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

What is your favourite Abba song?

*Your not you’re

Would he be willing to take a narcotics test?

Not sure he actually knows the answer.

Yep!

Daddy or chips?

To save time here is what he will say, in no particular order:

• I have already expressed my regret for xxxx, it is now time to move on.
• you make a very valid point, I will see that that is investigated.
• when the conservatives came to power xxx had suffered from years of Labour mismanagement, it takes time to set things right.
• I Never said that.
• I’m sorry you feel that way.
• Here’s a feeble play on words around the name Keir Starmer.
• aaa aaa aaa um er waffle waffle.

Was this your plan all along?
negotiating & signing a Brexit deal that benefits no one apart from probably a few of the elites putting the Conservative party before country & wilfully jeopardising the GFA, day by day you are dragging this country into a cesspit of nothing but lies & corruption you have crossed the lines so many times yet you are still here, you & your government are truly beyond contempt shame on you.

How do you feel about Scotland wishing another independence referendum?

Does he have any plans to re-instate widow’s pensions? They’ve been scrapped, with a (very) little short term help, leaving bereaved parents to manage on one income indefinitely. That seems deeply unfair given that the deceased partner had paid into a system and no can longer use it, and that widowed parents don’t even get (for example) married persons tax benefits. At the very least, he could give us their tax allowance and put us on a somewhat level playing field with a couple.

This is probably one of the few questions he WILL answer.🙄

Is it true that you described yourself as "the fucking Fuhrer"? Do you think this is an appropriate way for the head of the UK government to describe themselves?

What's happened with the bulldozers? What about the climate emergency will be better when Heathrow 3 goes ahead?

Having asked my question, which most definitely won't be answered in a satisfactory manner, it is very brave of Boris Johnson to venture near MN, so at least some respect for that. Not hugely though, so don't get carried away.

What do you think are the most important qualities in good constituency MPs and is their principal loyalty to their constituents or to the PM?

Why didn't you apologise to Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe for the ineptitude with which you handled her case both when you were Foreign Secretary and later when you were Prime Minister? She and her family have paid a huge price for it.

It isn't brave of him. He believes he can brush off questions here in the way he does everywhere else.

WTF?

What is the government going to do about the transport strikes? Why can't we have a working transport for those of us who are working?

Please name one tangible benefit from Brexit that has made this country better off than it was before and that could not have happened while we remained within the EU?

Not brave at all. Rishi was given a very easy time with the questions, Boris will get the same. 🙄

Just wanted to add support to the previous dentistry questions that have been asked, my DC haven’t seen a dentist since pre-covid, their dentist went private and I’ve been on a waiting list for an NHS dentist for them ever since.

Would also like to know what is being done to keep private rents at reasonable prices.
We are currently overcrowded in an apartment in a city but can’t afford anything bigger as the prices have risen beyond what we can reasonably afford! (I work Full time too, it shouldn’t be this hard!)

Why didn't you expect the EU to apply the NI protocol that you agreed?
Do you care so little about the GFA?

Does it matter to you that you will go down in history as Britain’s worst Prime Minister ever?

Do you ever wonder if it would be good for Britain for you to stand aside in favour of someone competent?

Do you have a dictionary and if so why haven’t you looked up “leadership”?

You forgot "I think what people (MNetters) really want to know is ..."

I would also like to know if he thinks people don't see through the cynical Ukrainian visa scam where one family member's visa is withheld to stop them coming? www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2022/may/29/homes-for-ukraine-children-stuck-waiting-for-uk-visa-decision
