Whatever your politics the

interview with
@Keir_Starmer
served no purpose. Yes, politicians should be challenged but they should be listened to. Every time Starmer tried to answer the question he was immediately ‘talked over’. Then some will say Starmer says nothing.
It’s a deceitful man who said today “We invented the Vaccine”. It’s a desperate man who hides behind a vaccine programme delivered by an underfunded NHS and volunteers. It’s a deluded man who still thinks slogans beat pandemics. It's a despicable man responsible for excess deaths

The Chancellor sadly hit the nail on the head this morning. 'All of us in Cabinet work for the Prime Minister'. True. The point is you are supposed to work for the people...

I recognise you can’t force Sunak to answer the questions Mr Speaker. But you can ensure at least he sticks to the point and remind him of the actual question! Remind him to speak to you not his backbench! Remind him it’s his job to answer questions and not be asking them!

So it’s over. RIP. Remember it’s not Monarchists or Republicans that have the UK in the mess it's in. It’s not all those who chose to quietly show their respect for whatever reason. It’s the Tory Party. If you care for the Country removing them should be the absolute priority.

Perhaps a Vote of No Confidence in Mr Speaker later? In the interest of accountability and transparency could we actually have some answers from the Prime Minister for a change? No rants that bear no relation to the question? The people need answers not just politicians.

Mr Speaker, how about trying a new concept at

. Perhaps the Prime Minister might answer a question rather than respond with a question of his own. And soundbites aren’t really an answer. Perhaps a modicum, a mere hint, of accountability? Bit pointless otherwise eh?
With all due respect to all involved. Is nobody in Westminster going to demand that the disgusting filth that responded to the issue of a family's grief, by dismissing it as 'Westminster Bubble', be dragged back by his filthy bollocks and apologise to the family and to humanity?
Nobody can deliver a lie. This unelected bloke's 'deal' blew one foot off the Country. Now he takes aim at the other by threatening to invoke Article 16. An unelected Lord is defining the future of your children and grandchildren. Taking Back Control? Global Laughing Stock!
The mask’s slipped. He isn’t a jovial bit of a buffoon. He isn’t the bloke you meet down the pub good for a laugh. He doesn’t fight the Establishment. He doesn’t get things done unless it benefits himself. Surrounded by sleaze. Corroded by corruption. The darling of the deluded.

Many members of the bizarrely named European Research Group are also members of the equally bizarre Covid Recovery Group. Both Groups totally ignore the Experts. Their personal agendas are the same. Both Groups have battered Public Health. Both have battered British Business...
Dusk falls on Little England. The Day is Done, the ‘Deal’ is Done and the Country is Done. No blame on EU now. No blame on Labour. No blame on Remain. Those who caused it own it. Tomorrow is literally a new Dawn, a new day, so seize the day! Hold them to account every single day.

Braverman was sacked for putting UK Security at risk and reappointed in days as Sunak is scared of the

. Anderson was appointed by Sunak to provide rancid rhetoric to divert from all the Tory failures. Speech is not free when it leads to hate crime. Actions have consequences.
The whole world is looking on at the self-destruction of a nation. We are in absolutely no position to get any global ‘trade deals’ where it might be ‘win-win’. None. Morally bankrupt. Financially bankrupt. Visionary bankrupt. Honesty bankrupt. Rationally bankrupt.
#PeopleFirstUK
They sold Brexit as fighting the ‘Establishment’. This unelected bloke's 'deal' blew one foot off the Country. Now he takes aim at the other by threatening to invoke Article 16. An unelected Lord defining the future of the UK. Taking Back Control? Taking the Piss!
Far too much happening under the radar. The lurch to the right under the ERG controlled Truss Government has now become completely obscene. Jenkyns and Gullis given positions in the Department for Education should be of serious concern for every parent in the Country. Chilling.
A bloke in

@NadineDorries
World leaders quietly get on with the job. World leaders don't have to lie to their Parliament or their people. World leaders don’t put obstacles in the path of those fleeing war. World leaders don’t need a flag to hide behind. World leaders don’t bleat ‘We are world leading’...
If the Brexit Bugling MPs didn’t read the Brexit ‘WA’ and voted for it they should resign. If they did read it and voted for it then they own it. Every ‘patriotic’ comma, every ‘sovereign’ full stop. No good bleating and blaming the EU now! So pathetic, embarrassing and cowardly.
No.10 putting the Army on standby to replace hauliers. Some choose to put it down to incompetent handling of Covid ‘easing’. Some choose to put it down to the Brexit effect. Some recognise it's probably both but largely Brexit. Whatever you choose you can't dispute who caused it.
Only two years ago today Gavin Williamson was sacked following the leaking of confidential National Security Council information. He also dined with Lubov Chernukhin, wife of a former Putin minister, in exchange for a £30,000 donation to the Tory party. Good CV for Education eh?
For the hard of thinking, the reality. Macron, along with many leaders placed a ban on UK travel to protect his citizens. And he was the first to ease it. Today travellers from the USA arrived on a Virgin flight and entered the UK with no tests or checks at all. Ponder that!
Instead of 'flirting' with saying it daily the UK media should just say it out loud. ‘They were right!’. Why does it matter today? Because the same people who sold the lie to take us out of the EU are the same people in power trashing the UK today.

The Question was Rape Mr Speaker. Rape. Why allow Johnson to bang out soundbites on vaccinations? Where is the connection? Same every week with the last 'question'. Yet again you facilitate him getting away unaccountably while knowing Starmer couldn't return to the despatch box.
Our 1st vaccine was discovered by German scientists of Turkish descent at BioNtech. 2nd by an Anglo-Swedish company with massive input from Irish scientists. The success of the roll-out has little to do with

Where we need Education we get Williamson. Where we need Trade we get Truss. Where we need Health we get Javid. Where we need unity at Home we get Patel. Where we need safe Housing we get 3-homes Jenrick. Where we need Truth we get Johnson. Still unsure what we got Gove for...
Johnson tells the Cabinet to come up with ‘ideas’ for UK development post Brexit or be sacked. Effectively a Brexit Suggestion Box. Come on Gove, Truss, Villiers, Raab etc get your thinking caps on! The Nation's finest! Oh my aching sides!
After 5 years I have seen nothing those who advocated Remain said that hasn’t come true. There was no Project Fear. It’s Project Reality. Be it Travel or Trade. Be it Services or Security. Be it Fishing or Farming. Be it Borders or Business. An ideology of destruction.

Many unaware of the implications of yesterday as the media have hardly shown it. The significant part was not the Johnson rants. It was the silence. The pause after leading Johnson to self-incriminate on the record before Starmer quietly said... 'We will leave that there for now'
For decades I have lauded, supported and promoted the ‘United’ Kingdom. I can no longer, rationally, do so. I wish all the nationalist parties the best of luck. A United Ireland also. We lose our place of influence at the highest table in Europe. Why should they?

It’s not gone away nor will it until Johnson goes. Rules for them and rules for us ran rampant. The Sue Gray Report will be released in full. UK people still choosing between heating or eating. The evidence of Russian money buying Influence on the Tory Party gets even deeper.
Irrelevant if you support Starmer or you don’t. This could could not be clearer... "I don't criticise the speaker ... the deputy speaker for what she did, she was following the rules. But do I support Dawn in what she said? I absolutely do."...

Did you hear about the country where they will not have held a true General Election for a decade? Where unelected spin doctors define policy? Where rejected ex-MPs are given a seat in the House of Lords? All supported by at least 80% of their Media? And the people tolerate it!
Alok Sharma born in Agra. James Cleverly’s mother from Sierra Leone. Sajid Javid’s family Punjabi farmers, father a bus driver, mother didn’t speak English. Priti Patel’s Parents, Ugandan Asians came and set up a newsagents. And others. They thrived here. Why the Hypocrisy?
The lady on the left has no ego, is pragmatic, listens, understands. She understands Johnson’s agenda precisely. The ego on the right is a one-trick pony. Which is probably best as he is incapable of understanding. He hasn’t really a clue what the lady on the left will do next...
You expect those hauliers who left due to your Brexit to queue up to come back? You expect those hauliers we still have to work extra hours unsafely? You think the skills required of a haulier can be picked up automatically by prisoners? You are truly off your head...

We left the EU. You haven’t and never could deliver the Brexit you promised. It’s 100% a Tory ‘Brexit’. You sold the lie, signed the lie, lauded the lie, gained power because of the lie. So have the balls to own it, wear it and wallow in it. You clearly didn’t read it.

Revised Forecast: Johnson will not last 3 years never mind 5. The MSM already challenging him. So much so quickly. His repeated absence at critical times. The influence of Cummings and the Complicit Cabinet. The absurd ‘points system’. U-turns, Bullying, It goes on and on…
