Lettuce Liz then Tetchy Rish! and the battle to replace him

[Sniffer]

"You can comment on rule breaking in cricket but not on rule breaking in Parliament"

 

[Sniffer]

Holding your nerve extends to sitting in the Winchester and hoping that it all blows over before the 12 months are up.

Sunak says he does not have that figure to hand.

But he talks about a family faced with an increase in monthly payments from about £700 to £1,000. They could extend their mortgage, he says. Or they could go to interest-only for six months.

Q: What about families not covered by the mortgage charter?

Sunak says the vast majority are covered.

And he says that anyone facing repossession, that cannot happen for 12 months.

 

[Sniffer]

PMQ's - Dowden just repeating lies. It's an absolute farce.

Record levels of house building.
Waiting lists coming down.

Just not true.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Sunak already has the worst PMQs attendance record of any PM in the last 45 years, and he's pencilled in to miss next week too.

Then there's only one more until summer recess which lasts until September. The Steve Madeley of political leaders.

 

[Tredman]

Dowden is terrible at this, at least Raab had the phychotic thing going on to make it interesting

If these lines have been knowingly shown to be bunkum on multiple occasions why doesn’t Hoyle step in and demand they get retracted?

If these lines have been knowingly shown to be bunkum on multiple occasions why doesn’t Hoyle step in and demand they get retracted?

Not just Hoyle but his deputies also repeat this sort of line from the exchange below.

Dowden's claim Labour policy would add £1,000 to cost of average mortgages not supported by research, MPs told​

Dawn Butler (Lab) raises a point of order. She says at a previous PMQs Oliver Dowden said that Labour’s plan to spend £28bn a year on green energy plans would put an extra £1,000 on mortgages. That figure came from a Daily Mail article, that attributed it to the Treasury. But when the UK Statistics Authority looked into this, it found that this was not based on any proper Treasury analysis. She says this has been confirmed by LBC. She asks if Dowden will correct the record.

Sir Linday Hoyle, the speaker, says that ministers will have heard the point, and that he is sure Dowden will want to correct any mistake as quickly as possible.

 

[Langers]

I can't watch PMQs anymore, it's just a pantomime, and filled with utter cunts spouting lie after lie with no chance of them being pulled up on them. They all act like kids whilst the country is being run into the ground by people who don't care. It gets me so angry.

As you said earlier, Sniffer - it's a farce.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

And that’s what a weak speaker gets you. Bercow was a wanker but he took absolutely zero shit from Johnson.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Bercow and Johnson as PM barely overlapped tbf. Taking recess into account it was barely three months. He did his best work against the Tories in general post-2016, but not Fatso explicitly.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

He annoyed fatso enough to be denied the usually guaranteed retirement peerage though.

 

[lemonjelly]

it's also interesting sunaks argument about bringing back transparency and accountability, yet he doesn't attend, and continues to do the johnson trick of announcing policy to the media before parliament, then is told off by the speaker, and then does it again.
it is starting to appear to be a tory member characteristic that one does not behave as though the rules apply to yourself, only those below you...

 

[BillyDee]

 

[Sniffer]

Really comes across as a petulant twat too when he doesn’t like questions as shown yesterday in the liaisons committee.
His longest interview since becoming PM was with Jonathan Agnew on TMS on Saturday which just shows that he doesn’t like any scrutiny on his policies. It was lucky that my car radio survived the whack it got when he turned up on ‘view from the boundary’

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Was pretty good when Bryant asked why he hadn't read a report "in full" when it's three pages long.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

He said “cover to cover” as if it was War and Peace.

If that's real or true, it makes me a bit scared about the intelligence level of our elected members. Are the current crop of MPs (of all flavours) the most stupid we've ever had?

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Oh it's definitely true and real, I'm surprised you're surprised.

The thing is there will be millions who agree with her too.
