8 best jokes and funniest moments of the BBC General Election Leader’s debate
Oh this election debate, where to begin? Well of course it was mostly shouty dickheads, and you were best off watching something else, but we were there, monitoring the debate and social media for jokes so you don’t have to.
Mostly dominated by the elephant not in the room – the absence of Theresa May – who essential ducked out because she’s increasingly crap at public engagement, treating it mostly as an opportunity to squeak “strong and stable” and “brexit” whilst looking like she’s about to shit herself.
Here’s the 8 best moments.
1. Great line from Caroline Lucas
