Sorry they do ask intellectually coherent question on policy? Are you saying they don’t or is it just because you disagree with what they ask? Contradictory insults? Did you say the same when Rayner called the PM at the time scum?
It is not the opposition’s job to work with the ruling government, it is their job to scrutinise performance, policies and legislation. Question their decisions and highlight any failures. Question public spending, state budgets, financial management. Also voice any concerns or grievances. Actually Kemi did offer to work cross party with Starmer on welfare reforms, which they did not take up.
Serious economists also argue that the welfare bill is too high and climbing. Remember the 2 child cap? When Starmer tried to pass/slash the welfare bill he had to do a U-turn. So why should it be pensioners, once again, targeted but not the general welfare bill?
Who exactly are the ‘team’ who are letting Kemi down? Maybe look at the front bench Burnham has chosen, Haigh, convicted fraudster, Rayner, resigned for breaching the ministerial code, Reynolds the solicitor, when not a solicitor!
So why on earth would the opposition party help promote a Government, that in two years, have managed to increase borrowings, reduce growth, increase unemployment, IFS identified £1bn a year yet to be funded in defence budget!
