I’m 4ft 10” & a bit creaky but can still throw a punch if required (starts limbering up)

I could make the tea! I have quite a strong kick, too.

In response to the announcement the government said: "The volume of sewage discharged is completely unacceptable. That is why we are the first government in history to take such comprehensive action to tackle it".

They want a pat on the back for tackling the problem they caused

@DuncinToffee sssshhhh that’s the bit you’re not meant to say out loud.

I’m now imagining all government statements being sheepishly mumbled by the bowed head of Rishi.

I have more than one issue with that. Firstly they are the first government in recent history to need to because of their own actions.

Secondly, I’m not sure it’s entirely historically accurate given 19th C public health reforms. Which does raise the question of why 13years if Tory rule has taken us back quite that far.

Fwiw, I can give quite a vicious glare if crossed… I might manage a few raspberries a la Monty python style?

I also have two dogs that could lick them to death.

And not just Sunak. The entire front bench was squirming. They know the game’s up now and they’re not even trying to hide it.

So why wasn't Britain party to that agreement?

You were only meant to hear and digest "first government in history" and "comprehensive".

They don't like us to remember they've been causing the issues for 13 years.

We just have to know that all the issues they created have been dealt with with world leading/ beating historical comprehensiveness!

He looks like the kid called to the HT office knowing they can't deny what they did and the HT witnessed it!

That's what Starmer was asking.

This is appalling. How dare he pretend he is far too busy and important reading the paper in front of him than listening to the question from the leader of the opposition. My cat will definitely be looking judgey at him.

He’s just phoning it in now. What is the point of him?

In terms of skills for warfare, I do great Teacher Voice.

Sunak avoiding looking at Starmer - very obviously doesn't want to provide the answer.

Can the coup wait a few days? I have covid but would like to join in.

Otherwise I'll just bring up the rear sometime next week.

@Notonthestairs you could go undercover in the HoC cafeteria and deploy germ warfare licking all the cutlery... then we can strike!

I genuinely think you could make Rishi cry at the moment. There’s a very fine nerve balancing his composure.

I wonder if Starmer misses Johnson bellowing at him across the despatch box? It must be quite unnerving being greeted with scared faces.

I reckon it brings out the legal instinct in him. He’s probably faced that reaction a thousand times and knows that means he’s right and onto a baddun.

Where is the braying, the shouting down of KS, the jeers from the tories?
Collective squeaky bum moment.

(I am good at lobbing eggs. Some will be hardboiled!)

Oh no. Hope you do t feel too rough with it.

My skills probably align somewhere with piggy's not a teacher - Im behaviour support specialist. I could do a fine kind, gentle but firm voice if "I thought we talked about this and you were going to try really hard in this situation in future"

What have I started? As it happens, looking at Rishi I don’t think we’re going to need the army.
