I think her and Higgins will face a hit and Casey may walk away with a few more points after tonight.

Dear dear deer.

Casey just referenced Sean 'picking himself up' there.

Did he go broke or lose his business?

Ah Joan, Duffy was trying to make a point about society and modern politics, not "rescue" you. The indignant victim of mansplaining bit doesnt do you any favours

Love these debates. Pity there's not more dirt to be had.

Joan trying to come across strong but it just comes across as forced. And Joan does need rescuing, she's well out of her depth.
