I think you're missing the point a bit; caution should be the first response if they were fired at us, not eagerness for mutually assured destruction.

I get what you're saying, and you are right imo.

But there would be public pressure for Sunak/Starmer to retaliate with nuking the aggressor back, if we were to be attacked with a nuke ourselves.

No Brexit questions
a chance missed.

Sunak needed to win the opinion poll by a bigger margin, considering he appears to be far behind Starmer going into the debate.

[arista]

Sunak got his Starmer Ł2,000 Tax message across


I think both would put up Tax.
They have no choice


Martin Lewis co-presenting GMBHD itv
said that Ł2,000 Labour Tax message,
was made up from working it all out
so he thinks it is roughly correct.................

Only 15% of people bothered to watch the two comedians taking in turns to spout out ridiculous lies to their gullible supporters

Maybe everyone's happy with Brexit.

Regards the Starmer and Sunak debate, I thought Sunak came across as very aggressive.

Starmer a bit of a poodle.

That's why it takes a stronger person to not give in and pander to the crowd. Let's say it's Russia and we got "fortunate" as it landed down by Plymouth/Exeter, and we got away with the minimal amount of casualties for a nuke, the minute we fired back and their satellites detected our retaliation, they would send over enough to just wipe us out. Because they aren't used, I feel like the power of nukes can seem a bit abstract.

Jeremy was right to show caution when being pressed on this issue during his time as leader, and it is only candidates who are weak (regardless of political persuasion) that need to act as though they're ready to destroy the world to appease the Galahads.

Wonder why Ed Davey hasn't done this.
Also Oliver Dowden the deputy PM of the Cons.

I'm actually not keen at all on the new Plaid leader nor Carla Denyer from the Green party.

I'm not surprised and am even pleased to see Nigel Farage on actually.
I think he'll take out Penny Mordaunt if she starts hailing the Con record in government particularly on immigration.

So may be worth looking in on.
After the leaders farcical debate though with only 2 of them and that really inept and terrible presenter.on that one.
Let's hope the BBC organise this one much better as to controlling it.

As much as I dislike him, really Galloway maybe should have been included too.
In the interests of political fairness .

That's a good and fair point, that I agree with. Not a fan of him or his party, but fairness should be followed.

The greens are also being left out of debates, and this is also wrong.

That is Fair
they were kicked out of power in Scotland

[MTVN]

Galloway on there would be great television

Don't mean to be rude to Wales but Plaid are not exactly relevant for anyone outside of there
