The Guardian reported this morning that the 5 winners of the debate were:-
Wait for it......
Rebbecca Wrong-Daily, Jo Swineson, Caroline Lucas, Nicola Sturgeon, and Adam Price.
And the losers were:-
Surprise surprise, Rushi Sunak and Richard Tice.
Now we have established no bias at the leftie Guardian, we'll move onto reality.
Generally you determine winners by audience reaction, and of course Labour's fence sitting Brexit position got an incredibly big laugh. The Conservative Brexit position was applauded by the majority of the audience.
On the economy, the same was true again, the audience didn't believe Labour's spending plans and it appeared to be largely behind the Conservative position.
So on the big two issues of the day, Brexit and the economy, the Tories certainly won.
Equally importantly, Richard Tice took on wee Mrs Krankie on quite a few issues and put her back in her box, Swinson was pretty much the same as ever, ineffectual and the rest aren't likely to have more than 5 MP's between them.
To me, its pretty clear that the Conservatives won on the major issues and Rushi Sunak was a polished performer, he didn't bit on jibes and had coherent answers.
For me, another hurdle done
