The former.

I see Braverman is following Truss’ example and failing to turn up to answer the opposition’s questions. They’re frit, aren’t they?

We never really did get to find out what Truss was up to on urgent question day

I don’t suppose we’ll ever find out what kept Braverman so busy today either.

Maybe sleeping to have some more dreams

This is where we have an problem with "democracy".

They can literally do what they like apparently for another 27 months

Watching PMQs.

Sunak is just an intelligent version of Johnson.

All bluster and throwing accusations whilst not answering the questions - but just without the bafooness.

It worries me because the electorate may well be too dense to actually see it for what it is

"I see Braverman is following Truss’ example and failing to turn up to answer the opposition’s questions. They’re frit, aren’t they?"

This has been evident all year - so many of them failed to turn up to multiple Select Committees meetings.

All part of lowering our standards.

And normalising the lowering.

Fits in actually with the Truss ideology (although slightly different) "we don't need to consult anyone else or prove our workings. Were determined to show that you're just small minded etc"

I think most of the time it's a deliberate frit tactic and not what encouraged Truss & Kwarteng to feel they were on ok ground to go ahead.

"think most of the time it's a deliberate frit tactic and not what encouraged Truss & Kwarteng to feel they were on ok ground to go ahead."

Leave out the not in the above to make sense 🙄

I turned it off after a couple of minutes, I couldn't bear it and now I wish I'd stayed around for that bit.

Just saw a bit of PMQs
RS came across as a smug arrogant little man
I don't rate KS much either tbh, but I feel that RS will become Boris Johnson mark two
Deeply depressing and all this talk of extra police, who got shot of many of the police in the first place ?
Awful times ahead and they will spin it as being for the greater good

They must be getting dizzy. They are spinning round faster and faster.

I think they’re losing track of what they think now.

Being dizzy can do that to you.

It's those revolving doors

We've just watched pmqs. Starmer did well, Sunak came across as a knob. Repeating the same old crap as his predecessors.
Braverman was looking smug and Mordaunt like she was going to cry.

They haven't changed at all.

I think I'm going to really dislike RS more than BJ !

Steady on, old girl! No could be that bad - except perhaps Braverman.

Nobody!

I'm feeling the same.

But yes to Braverman being on my top spot!

You can all be grateful she's not your MP though!

Fracking ban excellent, but agree it makes him look insincere. He’s playing to the Mark Menzies constituents with that, because he knows they will turn against the Tories if it is allowed again.

Not surprisingly if he was coached by Gove. Is that the best they can do? What's wrong with Rishi that he can't do it himself? Surely he should have his own comms advisors? Will he be another Truss? Apparently when she was up & coming as as Cameron protégé she was marked as a great communicator 😆😆😆

They debate like private school kids are taught to.

Throw in facts as it sounds good and it attempts to derail because people focus on incorrect facts and not their message.

Starmer debates like a lawyer - forensic and keeps to his brief.

What matter is which one the public believes and who they think is better.

I don't think it comes across as well as it should that Starmer is the better - it never did with Johnson either.

its not nice bedtime reading but it’s an interesting article.

Odd how last week and in the leadership hustings he was in favour of fracking.

What else doesn't he know whether he supports or not?
