Round 2 was pretty revealing
Corbyn - looking more assured and has put a fairly reasonable position forwards on Brexit. Portrayed himself as the adult in the room and largely managed it.
Sturgeon - spoke well and dismissed
the tories out of hand. Seems to think that she’ll hold the balance of power if labour get close. But that’s only if labour get close. And she’ll have to negotiate.
Swinson - our of her depth and she knows it. Was like watching a sixth former. The liberals are going down in flames and she knows it.
Johnson - looked nervous and was clearly rattled. Refused to apologise for some of his language in previous newspaper articles and was roundly derided at times by the audience.
Interesting week coming up. Corbyn’s position of neutrality on brexit is going to be important. The tories need to find a way to undermine it without publicising that it’s probably the only correct stance of a prime minister of the whole country. Johnson seems to be on the defensive and the issues with Russian involvement, that American bird, his ill considered language in his columns and the Tory approach to social media are not going to go away. That, combined with the Spector of a Labour/SNP ‘understanding’ of some kind, makes the next couple of weeks start to look pretty fruity!
