MNHQ here: got a question for the Prime Minister?

[RhiannonEMumsnet]

Hi all,

We’re pleased to tell you that next week Justine will be sitting down with Prime Minister Boris Johnson to ask him Mumsnet users’ questions.

If you have a question you'd like answering, you can post it below. Please stick to the usual guidelines - one question per user, keep it civil, and if one topic is dominating, please don't continue to post what's effectively the same question or point. We'll be limited for time so do keep questions as short as possible so that we’re able to ask more of them - as always, we'll try to make sure we cover the topics that we know are important to Mumsnet users.

We'll be closing this thread at noon on Monday, so please do get your questions in before that - and watch this space to hear how the Prime Minister responds.

Thanks,
MNHQ

How do you balance being a parent of children with such a demanding career?

Mr.Johnson,
Earlier this week my 12 year old daughter used you as an example during her RS and ethics exam when she was asked to supply an example of improper use of authority/abuse of position.
As the first PM to be officially found to have broken the law whilst in office, how do you think you are fit to govern this country when even our children can see you for the fraud that you are?

How can he bear to look himself in the mirror knowing that he partied, and was fined by the police for it, while people were unable to say goodbye to dying loved ones or see vulnerable family members because they were following the rules he and his government put in place?

What do you plan to do in your retirement?

What would it take for you to resign?

Why have carers been given a 'covid bonus' in Wales and Scotland but not in England?

Why have you removed the Nolan principles (integrity, objectivity, accountability, transparency, honesty and leadership in the public interest) from the forward of the ministerial code?

Where possible please don't allow him to see your final list of questions or hand them over prior to the interview. He deserves to be out on the spot. Id really like to see a video of this too.

Also, does he really think the public are that stupid that we can’t see the fuel poverty package as anything other than a crass attempt to distract from Sue Grey’s report, the altering of the ministerial code, and his own wrong doing?

How come you and your staff were not frightened of covid? We were all being so careful and staying part while you parties like it was 1999. Did you know something we didn’t ?

Also, as you are unfortunately actually my MP, I’d like and extra question. Are you ever planning a local surgery again? You never show your face here unless it’s for a photo op.

What change to society has your government made that you feel you will be most proud of when you look back on your time as PM?

Don’t quit - the others in opposition are even worse. Why don’t you give the hard working families a break? We just about get by because we work hard, we don’t claim benefits but our utilities bills have doubled, food has gone up, fuel has increased. Why don’t we count for anything in this society and why does the government ignore people like us (which is probably a chunk of the country)? We are not entitled to extra money with our benefits because we WORK for a living!

How many children do you actually have?

Can you honestly say you feel that it's more important to hold leaving drinks for a colleague you could see again and hold an event for after restrictions loosened than it was for the rest of the country to say goodbye to loved ones at funerals?

If not - why did you do it in the first place? Are you that weak and needy?

How much influence does the World Economic Forum have over policies that are enacted in the UK?

What are you doing about the crisis in the NHS? My father is 96 and very frail. He had to wait 8 hours for an ambulance. Then he spent 2 hours waiting outside the hospital, sitting in the ambulance. I was not allowed to go with him, and he felt scared and alone. Do you agree that this situation is unacceptable, and if so what are you going to do about it?

Why should we obey any laws that the government sets, when the government clearly don't respect the law at all anyway?

Johnson quitting doesn't give a Labour government. The Tory's surely must have someone better than Johnson from the 300 MPs they have. If they don't then Johnson is the least of their worries.

Why oh why oh why.
Just talking to my wall there, Shirley Valentine style.

Why have you spent any time at all discussing reinstating Imperial measurements when actually the UK population are desperate for financial help with the current economic crisis?

Q. for Mumsnet - why are you bothering?
We all know he is incapable of telling the truth.

@RhiannonEMumsnet - if only we had an up-vote or like function for things like this it would make your job a lot easier.

Seems to me that so far there are just 4 or 5 questions people have, with the main one, quite rightly, being "how fucking dare you?"

Are you a ‘do as I do’ kind of Dad, or ‘do as I say’?

And how does this influence your role as PM, and vice versa?

What are you going to do to protect female rights, single sex spaces, hospital wards, prisons, toilets, changing rooms, support groups, asking for female practitioners etc.
