PMQ - Boris v Starmer - Spider And The Fly

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

This must be BJ's most feared hour of his week. And all the bluff and bluster in the world won't save him from the forensic scrutiny of Starmer. Must be absolutely terrifying politicallyvwhen there's nowhere to hide and nowhere to deflect

 

[Mellotron]

No way on earth Johnson will be the Tory candidate come the next General Election. 2-3 or so years of being skewered weekly will do for him imo.

Agreed, the total incompetence and ineptitude in the last few weeks has done for him I'm afraid, and I voted for the dick.

Do you regret not voting for Corbyn?

 

[Deadly Danson]

Starmer is excellent. Just what Labour and this country needed. Forensic, fair but determined and clear. No hiding place for the blustering fools any more.

Perhaps another interesting question is whether anyone who voted in the leadership contest regrets voting for Johnson instead of Hunt ?

In a nutshell, no!

I should have just abstained.

When we have a crisis , it`s a good time to be in opposition !

Another politics thread!

Agreed, but Johnson needs to get his finger on the pulse and fecking quick, Rushi Sunak seems to be rising to the top of the barrel.

Yup, and properly Prefixed as such

I'm not a member of the Conservative party so did not vote for Johnson either but come on . . . Jeremy Hunt !!!
Less waving of the arms than Boris admittedly but is he really any better ? He hasn't exactly covered himself in glory during this, or any other, NHS crisis.
I think Keir Starmer will walk the next election.

 

[jamie (not that one)]

Starmer really looks like he means business and I can't see the absurdity of Johnson, Gove et al being able for it.

Good time for the Conservatives to look towards the Rory Stewarts and Rushi Sunaks in the party.

All in all, good for the UK.

Actually I disagree. When we have a crisis, if you handle it well, it's a great time to be in power and show your leadership and clear thinking.

Hunt in charge during a pandemic with his reputation in the NHS

I find the whole political landscape so ****ing depressing - the GE choice between BJ and JC was just awful, and BJ had no real competition within his own party..........however, impressed with Starmer so far and his calm, forensic approach - he's shooting fish in a barrel at the moment though, all he needs is to be on top of the data to cut through the bluster. BJ is going to get repeatedly skewered as it's the antithesis of how he operates.

This - if it forces the Tories away from populists and towards competents, that is good for everyone.

Starmer v Stewart or Sunak and I don't think I'd actually mind too much who won, in the grand scheme of things.

They've already looked at Rory Stewart - clever, but just a little too weird!
