"Bless his cotton socks" | PMQs Analysed | LBC

James O’Brien and LBC’s Political Editor, Natasha Clark, analyse this week's PMQs as Rishi Sunak faced Sir Keir Starmer.
After MP Dan Poulter defected from the Tories to the Labour Party, Starmer pressed Sunak to admit that he's 'utterly failed'. The Labour Leader also accused the PM of 'playing fantasy economic', while Sunak argued that Labour are just trying to add 'tax after tax'.
'Jonathan Gullis not only failing to understand simple words but his own government's policy'
'Bless his cotton socks'
'Nobody beyond the Westminster bubble knew he was'
'He was known as Tory Dan'
'It's arguably his biggest weakness at the moment'
'They've sensed a chink in the Tory armour'
'It didn't really land'
'He was surprisingly upbeat'
'Maybe he's looking forward to a long holiday'
'You can usually feel the Tory rebellion brewing'
'This is the last point they could point towards to as a reason for getting rid of him'

A planet the size of Mars long ago hit earth and this planet was mostly Iron The collision titled earth on its axis and both Planets fused giving earth enough of an iron core to generate a magnetic field which now protect its surface from solar radiation... Quite something. And the remnants of that collision also coalesced to form the Moon and the moon holds earth's 23° axis tilt in place which gave rise to seasons and all the wide varieties of life around you. Coincidences happen. Also Vanessa Feltz is not Sangitas replacement she is just new and taking on a different slot.. Ali Miraj is replacing sangita. Take care 🌍
