Tim Stanley and Paul Scully. What a pair. Emily Thornberry, being on the winning side, obviously can't lose and is quite happily spouting a load of inpenetrable verbiage.

I don't know. I'm not big on biscuits. Rich Tea, unless you've got a cheesy flavoured one.

A very odd performance from Tim Stanley, a lame defence of the government and Paterson that was 50% factually inaccurate and 50% a feeble attempt at emotional blackmail, then the rest would have had his mates at the Telegraph pulling their hair out. We all need to do our part in tackling climate change, private jets should be banned, racism is bad. What was he thinking?

As for Paul Scully, you'll have to excuse me but he sounds like a cockney market trader to my uneducated ear, like Greg Wallace had been to elocution lessons but given up after a week. He was pitiful and shameless. He brought up the death of David Amess and the death of Paterson's wife Rose in an utterly cynical attempt to tug at the audience/viewers heartstrings before compounding his frankly loathsome narrative by saying that criticism of the government fed a cynicism that all politicians were bad. He got laughed at quite rightly.

Emily Thornberry was (I thought) disappointingly subdued.

Caroline Lucas was the star of the show.

Paul Polman bless his heart had that Mitteleuropa accent that made him sound like a Seventies Bond villian.

No neither am I. I've still got some crackers someone gave me for my birthday in the cupboard, I'm sure they'll still be fine with a bit of gorgonzola smeared on them.

Yes - the fact that Paul Polman was appearing remotely added to his Bond Villain-ness.

I began to feel a bit sorry for Tim Stanley. At times I felt like a voyeur witnessing a Catholic priest losing his faith but not understanding that that was what was happening to him. Yes, Caroline Lucas came out the best.

Jellied eels, anyone?

Tim Stanley is religious, now I come to think of it.

I've no idea What Tim Stanley's religious preferences are, besides Conservatism, a 'free market' economy and having a nice man called Miguel oil his luscious locks while writing articles about how Miguel should be sent home because he's a spongeing foreign parasite.

"I've no idea What Tim Stanley's religious preferences are . . ."

Having looked at his Wikipedia entry, I'm not sure he has either. He's a Catholic at present.

This is the theme tune to the NZ film (What We Do In The Shadows) that you don't think much of.
