“Can I just say to the prime minister, it’s not opposition questions, it’s prime minister’s questions.”

Lindsay Hoyle is just like a supply teacher trying to control a class of disruptive year 9s at the end of term

I'll do the work that Times Radio didn't.
In this clip, Lindsay Hoyle had to bring to order:
- Sunak 2 times
- Labour backbenchers 2 times
- Tory backbenchers 6 times

Not once had he to bring Keir Starmer to order.
Times Radio lying here...

These Members seem to be more interested in the gotchyas and zingers than giving substantial answers and criticisms.

The wrath of Leslie Hoyle…like being savaged by a sheep.

Why can't Stephen Flynn be leader of the opposition? I get that his party doesn't have the most seats, but the man's relentless! Does such a better job of calling the other parties out & holding them to account

[SamLowryDZ-]

Sunack has such contempt for proceedings and the rules of the house - he should be held in contempt the next time he tries to ask a question instead giving an answer.

Hold On Sunak its Summer things generally improve in the NHS lets see when winter is back upon us!

[midlandgeordie]

He let Johnson and now Sunak get away with so much avoiding questions and lying that he has lost control and respect.
The PM must answer the questions not ask them!!

All the self righteous nodding from Tories as Sunak tells Starmer that NHS waiting list failures are due to strike action... I wonder who has responsibility for ensuring National Health Service employees get a decent pay deal, with adequate staffing levels and a plan for waiting lists... their government of thirteen years, no less! What planet are the Tories on?

[TheBigears]

Sunak is just not up to the job. A complete waster!

[virtualmonk]

Better than the industrial inaction of this government ❤

[DarkhorseSJ]

Like a bunch of kids waiting for the bell to ring on summer holidays...are these really the people supposedly dedicated to governing our nation?

"The plans are working" 3 weeks ago l went to A&E l was placed in tier 6 . This is considered urgent l waited 39 hours for a ward bed no sleep for 2 nights the corridors were full of trolley beds and mattresses dozens sat waiting in chairs the longest time waiting has reached 72 hours. If this is working l don't know what not working looks like. (North West England large hospital).

Come back Guy Fawkes now, and do the job properly.

Still Sunak has his heated swimming pool to look forward to while he waits for replacements for those 2 cruise ships which couldn’t dock !!

[tomd]

Hoyle has only himself to blame. He made no attempt to control the mad house from the very start. Alowed Tories to lie with impunity

[martinsalkeld]

Suella braverman the nodding dog in the background 🤣

[julezpanda]

I was expecting paper airplanes and ties tied around their heads, like last day of term at school!!😂

[ECECECECEC]

I don’t see any irritation with the opposition leader, just more irritation with yet another Tory pm who believes the rules don’t apply to them.

[TheGeneReyva]

Here's an idea for PMQs. For every question that gets dodged, an MP gets fired.
