Has Rishi lost his marbles?

[Dave H.]

Richy Sunk has used PMQs to double down on this, accusing the Greek PM of grandstanding.

Apparently without irony.

Which is itself at least faintly ironic.

God I hope so.

I think Nadine Dorris is not helping his cause!

“The big argument people keep repeating for keeping the Elgin marbles at the British Museum is that they are safer here. No they are not! Here’s a short film I made a few years ago. Genuinely shocking.”

Do you think he wants out as soon as possible then?

No chance, by the way. It'll be the autumn.

Yes as the goons will be circling soon..

I believe his days are numbered, we may even be getting another tory PM at this rate, another no confidence vote coming soon..

I would think that 95% of the british population couldn’t give a toss one way or another. Personally I think we should give them back.

 

[JB2130]

Give them back..

on PFM?

Nope. A Lambretta! 8-]

His trousers make me think he ain't a Rocker, anyway...

If we're giving the Greeks some ancient relics which are now a source of national embarrassment and shame, I wonder if they'd be amenable to taking a decent chunk of the Houses of Commons and Lords as part of a job lot?

I thought Starmer’s introduction to PMQs was a classic!

Keir Starmer says, to conceal his failure, Sunak spent this week arguing about an ancient relic of little interest to the public. But that’s enough about the Tory party.

Is it worth pissing of a smallish but generally friendly nation just to big himself up to the tory right wing?

Greece denies promising not to raise Parthenon Sculptures on UK visit

No. 10 cancelled a meeting between the UK and Greek PMs after comments to the BBC about the sculptures.

Yep, the Tory bunch are all about the populist minority having the loudest voice.

There’ll be quite a few sniggers across European capitals after the Tory shift manager bounced a European Prime Minister with an accusation of ‘grandstanding’ simply for asking for stolen property back from the UK. Lukashenko is probably trending ahead of Sunak in popularity at the moment.
