Parliament is mostly a theatre of the absurd. This has become particularly obvious during that weekly event which is called PMQ’S – Prime Minister’s Questions.
Now this is supposed to be a time where members of the house get to ask questions of the Prime Minister and thus hold him to account. It seems a great example of an open democracy. Under Keir Starmer, this is no longer the situation. He evades every question asked of him and in doing so defeats the purpose of the exercise and I would like to present you with several examples of this which happened yesterday.
First, Conservative Leader Kemi Badenoch asked a very simple question. Had Keir Starmer spoken directly to Peter Mandelson before appointing him. Here is the answer…
Yes, that’s right. A total evasion. He babbles about “process” and then “the war”
Then, another Conservative backbencher tried again…
Again, same response. It’s the war.
Nigel Farage asked an imminently sensible question on protecting UK energy prices. Can you guess the answer?
Yes, it’s the war.
Starmer has obviously been briefed that the majority of British people do NOT support the US-Israeli action on Iran (shamefully) and so he thinks that he can use his cowardice to attack the Conservatives and Reform. It’s amazing in a way because even as President Trump brings the nature of the special relationship into question, Starmer appears proud of his detonation it.
I know we have had more than a few rotten Prime Minister’s but Starmer is the absolute dregs. He evades all questions on his contact with Peter Mandelson, hides behind “process” and then luxuriate in his cowardice. That’s quite a feat.
I have never despised a Prime Minister as much as I despise Starmer.
His evasions were noticed by many yesterday and it was brought to the attention of Mr Speaker. His response was that he couldn’t control the nature of the answers given during Prime Minister’s Questions. The institution is rotten to the core.
