Keir Starmer backs Rishi Sunak into a corner during PMQs after Liz Truss' new book took over the headlines this week. #pmqs Subscribe to our new podcast now, or you're a silly goose: linktr.ee/pubcast
Because Corbyn is the only person that Sunak feels like he has a comfortable attack strategy against. He's operating on years old software and no one at conservative HQ seems to be able to convince him to update.
@stella Well he did win the tories the last election. He's probably got a gold plated bust of him sitting on his gold plated mantelpiece at home too!😊😊
Guy Fawkes wanted to blow up the protestant James 1st at the opening of Parliament and spark a revolt to restore Catholic rule. The conspirators were attempting to nip nascent democracy in the bud and re-establish priest-ridden autocratic rule. The English people at the time were far from celebrating Fawkes's aims and have burnt him in efiigy ever since. Quite right too.
PMQs is an absolute waste of time. The speaker doesn't actually force anyone to answer the question asked so they basically just stand up and take turns shouting at each other. Of course it would work a lot better if the conservatives actually had any kind of responses, but they know they don't really have any way to defend their actions, so they choose instead to just deflect. It was better when they had just got into power and they were actually defending their choices because they were actually defensible acts, even if they were disagreeable.
Seems to be a British thing media never call out lies uttered by most MPs when questioned, I think every bench in HoC should be wired up to a lie detector and very closely monitored, when a lie is detected they should be called out immediately and removed. By the end of PMQs probably find very few people left. But something needs to be done to hold these people responsible for their lies and lack of integrity.
PMQs what a waste of time these effing people get £92k per year for sitting on their arse and braying like effing donkeys and this is how they rule the country it reminds me of an argument in the playground "my dad is better than your dad, no he's not, my dad's the best no he's not cos my dad can do things better than your dad, my dad does the best things" well that's that settled😅
@@jacobmatthews7524 I think like you, Sunak, Truss and Johnson have got it the wrong way around! PMQs stands for Questions TO the Prime Minister or have I misunderstood you?
@@robinmouzer6953 it's a joke that the reason the PM never gives answers at PM's question's is because its called PM's questions, not PM's answers, therefore we get plenty of questions without answers
@@l3eatalphal3eatalpha It wasn't pre 2012 and even a bit after for the first few serving Tory PMs - go back and look at old PMQs, Boris and Sunak have reinvented PMQs.
@@l3eatalphal3eatalpha Isn't the point of PMQs to be questioning the prime minister on his policies and having the prime minister then answer that question?
We would be living in a much better place if they did, all we get now is Oxbridge c**ts trading jibes. Bring back the days when Labour politicians had a pathological hatred for the Tories instead of wanting to be one,
It is to them, how many of them will be hoping the bread and milk will last to pay day on Friday, and at least the weather is a bit better can do without the heating till Friday. And working out how they can save a few pounds each week to have money for the new school uniforms in August. At least the majority of people won't be worrying about where to go on holiday this year.
@@SmokeroftheFuture and you know I don't have a good life? You can have a good life because your parents both worked hard to give their kids better opportunities, and taught them not to make assumptions about people.
@@jjefferyworboys8138Keep up old boy, it's common knowledge she dodged millions in UK taxes and her business interests received tax payer funded, government subsidies- she's not a net contributors, she's a net benefactor. Come onnnnn, this is yesterday's news telling yesterday's Tory blues (lies)
As an American who faces the real prospect of our republic becoming Putinized if one of our Presidential candidates wins this year, Id say your doing better than some. At least your on track to definitively defeat your problem party. Mine tied in the polls with the current incumbent.
@@murray02i Not really. They're just two of a small number of countries where there exists enough distributed wealth and a low enough level of corruption for a functioning varied society with media allowed to make fun of political leaders without getting locked up, kidnapped, tortured or killed. Many countries have far more "joke" politics if it wasn't so tragic for the citizens of those countries. Unfortunately, for the UK, the political leaders have a tendency to think that their short performances should be judged by news media journalists rather than the citizens of the country.
Pmqs are very important because the party in power comes under scrutiny and it sways public opinion. The main thing wrong with politics is not paying attention to what politicians say and do
@@user-ld8gl3qj6ythey never say anything that is relevant worth listening to, the Wanker of a PM is asked a question, and he does not answer it he just uses deflection, as he knows an honest reply would show him up to be incompetent.
Every party mate. Labour is the worst. But i would still vote Conservative based on how they managed to control inflation. We can’t have idiots coming and male this mess worse.
@dadsbarmy254 The same cowards that crippled the country before world war 2, hold a lot of responsibility to Britain's postwar state and Churchill knew it. Also our "allies" America did everything they could to undermine Great Britain through crippling loans, and charging extortionate rates for World War 1 era equipment
Why don't you understand? The People never elect the PM. We elect MPs the winning party leader usually becomes the PM. That's why the Govt. is able to change the PM simply by having a new leader.
@@jackn4853 Sunak wasn't even elected by his own party he was beaten by the lettuce, I'd go easy on lecturing about how it works when it very obviously doesn't.
@@jackn4853everyone knows that but hey newsflash. Wrong or right a lot of people do base their vote on who’s likely to be the prime minister. So the fact that he hasn't stood or won an election is a relevant point to make.
Self-interest? Like clinging on to power in the most unpopular and possibly worst run government in British history to make a few extra million out of your Father-in-Law? That kind of self-interest?
Would it be an idea to forbid the PM to answer questions with whataboutisms. In the Netherlands the PM would not get away with a whataboutism as an answer.
@@anthonyclegg1511 the police are only now investigating because his party pushed for it. Hypocrisy after we know of many tories who ate guilty of not paying correct taxes
What is the point of this pantomime if they refuse to answer a question and go to what about you-ism? if the speaker can’t control and has no power what is the point of him?
The answer is none of them are actually polatitions. There in it for a short space of time and then there gone. We have a glorified accountant as the priminister and a human rights lawyer as the leader of the opposition. Anytime the middle East comes up they have to Google it.....
From 02:38 to 02:56 is pure Partridge. The elbow drop is just fantastically pathetic, the "I was right then, I'm right now" is wonderfully arrogant but 100% misplaced. If it was written in a sketch show it would be perfect comedy. Ianucci and Coogan watch out!!
The working class woman is middle class. No MP is working class. Unfortunately the suggestion is that she avoided paying tax in a dishonest way against the rules whereas the billionaire followed the rules to achieve the same aims. 🤷🏻so he’s bad for being honest and successful? We will have to wait for the outcome of the police investigation.
Well Sunak was asked that question by Starmer 3 times....No answer from Sunak. Labour is consistently badgered when it comes to the cost of their proposals including from the media and press The Tories are never badgered and have free scope to implement what they want the cost is never chased up.
Are we really paying for a museum-full of public servants to argue about a book by Liz Truss? Is this what it has come to? I feel like I'm due a refund.
As an Australian with once proud British connections, UK citizens deserves much better than this apology for democratic debate, particularly if you are Scottish or from Northern Ireland. Give all those responsible for internecine squabbling the heave-ho come the the GE in November and appoint anyone sensible left to leadership roles. That may be just a small handful of independent MPs, and other cross-benchers though!
*Hallelujah!!!! The daily jesus devotional has been a huge part of my transformation, God is good 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻was owning a loan of $47,000 to the bank for my son's brain surgery (David), Now I'm no longer in debt after I invested $12,000 and got my payout of m $270,500 every months,God bless Chloe Linda Henderson🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸..*
After I raised up to 325k trading with her I bought a new House and a car here in the states 🇺🇸🇺🇸 also paid for my son's surgery (Oscar). Glory to God.shalom.
Wow that's nice She makes you that much!! please is there a way to reach her services, I work 3 jobs and trying to pay off my debts for a while now!! Please help me.
What a joke, why not let grownups run the country and speak in a civiliced way to eachother. No wonder things are going from bad to wurse in that climate. 😂
As a Canadian, I don't understand why former PM's stick around and remain in Parliament. We have the same system of Government, but when a PM is turfed from office they tend to just hold onto their seat long enough to wind down their affairs in Ottawa and then the bi-election is called. It's not a hard rule, it's just a common sense thing. If the general public have made it clear they don't want you running the show, then it's time to find a new job somewhere else. Our ex-PM's don't sit in the back bench blabbing about how much better they'd do the job. They go off and get paid good money to speak that crap at corporate luncheons and conferences, while sparing the rest of us.
@@panteramad That he's blind to the hypocrisy of his statement, no one cares about Rayner's tax problems because it's pales into significance to the 66 billion wasted on HS2, the hundreds of millions gifted to their mates for PPE not fit for purpose, or the fact that a former PM who wiped 30 billion of off the UK economy and who's term was outlived by a lettuce is getting hundreds of thousands as a guest speaker.
@@panteramad my point is this, the leader of the workers party is a multi millionaire and a knight, confirming uks status as a feudal state. Vote for either, but they only represent the wealthy
