The Labour Government

[mosssideblue]

Lammy knew about this latest prisoner release last night and refused to provide an honest answer to the House today.

Outright dishonesty. The idea behind PMQs is to hold the government to account and to ensure that parliament can receive answers to the questions MPs want answered. Lammy obviously doesn’t give a fuck about any of that.

He’s clearly not up to the job, is well out of his depth and should resign.

If you think PMQs is anything but a show, more fool you. Even Badenough stated that

He’ll be lucky to last the week.

Here we go again

Well spotted and glad you read it to the end. I meant 2002 and have corrected it. Thanks.

Was going to say... :)

Yes, it’s embarrassing, but it’s the individual prisons making these fuck ups

What about misleading the house in PMQs? He blatantly refused to confirm further releases today even though he clearly knew.

He put strict new protocols in place and they failed within 7 days.

It’s on him.

Not confirming is not misleading the house. He isn’t responsible for someone failing to do their job.

This country has drifted into an absolute mess in the last 10 years.

The prison system is broken.
The immigration system is broken.
The economic system is broken.

This was all created by the inept conservative government but it’s time for Labour to stop passing the buck and blaming them now and to actually do something about it.

It needs strong action and I am not sure we are going to get it.

Of course it is, he deliberately avoided answering the question numerous times with the sole purpose of misleading the house.

There was a guy on the radio the other day (LBC I think), saying that the prison service struggles to attract good quality candidates. Some of the people working as prison officers, particularly in London, had a poor grasp of the english language and often didn't understand the complex release forms. This had resulted in errors being made, most were spotted but some weren't.

Well, it was a stupid question. Unless you believe Cartlidge didn't know about the latest mistaken discharge. Honestly.

We will have to agree to disagree

He is when he sets the rules. You see it all the time in business.

Corporate manslaughter? Chief Constables?

I have a bit of sympathy when the person at the top pays the ultimate price but that’s what they’re paid the big bucks for.

Who should be sacked when any crime is committed?

 

[bert38]

Would seem the MSM would have us to believe mistakes were never made releasing prisoners until Labour took office..

There’s an obvious theatre to it, but it’s clearly wrong to consider it as purely a show because the answers given or avoided can have major consequences further down the line.

Ultimately Lammy’s bizarre behaviour today reflected poorly on the government and certainly didn’t give the impression that he’s on top of his brief. In fact he made a complete tit of himself.

 

[Pingu the Penguin]

He might as well go now for all the use he is. He doesn't know what's going on in his own ministry or if he does, he doesn't want to give any details to Parliament. Either way - he's a waste of space.

His head must be spinning tbf. He had his dream foreign office job not so long ago. He sailed close to the wind today in terms of looking like a total sheister. Disappointing

 

[Kirkstall Blue]

We should be glad he's emotional. People moan when our politicians are robotic so abit of contrary behaviour should please them.

Lammy was asked three times had there been anymore prisoners accidentally released, he’s supposed to answer the question yes or no but he tried to divert attention away from himself by claiming/accused the Tories of “letting prisoners out on the sly”

“Letting prisoners out on the sly” we need an enquiry into that accusation because I’m shocked if the public have been deliberately put in danger if Lammy was speaking the truth.

 

[Ifwecouldjust.......]

What about three in a week? The primary role of government is to safeguard its people. Lammy said strict new processes in place. Now it becomes a government issue. Labour are failing us.

The services we rely on are stretched too thin .. The Justice Service (who made the mistake) ,the prison service , the police , the probation service (probably the worse attempt at privatisation ever attempted)

What a f@cking mess this country is in

I agree it’s wrong that questions are never answered and that I have said before, the speaker should enforce it, but it will never happen and, never has. It is purely theatre as you allude and why I now no longer watch it.

As for Lammy making a tit of himself in the house today, I will have to take your word for it, but he would be another one simply added to the list of hundreds before him.

Has no-one been watching PMQ the last few years? Avoiding answering the question has become normal.

Boris Johnson told to answer questions in one third of PMQs so far this year

The Prime Minister was reminded in today’s session that it is ‘Prime Minister’s Questions, not opposition questions’

Lindsay Hoyle also made fun of the prime minister for wanting to "get away early".
