Corbyn and Sm*th are debating in front of a studio audience today on the Victoria Derbyshire programme on BeebNews (09-00 - 11-00)
I can't face it. It's going to be kind of like what happens when the keeper of an away team takes a goal kick in front of the home end. Two hours of Smith agreeing with everything JC proposes but with "you're shit .... aaaah" as a caveat.

Watching, but yup, cringefest. Vetted audience divided into blocks. Anti JC block seems to have been selected by being asked how loud they can go 'WHOOOO!!' Derbyshire, who I do not like, showed Corbyn a pic of Ant and Dec, who he did not recognise, and then she told him they were supporters. Then she asked him how many medals Wiggins had won, which he got wrong, as apparently he had in a tweet, and then she asked him if he did hid his tweets or did someone else. Obviously he is a Bad Person... doubltless Derbyshire is being fed stuff through that earpiece. Interesting to see what soundbites turn up on the Beebnews later. The 'undecided' audience section has just been asked, if they had made a view, to move to the pro or anti Corbyn block: they have overwhelmingly moved to pro JC.

I can't stand Owen Smith.
Has he really had a charisma bypass?

What makes him more competent than Corbyn?
His ability to invent roles for Corbyn in a nonexistent party lineup that hopefully will never even begin to be.

Hope that Corbyn does not extend an invitation to the front bench to him. But I guess he would need to appease the supporters. Would he?
