Bullshit post-rationalisation I think. Given how awful the debate was I expect many, many people will have only watched the first 10 mins or so, by which time Sunak had hammered home the £2k tax thing and Starmer hadn't challenged it all. That will be the takeaway and any subsequent implosion won't matter. See £350m bus for details.
