Well I suppose we should be glad that when Sunak said his government would be accountable he was accurate. Williamson has been found out and has walked/ been sacked / left. Good riddance. What an excuse for a politician, couldn’t keep his mouth closed or keep security secrets as the Defence Secretary, was the most incompetent Educational Secretary that I can remember and now proved to be a bully to the people he works with. Just when you thought things were quietening down...... He was one who knew where the skeletons were being a former Chief Whip. In other news I see 'HMS Boris' has been effectively shelved, only cost £25m in initial designs, apparently. Does make me laugh ,chief whip getting upset,they are more than capable of dishing out the verbals when needs be. |

That must be against the ministerial code surely. Time will tell as ever as to what happens to him but at least we will not see him again in government. |

I watched the PMQ's and it was like Starmer was the headmaster and Sunak the naughty schoolboy. You can tell Starmer used to be a barrister.

Just watched some highlights, have to say it was refreshing to see Sunak actually answer questions, rather than the usual crap spouted. However, he looked weak to me. Maybe he’ll grow into it but Starmer looked in full control IMO |

However I doubt will ever hear that anytime soon. |

Should really be called Prime Minister's Answers, although that would fall foul of the Trades Description Act. While we're at it, should be called His Majesty's Alternative. It may actually mean they propose alternatives rather than oppose. |

Have been waiting patiently for Starmer to tell us what he proposes and for some reason he is very reluctant to do so. I wonder why? |

Some things have been announced (Brexit and windfall taxes for example) but I expect they are keeping their powder dry. As Napoleon said, when the enemy is making mistakes, don't interfere. |

But Mr Starmer is calling for an election now, I and no doubt many others would like to know what his policy’s are other than a windfall tax that we all know will raise peanuts on the grand scale of things. I think you and I know he does not want an election now because he does not have a clue to whats required. |

It’s PMs questions not Opposition’s leaders time to lay out his plans . Labour has laid out some of it plans , GB energy and the ludicrous make Brexit work nonsense 🙄😂. As Stu points out , you don’t reveal your plans / ideas too early or the other parties can just pinch your ideas and claim them as their own . |

I think you and I know he does not want an election now because he does not have a clue to whats required. I agree at some point Labour will have to define and quantify their election offer. But tactically they have no reason to do so until an election is called, something which is not in their remit. They have called for one consistently since Johnson resigned. In the meantime they can sit back and watch this utter sh*t show in Government. |

Nigel Garage's Reform Party is a bit worrying for Labour voters IMO. A lot of people seem to be saying it's bad for the tories but I don't think it is. Reform could take some of the middle votes and end up getting into bed with the tories to suit both parties (akin to when Tories had a minority and Lib Dems got into bed with them to get into power.)

I was surprised that over half the country thought Brexit was a good idea. I was surprised that people thought Liz Truss was our best choice as PM. People are idiots. |
