MNHQ here: Got a question for Rishi Sunak?

4 replies

Hi there,

We’re pleased to tell you that next week, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak will be answering questions from Mumsnet users in a written Q+A.

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 deleting questions that are repeated multiple times). We'll make sure we cover the topics that we know are important to Mumsnet users. As it’s a written Q+A without a chance for follow ups, please do include as much detail as you’d like in your questions.

We'll be closing this thread at 1pm on Sunday, so do get your questions in before that - and watch this space to hear the PM’s responses!

Thanks,
MNHQ

Hi all,
We have certainly invited Keir Starmer (at one point I was going to the W Midlands to interview him but it got called off) - I'd imagine they were worried about the "ming vase". We've also invited Ed Davey to answer your questions during this campaign, but as yet only Rishi Sunak has taken us up on the offer. And yes we did ask for the opportunity to put questions to him in person but were told he could only fit in a written Q+A. My read on the answers fwiw, particularly the personal ones, is that he would have written those himself and he certainly would have had oversight and sign off on the others.

It's always difficult to narrow the list down to just ten questions and I know it's frustrating if yours doesn’t get picked. We try to pick a selection that reflects the issues that are important to Mumsnet users but also cover things that the PM might not get asked elsewhere. There are limitations to every format but as is proved amply on this thread the idea that anyone gets an easy ride is simply not true.

Justine

We will probably find out in due course, that Mrs Sunak has some connection to MN. Remember she has shares in that Koru Kids organisation who got a contract from government. Sunak’s are always on the take.

Erm, no we categorically won't!

Labour or the Lib Dems would be flooded with questions on trans people from the FWR board. Why would they come on here?

yes I'm sure that's a factor though we do have rules around not continuing to focus on a single issue and we would enforce them
