She is shameless. Any why does the Speaker allow time to be wasted on fatuous friendly questions?
I was also wondering about this ,from a quick google it seems that MPs wishing to ask questions put their names down a week in advance .They don't have to give details of the question .Names are shuffled and drawn randomly and the winners notified .
PMQT
At PMQT the leader of the opposition can ask 6 questions ,all at once or in two blocks of 3 .Followed by leader of next largest party who can ask 2 .
Then the Speaker allows the selected questioners to ask their questions .This is done with alternating parties ,one Tory followed by a Labour .Not sure where SNP ,LD and others fit in .
I may have made some errors so happy to be corrected .
