Takes everyone for mugs

Of course he does. it's what privileged people do because they're basically told they're better than everyone else from a young age. So they automatically believe they're smarter and therefore dismiss pretty much out of hand any ideas that come from a lower social class as it must therefore be inferior to whatever they think/believe, while believing they won't have the intelligence to work out their scheming.

Why you see the likes of Sunak, Johnson, Rees-Mogg look so surprised and irate when people they consider more lowly than them pull them up on their nonsense. They can't believe this lowly person is having the audacity to question them whilst simultaneously being stunned that the person has got the intelligence to see what they're doing.

Sunak dodging PMQs today apparently.

He's weak as fuck, a coward, and it turns out might be more part time than even Boris fucking Johnson.

Starmer isn't there either. They're both at the same event

If Sunak doesn't attend then Starmer can't attend either, he has to send his deputy. Stupid rule.

Sunak has the worst PMQs attendance rate of any PM in the last 40 years.

You saying Starmer is nobly only going because he's being forced to?

 

[skybluetony176]

Shit PMQ’s all round. May as well not bothered.

 

[fernandopartridge]

PMQs is a load of rubbish, vacuous political theatre.

I'm saying Sunak is a coward who is incapable of being held to account and does everything he can to avoid scrutiny.

It would be OK if there were rules about actually answering the questions.

In its current format yes it's a waste of time really.

By going to the same event Starmer is?

Cmon man, there's plenty to bash the government without going lazy.

No, for this:

Sunak has the worst PMQs attendance rate of any PM in the last 40 years.

And skipping votes, and his performance yesterday.

It's clear he really hates any kind of scrutiny or accountability.

That's a bit different to him 'dodging PMQs today'.

Another by election on the way.

Nominative determinism!

 

[skybluetony176]

The government started this parliament with 365 MP’s and could end up with 347 by the next GE assuming Dorries doesn’t actually quit.

Has there ever been such a depletion in a single term? I know that there’s always going to be by-elections in a term but this must be some sort of record. Testament to the inevitable chaos that always follows Boris around.

TBH even if the questions were answered it is fairly meaningless, usually just soundbites and the wrong person being asked (i.e. questions referred to relevant minister to be never heard again).

The parliamentary liaison committee is far more effective.

Frightening how rigid he is.

More frightening that the Labour Party are no longer on the side of the people!

"Opposition" my arse....

Sounds like something Truss would have said. He’s one step away from labelling everyone else the anti-growth alliance.

I see Sunak lost the JR on ministers WhatsApp messages regarding availability to the covid enquiry. Must have been what he meant when he said integrity and accountability, obviously lost it on purpose.

Correct decision. It should be up to enquiry to decide as to whether they’re relevant or not. Was always a losing battle so not sure why get into it in the first place.

 

[SomersetSB]

Tories are a fooking disgrace, good riddance to bad rubbish.
You couldn’t make it up, how many by-elections can you have in one year by a government must be a record!!

You can only assume the information in them is so devastating for the Tories that they had little option but to try.

Edit. Or for Sunak personally.

Given Johnson was quite happy to hand them over, the latter is a strong possibility!

Didn’t he end up withholding the crucial ones?

Yep.
It costs me money as I'm self employed but I'm taking full advantage.

Solidarity.
