Given its an area that seemed set up to hammer Johnson, he came away from it relatively unscathed.

Johnson is really not good at talking about anything but Brexit, he hasn't got a clue what's going on in society and the struggles working people face after 10 years of a conservative government.
Corbyn and the team advising him should have him on toast in these debates, but they didn't last night, I think Corbyn shaded it but he needs to do better than that to turn the polls round.

It may be intentional. If he attacked BJ from the off, before demonstrating to the public that he's actually human, it could more easily be dismissed.
I wouldn't trust the pair of them as far as I could throw them mate.

Because both parties are having a contest to see how much they can saturate the public. I notice that Labour still haven’t shared their grand idea on how they plan to generate £6bn in tax from internet companies, equivalent to £1200 per user in the UK, which apparently was coming out over last weekend...
So as much as the Tories pretend they aren’t damaging the country, it’s hard to get behind a party that has such distain for voters that want to know things like ‘where is the money coming from? Will this impact my future?’

Johnson is there for the taking, there were several opportunities last night for Corbyn and he was too nicey nicey, the public want to see him be strong and really give it to Johnson.
The Tories record in government is appalling the last 9 years, 41,000 food parcels when they came into office is now 1.6m given out by food banks last year, there is lots to attack them on, Corbyn didn't last night.
I feel pretty despondent today. This government is the most corrupt and devious I've known and the thought of 5 more years of them after the vandalism they've wreaked over the last 9 years makes me feel like weeping. They have treated the public and our institutions with utter contempt, trampled and smashed them, and people are still going to vote them back in.
I wish I had the wherewithal to GTFO of here, I really do. I don't recognise this country anymore.

Says it all really about clairvoyant YouGov.
"YouGov was founded in the UK in May 2000 by Stephan Shakespeare and future MP Nadhim Zahawi, at the time both active in the British Conservative Party. In 2001 they engaged BBC political analyst Peter Kellner, who became chairman, and then from 2007–2016, President.[3][4]"

How much did these scum bags get away with before the internet?
That's what I mean by it being ridiculous. Not what Corbyn said but the coverage of it.
....yep, i don’t think he’s got the brain power to think on his feet and score big hits.
When Johnson said no Tory leader would open the NHS to the US, Corbyn should’ve retorted; “but you told the DUP Conference no British Prime Minister would allow a border down the Irish Sea”.
Johnson is all about power. He’ll say anything to anybody if it results in him gaining power. Just a shame Labour continues to elect leaders like Corbyn over Burnham.
