The Conservative minister MP Mike Penning gets on well with Dee White as he is working class.

Actually it was spoiled for me by Richard Bacon, he really was terrible at keeping it flowing and keeping to the point too.
He was particularly rude to Owen Jones who had to tell him at one point to let him finish what he was saying.

Little was learned from it or achieved by it in my view, I preferred the one with Matthew Wright a couple of weeks ago.
There is little point in having these things if they are not going to stick to the facts.
For me Owen Jones and Chris Bryant gave a really good account of themselves and in all truth I am actually too getting a little tired of Dee as well.

A pity we didn't hear from many more of the general audience rather than constantly being taken back to Dee for her comments on whatever was said.
I watched it right through.it should have been really good with the people included on it but I found it almost a turn off due to really bad presenting from Richard Bacon.

Yes rushed due to ads
Ch4 should have gone brave
and done a 2 Hour Live Debate.
