Was a sensible debate with no slagging off each other for a change. I thought Lisa Nandy came off best. The other two found it difficult to answer some questions as they were so close to and involved with the policies of the JC opposition.

My thoughts exactly - thought Lisa Nandy came across as the most natural and genuine. Nothing particularly against the others but they seem a little manufactured to me as if giving the answers they think will appease the vast majority. Another debate on Sky News Thursday.

Undemocratic union never asked members what they thought of brexit and now not asking us about the labour leadership, bunch of losers

Painfully inaccurate.

On Brexit, they had a Motion at conference on which delegates voted on based on their own memberships meetings where votes can be taken by ordinary members on which motions to support or not. However, ultimately it was only a recommendation to members, not instruction or dictat.

On Labour leadership, again it's only a recommendation, and if you pay into the Political fund you can register (for free) as an associate member and vote for your own choice regardless of the Union.

Not sure whats undemocratic about that, but then you descended into petty name-calling which kind of in my eyes diminishes any valid point you may have had.
