James Cleverly aims for Tory leadership and best bits from live PMQs watchalong | The Daily T

After the battles of the campaign trail, Sir Keir Starmer took to the despatch box for his first Prime Minister’s Questions as leader of the country but rather than a continuation of the fireworks with Rishi Sunak, what we got was a very measured and cordial back and forth.

Camilla and Kamal host a watchalong of a very polite PMQs and ask whether this is the start of a new political bromance...

Elsewhere, we’ve got sight of the first slick video production from a Tory leader candidate, and the Olympics are upon us! Senior Sports Writer Thom Gibb finds out how difficult Olympic sports really are.

I'd never trust the Tories again after what they did to this country. Don't care who the public figurehead is, their ideologies and reputation are rotten.

[singlendhot]

Nothing Clever about Cleverly. A total failure in his previous roles.

[stringer-ikpc]

Impresses 😂😂😂😂😂 oh dear. He cant speak without looking at his notes.

[zippy]

James cleverly, a man who sits on the fence longer than Ronsil 🤦‍♂️

[alancoates]

Cleverly, hope he get it, because everybody knows he tells lies .

[terryloftus]

Tomaney trying to pretend she is neutral when she loves the tories.

[kalpnashah]

this woman simply loves herself CT go away.

[TheInfamousAlpha]

About as impressive as a soggy biscuit

[chenosee]

James Cleverly? This man? God help United Kingdom.

[Bluejohn]

PMQ's all very nice and friendly, surprised Sunak and Starmer didn't embrace.. Cleverley for leader ?. who cares !, the Tories don't have an ounce of talent between them.

[branscombeR]

Very entertaining ... and so quiet! What a difference a thumping majority makes! R (Australia)

[KatchouroBlade]

Sir Kneeler is an awful public speaker. A toaster emotes more than this monotone bore.

[broadband]

Cleverly: completely unnecessary need for the first two syllables.

[mootedtols]

I'd bet the more important horse race is over in the US, who gives a crap who gets to lead the tories.

[markjackson]

Cleverly is a waste of time, pital or braverman

[ArjunGhag-ixte]

U must watch bbc newsnight, Wednesday, 24 July 2024, with Damien Green, trying to convince voters to back Tom Tugenhat with a vague promise to maybe leaving the echr possibly, partially, etc

[yehldyehld]

Can The Telegraph get some hosts that don't have nasal congestion?

[nicksmith]

I remember Pompey's ex-owner Milan Mandaric sending Rupert Lowe a duck

[andrewrose]

He had an easy run. Hopefully the standard response of 14 years mess will disappear soon and they'll have to explain why their manifesto pledges aren't being met.

Cleverless - worst mp we’ve ever had in this area. Only shows up if there’s a camera. Obviously needs a map to find his constituency first.
