Rishi Sunak

Once again PMQ's is exposed as a completely ineffectual forum to hold the PM to account.
It is with Starmer. He’s hopeless.

The first 17 questions of 2022 were about cake. Tedious. Not like there was a cost of living crisis looming.

Last week he asked if a book that was out by Christmas was the title. If he wants to do stand up he should try an open mic night he might be more effective as his only visible policies seem to be to get people sacked, which is odd for a party funded by trade unions.
 
I don't confess to having a great understanding of politics in the USA, but I've seen some documentaries from respected British journalists covering the mid term elections, and I've found their reports quite shocking.

So many people were being interviwed at rallies and conventions thinking a civil war was about to break out, with accustations of fake news and fixed elections being promoted by the speakers on stage fuelling the fire, it didn't promote a country at ease with itself.

On this side of the pond, it came across as a confused mess with frightening consequences. I don't know how representative those reports were but is that take on the situation, that civil war could break out, a real concern for you?
The real concern is that there are literally millions of uneducated gun toting sheeple who believe things that even 5yr olds know are crazy…and yet are willing to say the quiet parts out loud.

Conservatives used to have a fairly straightforward ideology of strong national defence, law and order, low taxes, and small govt. When out of power, they understood that there were still things they could get accomplished with Democrats.

Today, it’s “if we don’t win, the election is rigged, so we are going to put people in place to make sure elections are never rigged again, so that we win!”

Get the logic?!

My concern is that IF they don’t get what they want, when they want it, someone’s going to die.

And, yes, I think it is entirely possible, because for some people in this country, the pandemic of poor mental health is often dealt with by death of others or suicide…often by cop!

Following in the footsteps of Truss who didn’t turn up for her urgent question only last week. Shows the contempt they have for parliamentary accountability.
They don't even turn up to answer questions from the parliamentary committees for their department.
 
Thank you. I suppose I could have googled this but I didn't so it is kind of you to inform me. Didn't AA also start in America in the 1930s too?
The temperance movement started in the 19th century.

It's the answers you need to be more critical of rather than the questions.

Whether it was Johnson, Truss or now Sunak they know they don't have to answer any difficult questions and know that they can get away with waffling randomly about Jeremy Corbyn, North London elites, uncontrolled immigration under Labour, uncontrolled spending under Labour, getting Brexit done, supporting Ukraine and get away with it because there is no mechanism to force them to actually answer a question, and they also know that the LOTO only has 6 questions so they can see it out quite easily.

Sunak was marginally more convincing than the two previous incumbents but it didn't take him long to bring up the stock catchphrases rather than answering tricky questions about Braverman, levelling up and non-dom.

Nail on head.
They should be made to answer any questions put to them, or they may as well scrap the meeting as it's pointless.
 
Ha - I was thinking about this the other day, did Coppell do like 30 days? Liz Truss did more, but if your minus the mourning period for QEII it was about the same.

Truss = Fat Sam - if you think about it from an England point of view!
I think had they both swapped places - Sam as PM and Liz as England coach - they would have achieved much more!
 
Mr Speaker, I'd like to table a motion on whether the house thinks the member of Richmond (Yorks) is a ****.
We need a better word for MPs - they are all cunts at heart, greasy pole climbers, , useless in the main, ne'er do owts, and treacherous to a T! Actually, the word, on reflection, seems to fit perfectly.
