What a shambles. I'm attending the London Hustings and they'll have to gfo through this whole shit again. Jeez.

The rest of it wasn't much better. Sunak was the consummate politician with all the high level answers but little detail. Truss was the "people's candidate". She didn't actually falter and judging by audience reaction, may just have had the better of it.
