Angela Rayner schooled by Conservative Alex Burghart | PMQs

[@kenhardy8405]

I was very impressed with Alex he expressed himself with confidence and knowledge of the situation.

[@hoa3512]

Really? Sounded like a tory pointing the finger at a government trying to fix the issues they caused in the first place… then point another finger at what labour is doing to help.. pretty easy to see here. The problem with people like is..: your long term memory fails you.

I agree. Unlike Raynor he acquitted himself very well.

Even an amateur economist can see debt at around 100% of GDP is not a great position to be in. That'd be the legacy of 14 years of Tory pilfering.

[@barrypodmore]

Apparently the "amateur economist" couldn't see it as she says she was surprised by the "black hole" face it - the woman is out of her depth and if she had any decency or scruples she would resign. I see she has now altered her career history on linkedin. Tory pilfering? Don't go there unless you want to discuss Lord Ali and his "donations"

People have noticed the lack of straight answers. People have noticed Starmer's arrogant one word responses and tone deaf put downs. People have noticed the contempt the left is showing for anyone who has worked hard and preserved their wealth sensibly. The attack lines used here are spot on but you need to get the message out there. Main stream media is in Labour's pocket so you need to do what Trump did and get your message across in the alt media space. Do that and we can keep the damage to one term.
