Prime minsters questions

I watched Prime Ministers questions yesterday and he never answered a single question. How does he get away with it. He shows he is a lawyer not a politician. The speaker should intervene.

I thought the same thing Sheila, my understanding is that members of Parliament ask the PM questions, then the PM is supposed to answer said questions. The Speaker should have intervened yesterday and reminded the PM what the session was all about. Total waste of space the whole lot of them.

I have to say that Reform’s new MP is quite a breath of fresh air, she knows her stuff, apparently she was a Magistrate for quite a number of years, I thought her question yesterday was a very good one, Starmer, of course, didn’t answer it.

I’m glad you noticed Liz, he is unbelievable and is getting away with it. I think we are sliding into George Orwell’s vision of the future. 1984 (later but worrying) and Animal Farm.

Why dont the Labour MP's rise up against Starmer? and get him OUT.
Do they not realise he really is the most useless Minister we've ever had.He is just a JOKE and Leaders in other countries know this.

Who do you think will replace him Norman. Not a lot of choice on the front bench.

How many Prime Minister's and MPs DO answer a question directly? I would say none. As Liz says total waste of space all of them.

I have yet to see a Prime Minister actually ask the question asked instead we always get an answer consisting of various soundbites regardless of political affiliation, it's a waste of time they could actually be working.

MPs are great at not answering questions, it comes with the job, over the years PMQs is no longer a question and answer session, Starmer is one of the worst at not answering questions, it’s about time the Speaker told the PM that during these sessions the PM must answer the questions asked, otherwise what is the point.

I agree mind you I can think of a few that run him close. It's a waste of time, if we got straight answers we'd probably pass out from shock.
