Unicorns fart glitter.
Sir Keith’s manservant Hoyle is still collecting no confidence letters at a rate of knots. One paid trip too many to Tel Avive.
Great comedy writing there.Sir Keith’s manservant Hoyle...
Do you think so?Sunak landing blow after blow on Starmer at PMQ’s. Extraordinary that the weakest of Tory PM‘s can wipe the floor with the esteemed barrister and former head of Public Presecutions.
I do, very much so. It wasn’t just Corbyn, when Starmer tried to spear Sunak with the Lee Anderson debacle, Sunak was able to effectively counter with Azhar Ali, who Starmer initially kept in situ. Starmer‘s prevaricating, flip-flopping and general contortions he has gone through in trying to prove himself no threat to the bosses leaves him as an all to easy punchbag for mediocrity such as Sunak.Do you think so?
Endlessly bringing up Jeremy Corbyn

I loathe Galloway. Whatever the question, he’s not the answer. But it will be gratifying if he lands a well placed kick to Starmer’s nuts in the early hours of Friday morning.The situation in Rochdale is beyond parody; three disgraced ex-Labour nut-jobs and grifters scrabbling over Tony Lloyd’s corpse. This has to be one of the most ridiculous by-elections in UK history. A national embarrassment. Even the Green candidate has been suspended from the party. The only legitimate non-Tory candidate on the ballot is the LD.
Sunak sometimes appears to have fared well but it's usually superficial.I do, very much so.

This is how the BBC main website reported the exchange:Sunak landing blow after blow on Starmer at PMQ’s. Extraordinary that the weakest of Tory PM‘s can wipe the floor with the esteemed barrister and former head of Public Presecutions.

He then attacked Liz Truss, who was elected PM by Conservative party members less than two years ago and who last week was in America spouting extremist deep state conspiracy theories that would have disbarred her from even being allowed on the CCHQ candidates list a decade ago.Tory MPs spent last week claiming that Britain was being run by a shadowy cabal made up of activists, the deep state and, most chillingly of all, the Financial Times. At what point did his party give up on governing and become the political wing of the flat earth society?
Starmer challenged Sunak to say that he did not want Nigel Farage back in the Conservative party. (Sunak dodged the question.) And Starmer concluded:[Truss] predecessor spent last week in America trying to flog her new book. In search of fame and wealth, she’s taken to slagging off … [As Tories heckled] They made her prime minister, now they can’t bear talking about her.
In search of fame and wealth, she’s taken to slagging off Britain at every opportunity. She claimed that as prime minister she was sabotaged by the deep state. She also remained silent as Tommy Robinson, that right-wing thug, was described as a hero. Why is he allowing her to stand as a Tory MP at the next election?
The truth is these are no longer the Tories your parents voted for and the public can see it. The prime minister has lost control of his party to the hordes of malcontents, the tin-foil-hat brigade over there, the extremists who wrecked the economy, all lining up to undermine him, humiliate him and eventually to get rid of him.
When will he ever stand up to them, and end the pathetic spectacle of a Tory party that used to try and beat Nigel Farage now giving up and dancing to his tune instead?
Starmers a pretty poor public speaker, which shouldn't matter but does, but then so is Sunak.The Grauniad also had a different take on events:
Starmer devoted all his questions to the Conservative party’s tin-foil-hat tendency. His first question was beautfully crafted.
He then attacked Liz Truss, who was elected PM by Conservative party members less than two years ago and who last week was in America spouting extremist deep state conspiracy theories that would have disbarred her from even being allowed on the CCHQ candidates list a decade ago.
Starmer challenged Sunak to say that he did not want Nigel Farage back in the Conservative party. (Sunak dodged the question.) And Starmer concluded:
How you must pine for the bygone days when Corbyn would spend his time asking about Mrs Smiths cat.
Agreed he is not in the same league as Blair but better than Brown, Corbyn, Kinnock, Foot and Miliband.Starmers a pretty poor public speaker, which shouldn't matter but does
Actually Kinnock was often very good indeed. I'll give you the others though I'm not sure starmer is better than them.Agreed he is not in the same league as Blair but better than Brown, Corbyn, Kinnock, Foot and Miliband.
Yes, this is Labour's problem, they’ve done so many u turns that they’ve turned their foundations into quicksand.He has no firm ground from which to throw a punch.
