Are election results worst of all worlds for Tories? 

I don't think it matters who the Tory leader is. It's not Sunak that we're sick of, it's the whole party.

The Tories got a kicking nothing less than they deserve, the people want a general election now.

Why are we still watching this man on tv wen he recked the uk getting more money for failure

First time I've seen Kwasi pop up since his budget.

Sunak and Suella are disgraces, they both should get out of uk politics .

What gives a good god dam what Kwasi Kwarteng thinks or says. The man is demonstrably useless and a prime example of how the Tories are scaping the barrel of candidates. All you need to do is look at what this group of people, who wouldn't last 5 minutes in a real job, have done to our country. Why are they being put on shows and where is the voice of the opposition on here.

Who else cringed when Kwasi said the words "the numbers"? A man who knows nothing about numbers. As for the guy from the Spectator..... they always gloss over the disgraceful liar Johnson's misdemeanors.

Who has less shame? Kwasi for showing his face without any apology (like nothing ever happened), or Channel 4 for attempting to relegitimise him. The man should be done in politics and power

So two hard-line Tories and one Labour peer. Nothing like a balanced panel. Nothing like.

What is Fraser Nelson talking about? "Labour got 43%, Boris Johnson almost got almost 50%." No he didn't, Johnson got 43.6%.

What this country needs now, is proportional representation. If the constant choice is a to and fro between bread and slightly staler bread, then it’s long before time for _real_ democracy. It needs to be changed to _truly_ represent the voting choices of the people.

For God’s sake Sunak…just go!

Why are disgraced politicians constantly given airtime?

Conservatives are not talking about building houses, or investing in this country. It's all about Rwanda....

Odd to invite Kwasi to this debate. I'm not sure anyone would trust his judgement considering he trashed the economy with the help of a prime minister who was overshadowed by an iceberg lettuce.

Listening to this makes me think we should jail them all.

CRAZY QUARTENG SENT MY MORTGAGE UP X 4 WHAT ON EARTH HAVE CHANNEL 4 OF ALL STATIONS

Why is Kwasi on there?

Greens, Channel 4. Greens! You had on Tice, now Quazi & The Spectator. I switched off TV tonight when you put on reheated UKIP for no good reason, now i'm switching off this warped panel that out-fashes even BBCQT! WTAF?!

Don't see difference between labour and Tories

It makes no difference who leads the Tories into the Valley of Death.😂

having another unelected leader or prime miniature is not acceptable, an election must be held.

Kwasiiiiiii…PLEASE DONT LOOK AT ANY NUMBERS

When Kwarteng is the one being more honest and insightful about Starmer you know the rest are talking rubbish.

Rishi needs to just call an election now. The longer he clings on at no.10. It just looks desperate and embarrassing.

How on earth can you ask the former chancellor for his opinion on anything

The Tories are done and they know it.

How the flip can he claim that "the Tories didn't do quite as badly as they thought." ??? They forecast they were going to lose 400 seats, they actually lost 20% MORE than that. They got absolutely hammered in Blackpool. They lost all but one of the regional mayorships. All Labour gains. We really are living in a "post truth" age aren't we.

Sunak is the only person that thinks it would be ridiculous he's done none of his promises so therefore he should go

I would like to see a party other than Conservative and Labour win. Change for the better. Break the mold. Unfortunately, the UK is in decline and the poor will pay the price.

It's quite revealing watching Tories discuss what's best for "the party" whilst the country falls to pieces. I hope everybody remembers this in the years to come.

I remember being really angry that while I was waiting to see how much my energy bills were going up the government fighting over who will become the next pm. They just proved to me that they don't care about the people who can't afford as much as they can.

Kwasi seems so resonable and sober, not like how I imagined, completely different from Truss

You can't be a Conservative party in a country that hasn't got anything left to conserve.

If the Country wants real change Ditch the 3 main parties and vote for independent MP'S. The electorate needs their heads examined, madness is repeating the same choices and expecting different outcomes.

Yeah, it would look bad having six Conservative PM's, and five, and four, and thr.......... Etcetera..

They'd be utterly crazy to change leaders again. _So Sunak's safe?_ I didn't say that.

more time = more by elections to lose

The underlying problem with the likes of UKIP, reform independents, the SNP and to a lesser extent Galloway's party is there are no viable alternatives in Westeminster. The 'disruption' is an artefact of the First Past the Post system that erodes choice and representation. If people can't vote for the party that represents them they will vote tactically or a protest vote perhaps better described as 'vindictive'. It is time Labour and Tories recognise the urgent need for proportional representation and a fully elected upper house. All this talk of 'reaching out' to different groups when neither Labour nor Tories really represent huge sections of society is disingenuous, deceptive and worse actively discouraging participation. The bottom 3 income decile groups are not represented, those concerned about climate change, 80% plus, are not represented, those concerned about Gaza are not represented (beyond how to better communicate, hindwink?, them), those concerned about privatisation of public services transport, energy and water are not represented. Given the annoyance with the Labour Party and the fact 30% don't bother to vote it seems 50, 60 perhaps 70 % of people don't feel represented. People are still paying twice as much for their energy while energy companies make 62 Billion profit and the cost of living support has quietly disappeared. We are now seeing disabled people becoming the target of Austerity 2.0. People don't want lies, distraction and manipulation: they want a government that acts on delivering people's needs and holding greed and corruption to account.

Do it, it would be funny.

Why didn’t the bring Liz Truss on ? Might as well

If the tories want to lose insanely badly then they should oust Rishi Sunak

there's always a hope of something better....but i think similar to the idea of kicking out our current speaker of the house, it ignores the fact that numerous previous votes did NOT produce anyone good...why would going through the same pile of laundry result in anything better...if anything the new pick will just be worse and more crazy. the pool isn't different and the criteria wouldn't have changed either... at some point you can't keep rummaging through the hamper. you have to do the laundry.

Sunak will not change anything. Keep him until General Election until Tories become ashes . Well done Labour 😅

Kwasi ‘it would look ridiculous having a 6th PM’ So 5 is the limit then? 😂 oh and Kwasi we don’t want another ‘Fiscal event’

If Rushi Sunak stopped working for WEF and UN and concentrate on United Kingdom he might be doing better in the polls. WEF AND UN mass immigration policy he followed, Rwanda plan Sunak never wanted Suella forced it on him and he sacked her. (ALARM BELLS )

A case of Damned if you do, and damned if you don't. Rishi really boxed himself into a corner there...

The natives in the UK have been driving their country down for quite some time and now it's about at a point of no return....RIP UK golden age, rough time are coming really soon..

Yes, but the best of all worlds for BRITAIN!

Kwasi the absolute 🔔 end 😂😂😂

Muslim votes are so biased towards things going on in other countries, they haven't got an interest what happens in england

Tories made the Tories impossible to vote for. Biden is up for it next!

Loved it when they made people show Id to vote but it stopped their own votes for voting for them😂😂😂

Thanks for posting

What does it say about this panel when Kwasi is the only person to point out the ridiculousness of calling Starmer “a man of principles” as opposed to Corbin 😂?! The characterisation was right - he’s a nimble politician, just like what the rest of the political class are hoping to be. Quite hopeless for the voters I fear….

Not calling a general election is ridiculous

“Former Chancellor” for like 5 minutes! 😂😂😂

This kwasi was in Led by Donkeys episode isn’t?

The most idiotic thing the Tories did was to remove Johnson from office over something absolutely a minor issue that no one really freaking cared about; and after that getting such uninspiring leaders to the same office

He got to go

Conservatives caught between the rock and the hard place.

Let it be spoken.

Kwarteng should play Darth Vader with that voice.

Great results for Independents...All 107 Councils declared...276 Independent and Resident Association Cllrs...up 104 or + 60%. A Labour majority is not inevitable.

No. It would be mad NOT to bin him. Hes a liability.

In 2019 Johnson was less popular than May was in 2017, he only won because people were tired of the brexit shambles and wanted it sorted and for some bizarre reason believed that he would do just that. In addition he was facing Corbyn who was very unpopular and who people believed would make a mess of running the country. So Johnson was never popular and is likely to be even more unpopular now.

How bad is this

Why is cookie monster allowed to spout his opinion?? If anyone else messed up as badly as he did he would not be allowed to speak in a pub or any public park again!!!

The Tory Kwarteng is wrong! The LP woman is right. Starmer has traditional virtues of seriousness, moderation, respect, decency and with a total commitment to the working people of this country. These qualities are something no Tory would recognise. His moderate centrist decenct respectable demeanor may not be very exciting but will always be something better than any Tory can offer.

It was mad to appoint him as P.M in the first place...well at least to some, but i think it was a really good thing, as he has definitely been instrumental in destroying the Cons / tory party so the longer he stays the better...

Why is no one talking about Scotland, and the fact that the breakdown of the SNP - in similar fashion to the Tories actually - is what's going to hand this GE to Labour.

I think corbyn was way more trustworthy and looking out for the people than starmer, who reminds me of a shady used car salesman.

Outraged by the airbrushing out of Liberal Democrats in this debate. This is a huge lack of balance from C4. We expect more from this respected news provider. Covering the Reform threat, only, is greatly disresrespectful to the hardworking activists canvassing all over the country!!!

Sunak should go, and it would be the best thing since Chocolate

If you accept you can't win, then surely waiting for things to get better can work both ways. And if things get worse, what does that look like? The sooner the Tories call an election, the sooner there will be another election. Yes, things will be bad if they went in June or July but probably survivable. It seems risky to hold on for the party.

Why are we still listening to Kwarteng? Memories are short it would seem.

You let Kwarteng, destroyer of worlds, into your studio? You’re lucky the place didn’t catch fire! Were there really no more credible guests available?!

Fishy needs to just call an election now. He was delusional enough to think that sending one failed asylum seeker to Rwanda with 3k just before the local election would save his party 😂🤦‍♂️

I can handle this cast for about 3mins they all make me sick

The Tories are doomed. They might as well put a koala in a suit in charge, it won't matter

Sunak - dead man walking.

Was about to watch this then saw Kwasi, no thanks

Excellent presentation. Get someone to redo the set. Stacks of books on side tables? Ridiculous.

Oh plz try to get rid of ol’ Rancid Rishi, just for the laugh ! 😂It can’t get any worse so come on give it a go think of the endless drama on the news. As a political junkie I’d love it 😂

Might he be replaced by somebody better? The bar being that low, it is always an option that they'll find somebody better, but by the same token, the barrel of talents has lost its bottom, so there might be somebody worse round the corner.

I really hope we do end up with a left wing Reform. We need a group to remind Labour that they're supposed to represent the working class.

Why don’t the Tories understand that we don’t agree with ANYTHING that they are doing! But they keep doing the wrong things in the name of their far right base. How can he expect people to like him when he keeps pandering to the far right faction. We also didn’t like Boris but they are still pushing him onto us…. WTH. What planet are they on.

Ridiculous is some fool wanting to be Leader just to oversee a historic defeat.

We need to keep with the same. They will learn.

Keeping him there will be madder

Replacing Rishi Sunak could reduce Conservative MP P45 from 300 down to 260, better than a total wipeouts at 300+P45. Like Cheese Rishi Sunak is Paneer only for Cooking compared to British people Cheddar cheese. Replacing Sunak will prevent a total Conservative wipeouts

Kwasi and numbers is not a match made in heaven.

I imagine the conversation between the Tories would be something like, "So who hasn't had a turn at being pm yet?".

A lame duck prime minister an election needs to be called and held now. Also regardless of who’s the Tory leader is they have had their day in my opinion

How on earth can the Tories do worse unless they lost all seats

Ditching Sunk would be as ridiculous as it was to appoint him!

Kwasi should be in hiding.

Sunak is roundly detested in thr country. Keeping the runt is suicide.

After such a landslide loss of 400+ seats, Rishi not resign would be truly ridiculous and shameless.

No one wants sunak,kick him out,slam the door behind the tiny little chip
