@richard_thomson @netflix Thankfully was a bit better for the Tyson Paul fight than the undercard

@richard_thomson @netflix Check the comments on x, huge amount of people struggling

I see @netflix attempt to stream live sport is an abject failure

@richard_thomson @netflix Constant buffering and freezing

@AdrianNewton @netflix Not impressed, mate!?

@PaulCTayla A truly massive one

What a weapon

@LeeJDempster Edu looking pretty involved in his signing….

@deathofbuckley My 5 year old loves a bit of Das Kapital before bed.

@owenjonesjourno Would undoubtedly have a positive impact on his standing.

@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.

Keir Starmer is set to become one of the most unpopular prime ministers in British history.

@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.

@onthemoon69 @paulhanafin @lizslayed I think he meant went up by 35% rather than to 35%

@FootballJOE Also the best…

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.

BREAK: YouGov snap poll, who performed better Sunak 51 per cent Starmer 49 per cent

@joefd @PippaCrerar Interesting juxtaposition on my X feed

@PippaCrerar Thought Starmer was calm and authentic, less wooden than usual; Sunak tetchy and desperate.

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?"

@JMooreSalford @PippaCrerar Interesting juxtaposition on my X feed

@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.

@JMooreSalford @PippaCrerar

@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?

@ramthelinefeed @strange_geoff @steverichards14 Beat me to it!

@strange_geoff @steverichards14 I'VE CALLED AN ELECTION BY MISTAKE

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.

@strange_geoff @steverichards14 "I think I announced an election by mistake"
