YouGov / Sky News snap poll on the TV debate
Leaving aside your own party preference, who do you think performed best overall in tonight’s debate?
Boris Johnson: 52%
Jeremy Corbyn: 48%— Sam Coates Sky (@SamCoatesSky) December 6, 2019
You could pretty much replace Boris Johnson at this point by stapling the phrase “get brexit done” to a dildo
— James Felton (@JimMFelton) December 6, 2019
VIEWS: ‘Get Brexit Done’ a powerful slogan but from the scant detail on an actual trade deal to the black hole on social care, the courts, tax & spend, the public has little idea what Johnson’s Britain looks like. Attached to Brexit is a 5-yr blank cheque https://t.co/lYpCjdSOeN

The only way Liverpool can win the league is if we Get Brexit Done
The only way Adele can release another album is if we Get Brexit Done
The only way the sun will rise in the morning is if we Get Brexit Done
