I didn’t see any pinned or stickied posts so here’s one for the shit posting political discussion.

    In a post-Trump, post-Brexit, post-Johnson world, I thought journalists had gotten better at calling out direct lies. Yet the moderator allowed Sunak repeatedly to lie about Labour’s tax plans and to lie that the Treasury backed those figures. Just outrageous.

      To be fair, so did Starmer.

      I agree the moderator had a hard time getting anything of basic value from either candidate. But I wouldn’t go so far as to say she encouraged Sunak’s lies. She just wanted to get it over with.
