Dont bother making it easy. Just because your leader was stupid there little need for Boris to follow suit.

Aye and Johnson is not looking scared stupid.;) People finally seeing him for what he really is.
Tory's hiding all their 'big hitters' like Gove and Rees-Mog because they know the more the public see of them the less likely they are to vote Tory Sad state of affairs.

Stop making desperately poor deflected excuses for Johnson's behaviour, he is just frightened of not being able to give honest answers Neil's questions.

I'm not in the least bit interested in making excuses for anyone. Johnson doesnt have to be interviewed by AN and I dont see anyone switching their allegiance to another party in protest that he hasn't. As before, your leader tried it and looked a complete wassock- are you going to switch your vote as a result?

...and when the Treasury analysis is found to be valid and that Johnson is telling lies...? No doubt some will still find some 'whatabootery' to try and deflect, and find some excuses for the charlatan...it's utterly depressing...

You seem rather certain about that, have you been given a preview? It's probably another damp squid just like the last attempt that failed spectacularly. Lets see shall we ?

That’s pretty damming, but not a surprise.

It’ll spun and denied, then deflected on to every other party probably under the excuse that the HoC’s have delayed the will of the people blah blah blah for 3 years etc.

Not really helping your argument.. billionaires leaving because they are going to have to stop taking money for nothing? Boo hoo they have made excessive profit and avoided paying tax, who cares if they leave they still have UK operations which can be targeted.

If JC were to come up with the surprise of the century and win the GE he'd certainly care as his funding for the spending plans come from those very billionaires, and Andrew Neil pointed out to him that there aren't many billionaires so if a few left the country it would wreck JC's tax grab

They are not the key contributors to pay .. there are organisations that are profiting from operating in the U.K. but not paying their tax contribution

And basically there's nothing that Corbyn or any British politician can do about it.

What these companies are doing is not illegal and if we tried to act unilaterally they can, for tax purposes, operate elsewhere.

This requires all countries to act together and there does not appear to be any overall will to do so.

I bet you still believe in Santa!

Our Government would be wrapped up in legal actions that would make Brexit seem as easy as a WI meeting.

In addition plenty of other countries would be only too happy to benefit from our problems.

It would be easier than Brexit .. do the due diligence get the strategy right and it can be done.
To be honest Brexit is the dumbest idea out and there are apparently 17.4million people willing to do it. Yet you seem to think taking on big conglomerates that want to sell in the U.K. and make a profit is harder? Really ? Is that because the newspapers told you so?
This is more about taking ownership of our country than Brexit. But it will be breaking a few eggs that have a lot of money.
 
Sort of enjoyed that debate, neither landed any knockout blows, thought boris came out on top when discussing the NHS, Corbyn when discussing security.
Showed more than anything that both needed more scrutiny and nailing down on some of the issues, but the format and time restraints didn’t allow it.
Not sure if an hour on 2 or 3 questions only rather than 7 or 8 questions would be better.

If you truly believe that it would be so easy then fine, I cannot see much point in discussing it further.

However, this is not a new problem so I won

If that's what you truly believe then not much point in discussing it further.

But as it is not a new problem yet apparently so easy to resolve I wonder why Labour didn't address it between 1997 and 2010.

Obviously you will say that the Tories don't wish to but was there no will on the part of Messrs Blair and Brown?

By the way, how are we going to get the rest of the world to fall in line?

This is a global problem requiring a global solution.

Why are you bothering to put other points across if you think your right?
Is there any point me replying to those, nah not really.
