Mick Lynch

Top man Mick.

He's really putting it up to the Tories in a way Starmer has not been able to do.

Some funny memes and lines going around.

His style of debate was always likely to be stumbled upon, at some point as an effective strategy. In simple terms when debating somebody you rarely encounter a stonewalling of ridicule. In fact, it is likely to become a strategy going forward.

It only works if most people observing the debate think The interviewer deserves to be ridiculed and the Nona Fides of the person doing the ridiculing stand up.   In the wrong hands this strategy could backfire. As. result it’s not really that much of a strategy it’s just him being authentic and being interviewed by right wing puppets who make themselves look ridiculous due to lack of journalistic talent.

I think if politicians in general started trying it it might stick. To the discerning centrist it will look ridiculous, but the rest will just applaud to the extent it suits their tribalism.
