Me and my wife watched the C4 leadership debate, and the mrs has no interest in politics or any horse in the race so to speak.....but she felt Lisa Nandy was by far the most comfortable in that style of debate and i had to agree. She performed well.

Starmer isn't very charismatic or even a particularly good speaker, but he is a 'safe pair of hands' and you can tell he really had thought his responses through.

RLB came across as quite a warm person, was relaxed and confident but she would be torn apart by the tory machine

The problem Labour have at the minute is the arguments on self ID. Lisa Nandy's comments the other day at a hustings and RLB's comments on the Marr Show on Sunday have upset female members and potential voters.
