@owenjonesjourno Think we need to take a longer term view. Firstly every government does its unpopular stuff in its first year or two in office. Secondly the claim is that it needs to be done to sort the mess our country is in and signs this is happening later in the term.

@owenjonesjourno Also, like her or loathe her, Thatcher was very unpopular, even within her own party, in her early days and she stuck around for ages.

This has been the worst England performance since the Denmark game

@The_ChrisShaw @BethRigby Really? I thought Sunak came over as rude and desperate. Think the format favoured Sunak who just wanted to repeat his made up numbers versus Starmer who wanted to explain in detail. Thought it was awfully chaired.

@BethRigby As someone who now loathes the Tory Party, I felt much to my disappointment that Starmer came across as uncertain and shifty. Sunak was the more convincing and agile performer.

Much more bad-tempered than I expected #ITVdebate Starmer bogged down with detail & took too long to reject Tory attacks - esp tax claims - as "garbage" and didn't spell out own plans, but was more empathetic. Sunak was punchy and a bit smug, but landed more blows, particularly on tax and Labour's plans for future. "We've heard a lot about change from him. A change to what?"

@PippaCrerar Starmer came across as tetchy and feeling that he shouldn't have to be subjected to this. He should have won, easily, and instead seriously under-performed.

@jjaron It’s the standard trick of the government giving a load of policies for the treasury to cost up. But they are policies the government’thinks’ the opposition will introduce rather than being based on reality

Can someone explain the £2000 tax rise? I assume it's an average, not a flat increase, that Sunak is claiming?

The worst prime ministerial launch of an election campaign in modern times. Even PMs doomed to defeat have managed to start the gun with a sense of elegant purpose. Speaking words that failed to compel in a Lear like storm has no precedent.
