The new Home Secretary hasn't had the best week, and Keir Starmer made sure today wasn't going to be any better. #pmqs
James Cleverly is attacked over and over by Keir Starmer, who points to his "shithole" comment in the House last week, and his attempts to step away from current Tory policy.

Halved inflation ?

We rely on immigration to pick fruit/veg, care for us when sick or injured, care for us for when we’re elderly, drive our buses/trains the list goes on. Without immigration our country ceases to exist just the same as any other country. You make immigration sound like they’re not welcome here, they have no right to live or work/pay their taxes pay their way in society or to start a family. Those who come here aren’t just here for a free home, free money, free life they’re here because they want a better life for themselves or for their family away from war torn countries where they can feel safe. Put yourself in their shoes for a second I’m sure you wouldn’t appreciate someone being unwelcoming & pretty much heartless such as yourself, when escaping terror in your own country that you don’t want to leave but have no choice but to for your own safety. But for you to sit there and pass judgement like that just shows how little you understand immigration and how little class you have as a person. There are 2 types of immigration 1 : An economic migrant who travels from one country to another to improve their standards of living. An immigrant is : is someone who comes to live permanently in a foreign country. If you can’t understand the difference between the 2 then there’s something wrong with you. Either way there’s nothing wrong with foreign people coming to our country because they want to work pay taxes pay their way it’s not hard to understand🤷‍♀️💁🏾‍♀️. They stay in hotels because our government uses them as scapegoats for their failures and don’t want immigrants to work because then our government loses the argument right there. This isnt about immigration & them taking our jobs, homes getting a free handout this about our government trying to take away our human rights!! Even Braverman said it if you didn’t hear it then turn your hearing aid on what government are saying and trying to do to us by taking our human rights away!!

It contains a reminder to buy another box of suppositories on his way home.

I don't know why Starmer doesn't fire back about the 100 billion pounds of wasted or questionable expenditure.

[@carolinemccarneyfinn]

Bye rishi

[@brianm.9062]

sunak gets his hit backs from the past and researchers, he says nothing of the now because he has nothing to say, nothing to give and no one to turn to. Sunak is on his way out at last.

[@robertrollins4245]

Rinsed! 😂😂😂😂😂

[@peterrideout8910]

Sunak is a snake

[@Lynn.hot.legs.peters]

The quote Sunak made from Starma was made when Sunak was 8 years old lmfao though Sunak was going to cry in question time lol. Enough is Enough !!!!!!

[@Onthemove6801]

At every PMQs on Wednesday, Penny Mordant looks as if its her time of the month. Surely she can't be suffering every week.

[@user-hh8tf4tb9q]

James Cleverely no longer sitting behind Rishi, hopefilly not to close to a microphone. Whenever he appears doing the media round the question of stockton will everyones first question.

[@duncantodd1267]

Needs to get after Cleverly every week. The mans a disgrace.

[@StuartRyde-uu1tx]

Look when Sunak is sat down. He knows he's finished. Just a whimpering little turd ready for the flush.

[@PKP1]

Starmer on 🔥 someone call the 🚒

[@sarahakin8115]

Rishi and cleverly clutching their bottoms because they just got served a big fat spanking 😭😂😂

[@ConkerKing]

Starmer on fire !!!

[@jcanyiam8309]

Sir Keir Starmer is putting the FUN back into PMQs- He is coming out with great ONE-LINERS!!! He is LOOKING more Like a PM than the CURRENT incumbent!!! (Sunak: NIL - Starmer: WON)

[@starmersbarber]

Starmer on very good form today...and I'm notoriously difficult to please!

[@robertalker652]

Despise the Tories, but despise smugness too. The whole UK Parliament is a freaking joke and insult to all Britons.

You don't understand Democracy. Maybe you'd prefer a Dictatorship?

@@jonathanfell688 I think he maybe just means that there are better ways to organise debate and consensus in a modern democracy than the first-past-the-post system and the screaming match of the House of Commons.

[@robertalker652]

@@jonathanfell688 I understand your frustration, and therefore your point. On any given day, I might express the same. But politicians of all stripes are too obsessed with fighting the political fight rather than fighting the fight for their constituents.

[@robertalker652]

@@shiftertron6143 Precisely. It is the prevailing screaming match that most western societies are confronted with, and greatly worsened by monied politics.

Cleverly doesn’t need Starmer to make him look like a fool!!

[@vincentbrannelly8786]

CHECK THE TAPE AGAIN ! Priceless mockery of Cleverley .

[@fusionfan6883]

Yes pay rises because people have been crushed by 13 years of austerity yet the public coffers are still dry! Come on Tories, tax the rich a little more, tax crazy utility profits and lower vat, because those measures will help ordinary people who have suffered so egregiously under your disastrous rule.
