It's why he didn't want to go head to head with Miliband. One thing that struck me about the Paxman interview was the squirming body language when Paxman pushed him on food banks and anything else he found difficult.


I think here Cameron comes accross as a broken record, and lacks any charisma whatsoever (the only good news for him is that he's not the only one).

True - it is pretty much a blandathon.


Also wondering if this is the Loose Women studio (although the set-up and music is very much "Going For Gold") and they've left the audience protocols and cues in place which would explain the bursts of applause before and after breaks (which seem very weird in this context).


Or is it more Pavlovian? Do some people (the kind who would willingly be in a tv studio audience for... anything) on hearing the words "We'll be back after this break" applaud like demented sea lions without even being aware of it?

Well, Farage did....

He (Farridge) always comes across well in shit like this because it's so shallow.


Milliband missed a trick by just trying to say the words Prime Minister a lot in the hope people would associate him with the post - I think he got that from an old Shredded Wheat campaign.


Green person was stupid, Scots extremist was bitter, Clegg was begging for "same again please", Cameron hid and yep - I'd still vote Plaid Cymru.

Sturgeon and Farage played the game the best. Farage especially knows how to make punchline points very quickly and that was really effective given the totally random format. Sturgeon was also quite concise and got good points over.


Clegg had a curious line to tread, having to back the government, yet separate himself from it. And didn't do too bad a job. But not too memorable, either.


Miliband really didn't do well with the format. Failed to really land any blows on Cameron - and got rather shown up by Sturgeon in particular. I think the same person who taught Gordon Brown to smile (shudder) taught Ed to look weirdly into the camera.


Cameron didn't have a great night, as expected, but landed a great punch on Miliband over zero-hours contracts. But generally seemed to be content with damage limitation.


Still thought Plaid Cymru lady looked asleep (and ladida needs his eyesight checked!). Made a few decent points, but sounded the least sure in what she was saying.


Green Natalie had a bit of a shocker. All over the shop. She is no Caroline Lucas (who would have been very good in this format).

I thought Farage made a lot of sense in the answers he gave and i for one was impressed.The scots rep kept guiet on the subject of student fees and free prescriptions, no wonder she could crow about her health care. As for Nick cleg, didnt mention how he vetoed cancer drugs for some patients.

David Cameron, looked non plussed when guestioned about immigration and europe. The green party woman was boring, the plaid cuymbri needed go faster batteries. Dave Milliband zoomed in on the camera just like gromet.it was not a good debate at all. Too in favour of the boring three,.I predict the people will realise any goverment voted in will only be a small muted branch of the mighty german gaelic dictatorship. I,mwith NIGEL FARAGE, all the way,

u.k.i.p is agenuine political party whose title means they want to leave the e.u.as a lot of people do.

to keep waving the old racist bigot card is ignorant, it wont stop people voting the days of politacal correctness are done .

The line must be drawn and common sense will prevail

Farage islikened to John the Baptist,the voice in the wilderness.

The e.u doesnt work who doth the bell toll for, the e.u.

Echo from my past posts, We are full up. Now true. OLD people turfed out of houses for larger familes Now true.bedroom tax to make people move by furitive blackmail.Now true. INFRASTRUCTURE COLLAPSING all over now true. Ghetto buildigs in Green east dulwich on every bit of space, Gardens for instance. Property value will plummet till someone stops thesoutwark planning department.

racism bigots so outmoded when overcrowding and self rule are the most important issues thing to fight for.

Hahahaha...he was, super nasal. That and the strange staring into camera was a bit odd. You knew that he had had Leadership training all week! His bits just made me laugh because he got it so horribly wrong. Cringey Mili! I have no clue about anything he said because I couldn't get past the weird behaviour.

SNP will not go into formal coalition. They would support Labour when they feel like it, which would make Miliband's premiership almost impossible and we'll be back at the polls within a year.

    • Wanted 2 x Adult and 1 x Children tickets for Dulwich fireworks tonight please!
    • Labour have changed a number of things overnight.   1. VAT on school fees - this has resulted in 25,000 moving until state education. 2. Increasing NICs adding billions to the cost of going to work. 3. Introducing the Employment Rights Bill causing employers to stop hiring. This and item 2 have added 100,000 people to the unemployment scrapheap. These are also causing businesses to relocate further harming the economy. 4. Scrapping all the small boats deterrents meaning 60,000 illegal migrants have arrived in small boats since they were elected. 5. Dishing out huge public sector payroses with no conditions so we have a massively increased payroll and doctors etc arestill going out on strike. 6.changed IHT and non domicile tax rules causing 16,500 millionaires to leave the UK and stop paying any tax here at all forever. 7. Alongside 6, leaving the budget up until an historically late period after the last budget has caused a house price crash, killing the market and decimating government stamp duty receipts. 8. Their profligate borrowing (£100bn extra in just one year) to fund all their lavish promises means the government can now only borrow at the highest ever yields on records. They are more beholden to the bond markets than Liz Truss was. 9. The rate of inflation has doubled under this government. It was a healthy 2% when they came in. For most of the last year, as a result of all of the above it is now nearly 4%.   These are all decisions the Labour government took that have immediate cause and effect.  Its no good harking back to 15 years ago. The current administration was gifted the fastest growing economy in the G7 and within 15 months they have destroyed it.    And things are only going to get worse this winter.      
    • I use Autocar Repair in West Dulwich.. been using them for over 20 years. Excellent service… 
    • A lot to agree with here - don’t get me started on Irish people complaining about immigration! - but that final paragraph is once again a cop out  there’s a lot of extreme right wing money stirring up the division that people are feeling - but there is zero excuse for handing power to these people. We live in a democracy and if we have enough people willing to give it up then judging those people foolish enough to do so is not only something that will happen, it is something that the rest of us should be morally compelled to do  if someone wouldn’t “normally” vote for a racist party yet somehow will do so because they hear someone like me saying that would be bad, then you better believe I’m judging them
