Rishi Sunak

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.

Totally agree. It's a separate point to the thread I suppose, but what is the point in the speaker if they don't ensure that the house (and the electorate) get proper answers to questions? It's an utter pisstake that the PM can be asked a direct question and respond with some meaningless waffle and then a pre-prepared counterattack line that is either misleading or completely irrelevant.

The Tunbridge Wells Manifesto:
“I managed to start changing the funding formulas to make sure that areas like this are getting the funding they deserve".

He was talking about undoing Labour policy that “shoved all the funding into deprived urban areas” (the red wall that voted for them). Even if he meant that rural and coastal areas have pockets of deprivation, I don't think he meant he was moving money to Blackpool.

I know what he meant - I was just saying that previously he managed to come up with a self-righteous justification about areas of Kent and Hampshire also having pockets of poverty (which is true, but as I said it's not true to argue that's what he did).

My point was that it's almost as if he didn't realise why his made-up justification was a good answer. It was at a Tory hustings, it (like the best lies) had some element of truth, but mostly it was delivered with conviction. At PMQs he missed out the best parts of the argument, but delivered it as if he still had the applause of a Tory audience in his ears.

It’s actually a derivation of the letter T. It was started in the USA and someone used to write down the letter T next to people who had stated they would be ‘totally abstemious‘ and therefore practice ‘temperance totally‘.
They thus became known as T Totalers or teetotal as it was then spelt.

This week on QI...

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.

Yes, it’s definitely Starmer who’s the issue here. Nothing to do with the shitcunt government you blindly support, no siree, it’s all Labours fault for asking the wrong questions.
Be laughable if it wasn’t so depressing.

Sadly a lot of people have the same attitude than admit they are wrong.

Are you sure it's a real person?

I think it's just one of Ric's chatbots talking crap to keep the site ticking over.

It's hard to keep up tbf. There's so many accounts these days that leave you questioning wherever they are genuine or not. It's fucking tiring trying to figure them out.

I disagree completely with this, Starmer is perfectly good at asking difficult questions and delivering them well, but the format allows to PM to simply not answer a direct question.

Anyway your “first 17 questions of 2022 were about cake” betrays you for what you are.


They were about the Prime Minister breaking the law and lead to him being removed from office and being subject to a parliamentary enquiry.

He's asking all the right question but not necessarily in the right order.
