Bit hilarious how Corbyn gets a big applause all the time and Boris gets three people clapping alone in the middle of his answers.

After experiencing it a little you can really tell the difference between the genuine claps Corbyn mostly gets and the sparse but artificially loud ones Johnson mostly gets.

I don't know if I agree with that. I live in the north and people up here are utterly obsessed with Brexit. My friend works in the NHS is a seat that is predicted to switch from Labour to Tory this election and he says Brexit is the number one issue in his constituency and many of the constituencies around him.

Good, so do I.

Where I live, brexit is important too, but as soon as I ask what's just as important, the nhs is said without question. Among olds too. Then austerity.

People around my age, say 25-35 demographic, state the climate crisis and then brexit second.

Its no so cut and dry.

it's good to see corbyn give a robust liberal defense of public safety actually being improved by more human rights and rehabilitation

I'm amazed that "Get Brexit Done" hasn't turned into the "Strong and Stable" of 2017 pissing people off after hearing it time and again.

Shows he has no plan for anything other than Brexit.

"I don't want to draw unnecessary relations to the Labour Party".

That's been your whole goddamn plan for this election.

Johnson's answer to the lying question was dreadful. Don't think he could have answered it worse. Also Johnson just admitted that he didn't know that a British diplomat had resigned and no-one challenged him on it.

A British diplomat of 33 years who was in charge of Brexit and the USA resigns at the same time the hottest topic is the NHS sell-offs.

Johnson doesn't know who that is.

The only thing I can say about Corbyn is he comes across as tired/defeated.

Boris is a lying sack of shit, but seemed chirpy.

We're fucked.

Boris learning from his earlier mistakes and actually going over to talk to the audience like Corbyn, not just doing a runner.

That's what I mean, I sensed Corbyn is on edge/frustrated. No wonder, but it's not going to help him.

He answered properly and was the best leader easily, but "low energy".

This is the British public, I bet the poll says Boris "won".

Not the Boris/Tory car-crash one would hope for in the last debate.

Fellow northerner here, and I can vouch for what you're saying.

It's pretty much a single issue election for a lot of people up here in the North, and they've bought the tabloid line about the EU being responsible for all our woes hook, line and sinker.

It never ceases to amaze me how gullible and easily manipulated some people are to the extent that they will vote against their own best interests.
