

What has problems did Sunak resolve ? NHS waiting lists ? Small boats ? The economy? Potholes? Sewage in our rivers? Brexit? HS 2 ? Tories and Sunak have completely failed us . Sunak also has a bad temper and bad manners.

There is no way anyone is worse than liz truss

He has money - that is all it takes, folks. One, there was Truss, Sunak and Johnson in same government.

I was disgusted last night at Penny Mordaunt. i had always thought she would be a great PM. I had never liked Angela Reynor thinking she was a loud mouthed yob if I am honest. The reverse played out during this debate. Shouting people down, talking over them and wagging fingers in their face is NOT what I expect from my party. In contrast, Reynor was way more measured. As was Nigel Farage. Today I have made the decision to switch to Reform. The fact Tories seem to think she did well tells me I dont want to be part of that party anymore. Being rude and behaving badly isn't excused in my book by a cut glass accent. VOTE REFORM.

Labour are in the door, that's fairly likely. Farage won the debate. Even with a bbc selected venue and crowd. Who did ask fair questions. Presenter usual bbc condescending fodder in which they have a vast number to choose from.

The Tories have offered up a string of duffer's and the bottom of the barrel can only be scraped for so long. Sadly, British Politics as a whole is the low calibre tripe pile We're all at the mercy of. What are people now voting for other than their choice of least worst?

As always, it's not what they say that matters, but what they don't say. When Angela Knight talked about parties that might do well, she carefully avoided the Lib Dems. Why? Electoralcalculus are predicting 61 seats for the Lib Dems on 9.7% of the vote and zero for Reform on 13.8%. While that might be too optimistic for the Lib Dems, many experts, and privately many Tory MPs, expert the Lib Dems to take a significant number of Tory seats. The Tories fear Ed Davey far more than Nigel Farage, which is why they never mention him.

Christ almighty, yes it was a mistake to miss the D-Day event with the world leaders. Terrible judgement. But this is far far far from the disaster that was Lizz Truss.

Lol changing the tory leader now would only work if they have someone better than Rishi but they don't, he's the best of them lol! What planet are they on if they think Mordant did well? A cardboard cut-out playing Tory talking points on repeat would have done the same thing.

Your absolutely correct, is no contest, frighteningly the worst ever !! If they lose to the extent is expected Sunak has to go down at the greatest failure of all time.

Anyone who was part of Johnson's government is part of the overall problem. Just because we have a new Prime Minister, in fact, we've had three of them in just a single parliamentary term, doesn't change the fact that the government is still the same one elected in 2019, and is the same overall government in terms of ideology since 2010. Starmer might be a bit lame, but he has a legitimate point when he says we need to turn the page. If we hand the conservatives another term, then frankly, I've lost all faith in this country because talk about self destructive behavior. Thankfully all the signs currently suggest the tories are in for an absolute drumming, and I am looking forward to it.

Angela Knight, yes, we all remember her for her cronyism towards the Banks when she worked for their industry body. Why does TR have these people on here

Lead the country? - Ritchie Sunak couldn't lead starving kittens to a bowl of milk.

Nonsense, bunny.

Sunak should resign and let Penny M take over

Did she call Penny Mordaunt Caroline Dinenage?

It is also time to tell the truth and apologise for lying in order to deceive people who are probably not very politically savvy.

Nonsense Jim; Truss would've left just as early if the choice was between honoring fallen heroes, or incompetently trying to further her political career... and even if she did end up staying longer, it would only be because she believed the first part was all about the second part. 😂

Please, please, please replace Rishi with Penny Mordaunt. RIsh's never going to lose his seat, but Mordaunt's in real trouble and raises the real possibility of the sitting Tory leader losing their seat. That would be Portillo to the max...

We told the Con Party he was worse but the pathetic low life MP's went ahead and ejected the better one (Liz) and replaced with the flawed Rishi Sunak. Hope they are happy to lose their seats?

Diane Abacus in the House of Lords 🤣🤣🤣 That’s so absurd…but I can see Starmer doing it 🤣

Problem is as Einstein put it, nobody with integrity would enter politics, hence the job attracts unscrupulous and narcissistic profiles, who of course rely on your vote to have you to blame, its a loose loose situation for the voters and s win win win for the politicians.

The lettuce breathes a sigh of relief 😂

Shame that the discussion descended into Party points scoring having started quite sensibly. Seems like second nature for politicians to defend the indefensible when their side get criticised. Equal fault really. Shame.

I have always voted Conservative. I have been telling them from Rishi Sunak downwards to my local MP for many months that they are going to I get hammered unless they apologise for their incompetence and start asking the right Qs and answering them. All their eyes just glaze over. It’s like you are talking to a cult member. They cannot engage in the issues and what has gone very badly wrong. Reform could not organise a government or an opposition. But they are asking the difficult Qs regardless whether you agree with their answers or not….

The D-Day issue was terribly judged/advised. It speaks for itself. However. Irrespective of whether Labour will or will not raise taxed by £2000 over five years, Rishi Sunak told a palpable lie. He said the Treasury had signed off that figure when they had not. They then tried to fudge it by saying the figures were right and well researched and the Treasury had signed off a component. However, that has not gained cut through. I wonder why.

How to tell people that I am an spoil brat with no enpathy without tell them that...

D-Day Dodger Sunak Wants National Service. "We shall leave them on the beaches, we shall lie about taxes & if we are cross examined in a Public Enquiry about covid, partygate or brexit... we shall never remember"

I honestly thought that the woman speaking here was a man, until I noticed the pearl necklace.

Sunak & liz to 2 biggest flops of the all times

Some "mistakes" are so awful, so damning, that they cannot be forgiven....

Michel Hussain was terrible. She let Penny Maudant interrupt Rayner repeatedly, then stopped others from interrupting.

Liz truss at least tried to be somewhat of a conservative

Worse than a lettuce.

imagine losing to liz truss.. which he did

MoneyPenny Mordaunt looked like she had been crying before the Debate started .Her eyes looked glazed . I can understand her distress. Her boss may have lost her chance to hold on to get seat with two major blunders , if not three !

Sunak is so callous, shows no compassion for anyone. He is really letting down the sickest, most disabled people at the moment and then when he left the D-Day earlier that says it all. He suppose to be on his best behaviour at the moment so we want to elect the tories and it is impossible for him to behave. He seems like Mr Bean, he just can't help himself.

I'm 77 years old and Johnson, Truss and Sunak are the three worst Prime Ministers of my lifetime.

Sunak has been bad at most things apart from Disaster Capitalism, ask RBS.

Nothing but insults from Knight there. Shameful.

My theory is that it was part of the deal that Cameron would get to play statesman at the D Day commemoration

"A proper conservative" to replace Sunak...yeah, good luck with that, Tories lol. I can just see the campaign slogans now.

There was one that had an effect, the "I agree with Nick' debate all those years ago. I also think it captures at least some interest of people who aren't like me in that I read two newspapers a day. One leftwing and one rightwing.

Just to let you know , either times radio or youtube are deleting my comment praising Sunaks actions , cant explain any further they would delete it.

Who advised him ?????????

Look how uncomfortable the host looks when he says Sunak is worse than Truss. Typical Tory newspaper

I didn't think it was possible to be worse than Truss. lol.

Mishal Husain is a brilliant journalist, a shame she was saddled with these muppets.

I like to call him Rishi Sunk

No one is worse than Truss.

Saying that Rishi Sunak is worse than Liz Truss is a massive hot take indeed.

Boris, Liz, Rishi....Nigel? Are these the best from the UK?

Sunak doesn’t take D-day seriously because he’s not old…? What a moronic thing to think then say. Even if true, it’s all the more reason for the PM to stress its importance to the younger people by being the last one to leave. But it’s not true. It’s bull. This speaks as a privileged little boy with no particular direct personal or familial ties to military/defence history. If you get D-day wrong, what can you possibly get right?

Did Mordaunt do well? She just repeated the same old trash the Tories have been spouting for weeks now and which has been shown to be misleading and inaccurate. I think lying to the public and talking absolute nonsense is not doing well, it's shameful.

Not worse than Truss, just less popular.

No one can be worse that a lettuce fighter

He’s not worse than Truss.. but it’s close..

Bring Boris Back

Yup. he's worse... but that doesn't mean Truss gets any form of break... or Johnson.

Politicians need to get better mics for these interviews

Oh no he's not - to your headline. Liz Truss and Kwarteng completely trashed the economy with their silly self interested but ignorant ideas. Although not a constant Tory voter by any means, I happen to think Rishi Sunak just about saved Britain after the debacle of Truss and Kwarteng. My mortgage went up virtually overnight from £119 pcm to £300 to quickly £480 pcm...Shocking. On an income of OAP and circa £50 pcm...it has been a nightmare.

He did not get it wrong because of his generation, he got it wrong as Prime Minister of UK.
