UK Government Performance 2019-2024

Waste of PMQ’s though repeating the same question constantly, there’s not going to be any different answer than “wait for the inquiry”

That's what happens when a PM stubbornly refuses to do what's expected of him and employs a cheap delaying tactic.

Exactly, and the inquiry will be worded in such a way that it absolves him of any direct responsibility.

I'm not sure the Tories will oust him...

That was great from David Davis!

I am not familiar with that quotation.

 

[Mr Jack]

I am not familiar with that quotation.

So much for that classical education.

Not often I'll cheer David Davis.

 

[gettothechopper]

whoa events!

Indeed. Doesn't know the rules and doesn't know one of the most famous parliamentary quotations. Perhaps he is an idiot after all.

didn't Johnson write a book on Churchill?

What did 'I don't need a pen' David Davis do?

 

[Mr Jack]

As MPs leave the chamber after PMQs, the microphone distinctly picked up someone muttering "what a [Richard]".

What did 'I don't need a pen' David Davis do?

He called for Johnson to quit, quoting Amery's famous parliamentary cry of "You have sat too long here for any good you have been doing. Depart, I say, and let us have done with you. In the name of God, go" given just before Chamberlain was replaced.

Edit: Seeing a replay he skipped the middle part and said "You have sat there too long for the good you have done. In the name of God, go".

A very bad one by all account.

 

[Noxia]

Did anyone else hear the "what a dick" comment as they were leaving?

Edit: I see Mr Jack did lol.

As much as I wish this was true, I think it was the speaker saying 'what a day' in his thick accent.

 

[Mr Jack]

No, I'm pretty confident that wasn't the speaker and that the last word wasn't "day".

Hmm... I've listened to it a few times now. Might have been the speaker, but I still can't make the last word "day".

 

[Freakbro]

Sounds like 'what a day' by the speaker to me tbh

 

[Lucifurr]

I am sure it was the speaker saying "what a day"

 

[Noxia]

Could be either tbh, I can hear both words depending what I focus on. Probably not the most important part of the session mind.

Fair enough. I'm probably wrong then.

Serious Boris was not in the HoC today.

[Mr Jack]

Oh, and Boris's claims about record employment are untrue. Employment in the UK is lower than pre-pandemic:

A delicious moment

He took a pay cut to be PM. Also he has creditable authorship of several books he won't need a ghost writer.

Sure he didn't plagiarise those books? Nothing would surprise me, including getting someone else to ghost his autobiography so he doesn't have to bother. Boris is a master at getting someone else to do all the work while he claims the credit. I know about the pay cut (after he got sacked from his other jobs for lying), because apparently he's been complaining about it since day one, and he can't wait to get out of No 10 so he can really start cashing in. He's got a <unknown number> of kids to support along with his expensive tastes.
