Granny Danger Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 This is pretty shocking tbh. Still funny mind you. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/labour-members-suspended-jeremy-corbyn-motion-bristol-b1722437.html Starmer must think he can completely silence the Labour left. All this will do will keep the tensions to the fore and in the public eye. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bully Wee Villa Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 I've no idea whether he did. But, in any case, no edition of Prime Minister's Question Time has every made even the vaguest difference to an election, ever. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PMQs is the one time when opposition leaders can show if they are up to the task or not. A weak performance is seen as weak leadership. Repeated often enough and lots of people reach their own conclusions on whether someone is fit to be prime minister, regardless of whatever subjects are being debated. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Wee Villa Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 Other than political obsessives who always know how they're going to vote anyway, I can't remember anyone ever mentioning PMQs to me. Maybe they might if it was on in the evening rather than the middle of the working day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Closet Tories to a man imo, and never read a manifesto in their lives. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the same time I tend to find people that overly care about PMQs care more about the pageantry of politics than the material impact. Not about PMQs but on the people who have that mindset, on the stakes of parliament and the point of engaging, and any excuse to share one of my favourite Mark Fisher passages. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tuned in a fair whack in the early days of the coalition when I was like 18 and thought that watching this shit was how to be clever. Sitting watching some guy dressed up to look like Postman Pat doing a skit to explain the ramifications of the Royal Mail sell off.Basically I was this tweet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wee-Bey Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 Bobby Gillespie nailed it with regards to This Week. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 (edited) 23 minutes ago, Henderson to deliver ..... said: nailed it with regards to This Week. Saw that, couldn't remember who it was. Heroic. Quote At the end of the show, which makes frequent references to Neil’s apparent taste for ‘Blue Nun’ wine, the three recreated a dance craze known as ‘skibidi’, while Gillespie looked on stony faced. He wrote: “My line of reasoning was that here in the U.K. we are not progressing but regressing back to the social inequalities of the 1930’s due to the failure of 40 years of Free Market Capitalism, and tying that in with the rise of Fascism in Europe & all over the world. “I was immediately cut off by Andrew Neil who quickly handed the question over to Michael Portillo. I never got to say what I fully wanted, my impression was that Andrew Neil sensed an alternative opinion that he didn’t want to hear and closed me down. I found him to be arrogant, rude & smug.” Gillespie went on to say that the attitude of the production team on the show towards him had ‘changed’ after he indicated he wouldn’t take part in the dancing segment at the end of the show. He added: “After it finished, the Labour M.P. Caroline Flint joined Michael Portillo, Andrew Neil & the Producer / crew as they cracked open the Champagne ( or Wine? ) and toasted each other, it was a sickening sight.” Edited November 16, 2020 by welshbairn 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Jean King Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 Leonard takes his usual 10m to deliver a Q at FMQ regarding some woman who has booked a holiday to Tenerife saying she was confused by the new regs coming in tomorrow and should she go. He's fully expecting a firm "no one should be travelling abroad at this time" as NS gets to her feet to tell Leonard the same woman has also written to NS and she has replied to her that due to her particular circumstances she can go and enjoy her well earned rest. He looked genuinely deflated like a balloon going down. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
