"We fucked up the economy now how are Labour going to fix it?" - The Tories at every PMQs from now till 2029.
PMQs has the effect of revealing how irrelevant these Labour mini-scandals. Sunak makes a weak joke about Sue Gray and employment rights. Starmer just has to repeat โyou guys left us a steaming car crashโ six times.
UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer left PMQs largely unscathed. But how did he manage to keep his edge over probing Conservative leader Rishi Sunak? Read below in our weekly-run through ๐
The PM was probed on his economic promises โ and managed to largely escape unscathed.
Apparently Woodcock is still in place, pro tem, as adviser, cotrary to several reports earlier. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/live/2024/oct/09/conservatives-leadership-james-cleverly-robert-jenrick-kemi-badenoch-pmqs-keir-starmer-uk-politics-latest-news
Another narrative shift for Starmer and the government at PMQs. Less talk of the past. Relentless positivity. Talking about "investment pouring in", things already improving etc. A problem of the govt so far is it hasn't stuck to any one framing. Let's see if this one lasts. x.com/lewis_goodal...
First time Iโve actually missed the dreaded X. Are used to love being able to trawl thro comments about PMQs and itโs harder to do that here.
Instead of watching PMQs I went for a long, muddy hike ending in a country pub with a pint in front of a log fire.
First PMQs since nonexistent scandal and small scale personnel change!!!!!!
