It can't be denied, sunak, did do things for people who were struggling, when he was chancellor, starmer, intends to make things even worse and harder for the millions of people IN Britain, who are still struggling, great guy, but but, he will make sure that at the tax payers expense, he will secure his financial future

The sheer chicanery, the state that nearly 2 decades of labour leadership left our finances in, and hier starmer has the cheek to talk about balancing books. Tories & labourites need to be removed from parliament, then the lords.

Why is he allowed to keep saying 22B when Sunak could fact check him with.... that includes the pay increases you just agreed to. Or are other independent reports wrong on that?

Dear Independent.... do you really think that the British Public are so stupid? Anyone who has been observing what's happening in this country of late... can see that this is all pure theatre. Both parties have the same agenda, , Dear Independent... your reporting is far from 'independent'. Pathetic.

Release prisoners that actually done crime then arrest people for making comments don't make no sense build more houses for people who are not from here when there's homeless British people need help

I’m sure vulnerable elderly people will appreciate the extra money, not too sure they can use it 6ft under cold and buried …….. I’m sure excess death reporting will paint a dark picture of how little he values them, I truly hope it’s a warm winter

Isn't it the speakers job to make the PM actually answer the questions. Democracy at its finest.😮

Why Can’t these politicians answer a simple question why do they have to go around questions and be telling lies

originaljammo

Of course they're in a position to criticise. They're the official opposition. Get used to it.
