I don’t think funding is increasing at the same rate as costs are increasing.

So you’re getting less bangs for your bucks.

Like most workers in the UK then? Everyone is getting squeezed. 

How do I burn the country down?

Corbyn did very well. He was given an absurdly hostile opening, wasn't rattled, and fort into the things he believes in. Also put his Brexit position sensibly. Good performance. But he's Corbyn so he did slightly worse than Satan.

Sturgeon has an easier ride because fundamentally she's a one policy entity. She's a good politician though and genuine. You can tell she's being straight with people, with her beliefs and policies. Did well.

Swinson...

Johnson looked like absolute arse gravy and that's all that dribbled out of his mouth. He only has his soundbites, and his lies. He is hopelessly bad at dealing with his past. And you'd have to be very charitable to say he's even vaguely trustworthy. He's so obviously a snake his untrustworthiness is clownish.

Genuine question but isn't NHS funding constantly increased every year? So if that is the case why is the NHS in such a mess?

My spend in the pub increases every year but I don’t get as much beer for it.

Fiona Bruce’s delivery of “bum boys” was definitely the highlight

Agonised for a while about that one, because I also love the alternative (which is now a kind of free bonus!):

Matt Hancock on the BBC follow up show, being a word removed.

Jo Swinson was on when I was flicking through channels. I didn’t listen to her but My only thought was would I?  
 

Then I though whats wrong with me?? Now I’m going to bed.

I’ve not watched the debate, but on the NHS funding issues - I used to work in the civil service doing some valuation for PFIs and it’s absolutely criminal the increases of total spending that are going towards it year on year. Make no mistake, this has ramped up massively since the coalition.

Most depressingly people love to buy into the ‘but Blair’s government started them’ narrative (actually Major if I understand correctly). It’s easy for a lot of the Conservative voters to just shout about Blair with no knowledge about how much this shite is increasing year on year.

Can we now call her Swansong?

I came out of that wishing I could vote for an SNP government. 

Speaking as someone who can, I wouldn't.
