Corbyn Vs Smith On Question Time In Funny Tweets

'A UKIP voter talking utter fucking nonsense. There's a change.'

Thursday night’s BBC Question Time Labour leadership special was billed as a highly-anticipated head-to-head between Labour Leaders Jeremy Corbyn and rival MP Owen Smith.

Only it seems some people didn’t get the memo.

I was fucking going to watch #BBCQT but then I remembered that I can just as easily achieve erectile disfunction by drinking turps.

Tonight Question Time is dedicated to a leadership race between a man who's going to lose and another who'll never be Prime Minister. #bbcqt

What a shame, I'll be driving home when #bbcqt Corbyn v Smith is on. I might keep on driving until it's over

There were some people who seemed excited at the prospect though.

At least we think that’s Corbyn and Dimbleby.

Obviously there were accusations of bias before it had even got underway.

BBC are biased AF. We know this. But let's watch & tweet in support 4Jez #bbcqt #LabourLeadership #JeremyForLabour👇🏾 https://t.co/TKSfE7jId3

#BBCQT hasn't even started but that's not stopped Corbynistas from calling foul, accusing Question Time of being biased against Corbyn

Anyway, once it got going the speculation of who would be victorious was rampant.

Who is more likely to become Prime Minister from those appearing on tonight's BBC Question Time? #bbcqt

This chap even took the trouble of drawing a rather fantastic cartoon of the confrontation.

Ukip made an appearance courtesy of possibly the longest audience question ever asked on the show.

Then, 30 minutes in the awful reality set in.

Another fascinating Labour leadership debate leaves me wondering: to which country shall I look to move? #bbcqt

The #BBCQT Labour leadership debate felt a little like people at a wake arguing about who knew the deceased better.

BUT THEN!!!

Remarkably, the end credits provided the highlight of the entire show as most of the audience flocked to Corbyn leaving Smith looking a little dejected.

I'm actually crying real tears 😂😭 #bbcqt pic.twitter.com/IOMQk9pPJ5

And we all know who the real star of the show was.

The verdict? Mr O’Hara summed it up nicely.

Only watched 11mins of #bbcqt. It was enough. That sound? Champagne corks and high fives in every Conservative HQ in the land.
