Gosh Mr Corbyn is coming up alot.

itsgettingweird · 06/07/2022 12:14

The problem with Labour is they want to focus on these issues (the sex offence etc)

The Tory's want to get on with running the country

You couldn't make up this shit 🤦‍♀️

Ah, now he's thrown Ukraine in too. Zelensky needs to start charging him by the mention.

"It's not about sex, but power. He has been propped up for months by a corrupt party defending the indefensible."

Johnson reduced to bragging about Ukrainians. This is scraping the barrel. He can't reply to the question.

"Z-list cast of nodding dogs" 🤣

I do wish Starmer didn't have such a whiney voice, but he is certainly wiping the floor with Johnson today.

Johnson sounds like a child whingeing to its mother that people are being mean to him. Doesn't look as shame-faced as he should, though.

It does seem utterly ridiculous when people have clearly been primed to toss in questions around topics that are no doubt important, but really not for today when there are far bigger issues on the table.

BJ is sounding like a complete fool. In answer to KS it's all 'getting on with the job' and 'let's do what the public want'.

He has nothing whatsoever to say. He has in front of him at the despatch box just a list of slurs about Labour. He keeps glancing at it. He wheels out one every time KS hits home with what he's saying. KS is on fire today.

Whoever wrote the part about 'sexual assault is not about sex, it's about power, and that power was given to him by Boris Johnson'.... deserves a pay rise.

And here comes Ian Blackford!

ApplesandBunions · 06/07/2022 12:17

I already knew what had happened, what Johnson had enabled, but hearing the words of one of Pincher's victims really spells it out. Just awful.

itsgettingweird · 06/07/2022 12:18

Ian Blackford 🤣🤣🤣🤣 he has such a fantastic into action and his delivery is perfect.

He's just missing the MN head tilt!

That really hit home.

DuncinToffee · 06/07/2022 12:20

Gove missing in action?

Janiie has popped up on the other thread, maybe she will say hi here too

ancientgran · 06/07/2022 12:20

Getting it from both sides now.

countrygirl99 · 06/07/2022 12:20

Jo Churchill resigned. What's the tally now?

ancientgran · 06/07/2022 12:20

Still hiding behind Ukraine.

Absolutely. I felt that.

Priti and Gove both awol. I wonder if he thinks changing some faces around him distances his past actions?

Not concentrating at all on my meeting! What's going on with Gove? He'll be plotting to put himself in the best possible position surely?

ancientgran · 06/07/2022 12:27

He doesn't realise that we can still see him.

Notonthestairs · 06/07/2022 12:28

Does Gove regularly attend PMQs? I imagine he's on the phone to Murdoch working through plans.

DuncinToffee · 06/07/2022 12:29

Paul Brand

Understand 1922 exec meeting at 4pm to discuss rule changes, then 1922 meets Raab at 5pm.

He might have needed a stiff drink last night after all the excitement and might be feeling under the weather this morning. Or even this afternoon!
