Did anyone watch? did he actually answer? or was it a genuine IT glitch?

Watching again, you can see him nod at the end of the set-up to the question, acknowledging that he'd heard and understood. You can see him nod again when Charlie starts up after pausing for him - so he could definitely hear the question.

I didn't have much hope that he'd actually answer, but wanted to give the benefit of the doubt, given that I haven't seen beyond the point that video cuts out.

I was watching it this morning and whilst he did eventually speak, he didn't answer the question.

Not that any of them really do, but very evasive all the same.

Wow. That is full on "If I don't move, then can't see me," levels of freezing up.

This is presumably why we need more bonuses for bankers - how will they ever cope with the cost of living crisis and bans on Russian imports - have you seen the cost of caviar recently? Not to mention the nothing-to-do-with-brexit increase in the cost of Bollinger.

While the person she's currently trying to beg an audience with is either finding some morals or has had his twitter account hacked.

trickle-down economics has fallen on it's arse for every one of the last 40-odd years.

The mega-wealthy squirrel their £ away in offshore bank accounts as a way to keep score against each other. It's taken out of circulation and kept on computers, and away from prying eyes.
The moderately wealth spend their £ back into the economy, where each £ works to create more £s, they also tend to pay their share of income tax.
The poor have to choose which essentials to spend their £ on, which generally means generating £ for the mega-wealthy, so that they can take it back out of circulation again.

Glad that Labour, or just someone, has grasped the obvious opportunity in (talking about) the creation of a green 'industry' with the wins that come with it, not least in actually producing stuff again. That is worth borrowing money to pump prime imo.

And Labour sings the national anthem and pays tribute to the Queen. Interesting times.

Yeah, I saw that - also liked "the lady is not for churning"

Of course, neither reply works without the original call

A friend of mine (presumably not his originally) has "asked" Channel 4 to start a new political analysis show with Ed Miliband called "Chaos, with Ed Milliband"

It's just such a spectacular own goal. Will be hard to beat unless you vote in an actual mollusc at the next election.
