Will Farage have a bitch about the loud right wingers in the audience?

Slight tangent, but I remember a fair few years back now Virgin brought in unlimited annual leave for a large bulk of staff and found productivity increased.

Sad though it is, that seems to be a popular catchphrase.

Plenty on social media saying that Etchingham is a lefty because she keeps cutting Johnson off.

Wish Corbyn had said he'd leave a pork pie for Tubby

Know a couple of people who have moved overseas. One to Norway and one to Sweden. Both now work 4 days weeks and say the same, productivity has increased. They also say they have far more flexibility over the hours they work, working from home etc which has led to a big improvement in quality of life and mental health.

lol despite the grotesque bias against Johnson he flattened him

Let's be honest G even if Johnson had shat himself on the stage and smeared it over his face you'd be calling it in his favour. She even made a dig at Corbyn about spending to pacify the gammon crowd

When you get Joe Bloggs booing someone for wanting them to work less, you know you've got them properly hoodwinked.

Cheap comment as usual,Dont bother if you have nothing constructive to say.You’ve obviously never lived under a socialist government as you always say Blair was not a socialist government.
Be careful what you wish for,The last lot nearly bankrupted us.

Happy people are productive people. Just look at the Scandinavian countries. They typically have a shorter working week, more holiday, more public holidays, longer maternity leave, longer paternity leave, strict lunch and breaks etc. Does it mean that have 3 day weekend? No. Does it mean that they work a significant less number of hours over a year than us that would equate to a number of less days? Yes. Productivity in Scandinavia is amongst the highest in the world, Norway is No 2, Denmark is No 4 and Iceland is No 5. Luxembourg is top with 25 days holiday a year plus national holidays, Max 40 hour working week by law etc etc.

Presenter was cutting Alexander off more, but he was continuing for longer (although Corbyn did it himself a few times) and it was pointless letting him continue because he just started going back to the one point of Brexit.
Crowd had elements supporting both but seemed more trying to heckle over Corbyn.
With the personal ethics I'm sure Corbyn was biting his tongue.
Dunno if it was just me but did anyone notice that Alexander struggled or didn't repeat the names when the questioners from the audience were from ethnic minority backgrounds?
IMO Corbyn came across as more prepared and calmer.
In a fight, it'd have been a bore with loads of trash talk but no real blows, with Corbyn getting it on points.

Audience should be made up of undecided voters. Genuinely don’t see the point in having party members there to act like football fans in order to try and sway viewer opinion.

I work in state education. Tell me why I should vote Tory, based on their decade in office. You want to talk cheap comments, look at that fat prick's recycling of debunked 2015 talking points and pledges to restore the police his government took away.

Tory press office changing their official twitter handle to ‘fact check UK’ during the debate is a fucking disgrace.

Corbyn would garner lots more support from the likes of me if he just stated his position on Brexit. He wants to leave the EU because it's a capitalist vehicle. I don't even want to get into the ins and outs of it, but just honestly answer the fucking question. Even though it doesn't align with my views. It would gain a touch more respect.

They are the party of cheap tricks, have been since Cameron. At least that prick fell on his sword.

I would gladly sacrifice a few weeks of annual holiday in exchange for that.

Agreed on that, it was his weakest part of the debate. He can't say he'd campaign against his own deal...

The country has been given a referendum by proxy 9 months after May's deal was first rejected. It could have had a real one in 6 and moved on to the next stage. Only you can present that as a triumph

He would, but he and his advisors also know that if he says Remain he stands to lose candidates in urban Labour seats votes, which could be crucial. If he stands for Leave he stands to alienate others. Staying quiet he annoys some people from both sides by sitting on the fence. Whatever he does it will cost him in some way and I guess from polling data the advisors have told him the way to lose the least votes is to stay quite non-committal.
How that will fare for him at the ballot box will have to be seen.
But one thing we know for sure is Alexander intends this to be about Brexit and will do his best to deflect back onto that at every opportunity. IMO not how a GE should be.

Wasn't just a name change either, completely rebranded.
