Why is it that after all these years, Jeremy Corbyn is still living rent-free inside Sunak's head?

[@WebToolkit]

Because Corbyn is the only person that Sunak feels like he has a comfortable attack strategy against. He's operating on years old software and no one at conservative HQ seems to be able to convince him to update.

[@Everymanplease]

Guy Fawkes wanted to blow up the protestant James 1st at the opening of Parliament and spark a revolt to restore Catholic rule. The conspirators were attempting to nip nascent democracy in the bud and re-establish priest-ridden autocratic rule. The English people at the time were far from celebrating Fawkes's aims and have burnt him in efiigy ever since. Quite right too.

Seems to be a British thing media never call out lies uttered by most MPs when questioned, I think every bench in HoC should be wired up to a lie detector and very closely monitored, when a lie is detected they should be called out immediately and removed. By the end of PMQs probably find very few people left. But something needs to be done to hold these people responsible for their lies and lack of integrity.

PMQs is an absolute waste of time. The speaker doesn't actually force anyone to answer the question asked so they basically just stand up and take turns shouting at each other. Of course it would work a lot better if the conservatives actually had any kind of responses, but they know they don't really have any way to defend their actions, so they choose instead to just deflect. It was better when they had just got into power and they were actually defending their choices because they were actually defensible acts, even if they were disagreeable.
