- Keir Starmer launched an attack on Rishi Sunak at PMQs on Wednesday, pointing out the new prime minister lost the initial Tory leadership race to Liz Truss 'who herself got beaten by a lettuce'.

The Labour leader took advantage of Sunak's first prime minister's questions to confront him on his wealth, on non-dom statuses and on a leaked video that emerged in the summer of Sunak in Tunbridge Wells saying he diverted public money from 'deprived urban areas'. Sunak responded by saying Starmer 'rarely leaves north London', adding that 'if he does, he will know that there are deprived areas in our rural communities, in our coastal communities, and across the south'.

sunak is very deceptive and contradicts when he is speaking to Tories vs what he speaks in public... he is for sure Tories first, UK after person and will ruin the economy. delaying GE will be more disastrous for Tories if he remains the leader.. i doubt he can survive long
The worst thing that has ever happened to the UK Sunak.
Sunak is due to sign a trade deal with India. India has around 2 plus Billion population of which only 5 percent are educated. He can destroy our country with immigrants flood us .
Parliament is literally a stand up comedy show

The lettuce would have been a better PM than what's-her-name.
Lettuce: stonks
You making this comment for a laugh is OK, but for the man who wants to be prime minister it is cheap and undignified.
Did the lettuce get its own lecturn?
Rishi barely says anything and his party are like "YEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!"
initial rally around the PM. as they all inevitably turn on each other and implode I suspect gov benches will become a lot quieter
So just another day in parliament then. Regardless of the party or the person these fools are all the same and are as shady and wriggly as each other lol. Best not to worry too hard about it
Goverments always act like this, just throwing around egos and arguing like teenagers. They need to shut up and take things more seriously. They need to be quiet and learn to have discussions.
Theres a lot more tories than labour in the chamber
Starmer is correct. I saw that video and he took money away from very poor areas to more affluent areas. The line “…lost to a lettuce” was hilarious
Agreed.

I would rather be ignored then mugged

@@KnightoftheLord1
Tunbridge Wells can, in no way, be described as deprived.
I live in Surrey too, BTW, so I'm well aware of the levels of reletive poverty.
@@KnightoftheLord1 im sure that Rishi is thinking about those people, rather than the much larger & more obvious demographic.
As an outside observer(Australian), Sunak definitely avoided questions but replied in a confident and animated way. It was all waffle, but it was direct and distracting waffle which made his replies have impact. 100% more effective than Truss but wouldn't hold up to scrutiny if QT allowed it. Interesting how different he behaved verses his address at Downing Street where he sounded like a computer. It seems he is very skilled in deflection which will be disastrous for the UK unless Starmer can pin him down effectively.
Yes he does seem to be very efficient in dodging questions and answering in a very effective way that creates hope for the viewer - it nearly worked on me
He lost in September Conservative members aren’t with him
But you don’t leave north London
Pound UP ✅GILT YIELDS DOWN ✅RISHI SUNAK DESTROYING STARMER ✅
He is very naturally charismatic but keep in mind his net worth is around 730 million pounds. He was born into a wealthy family and has only gotten richer since. There is literal video proof of him laughing at the concept of having working class friends.
Its important to really focus on the content of what is being said and not how it is being said. I know a lot of supporters of Sunak are claiming that his critics are racist which I think is just vapid identify politics; I’d equally hate to have an old white woman, a young black man or whatever combination of identities if they were born into wealth and have no understanding of the average person’s life especially during a living costs crisis.
For Tories they sure do like getting publicly owned.
This made me laugh more than it should XD
HAHHA
Am I the only one who hasn't lost sight of the fact that Rishi Sunak was Chancellor for the last two or so years and all the current financial chaos is in fact a VERY large part his fault? or is he going to hope no one notices and blames Kwarteng who was in the job for at most a month. Amazing he now wants to hit the country again with austerity when he was only too eager to throw bundles of cash only months before.
You just can't stand to see POC doing better than you, racist bigot.
Yeah! There may be some others too... But one thing is clear, time duration, whether it's 44 days or 2yrs, is not a measuring factor to measure the level of bankruptcy that the country has gone through... If funding 30 billion to NHS during critical times is equivalent to slashing corporate taxes by more than 45% for the country's elite or to giving freebies (Energy bill) without proper funding and plan, then it's, I don't know, probably stupidity. 🤔🤔
well said
The chaos of a pandemic and a war in Ukraine? Are you simple?
Because he did furlough??? Hello, remember the pandemic?
I feel like we already need a new pm 😂
Yea I agree
He won't last long..
Gotta practice delayed gratification. Wait. Give time. Observe. Don’t make conclusions from a stand up comedy show.
@@elmerfudd6305 yea give it couple of months

I'll never understand how they build such confidence that they can openly be so morally corrupt and convince themselves it was the right thing to do
Starmer's taking no prisoners.
He's a lawyer of some renown. He knows a rhetorical opening when he sees it.
Sunak basically evaded all questions. Not what people look for.

'I will fix our economy,' says Rishi Sunak - before promoting those who made the mess
Sunak looks and sounds like a shill, I know it is about deflecting but he didn't answer anything really in PMQs [I saw the whole video]
What's the point in having PMQs if he's not even going to answer the questions
Sunak is a scammer and tories top shill. He is doing an Indian rope trick in Parliament.
They are not answering each other's questions.

And when they do organise drinks parties they get fined for it.

This actually really disappointed me. Instead of Rishi answering these questions head on. He did the typical Tory thing of glorifying his answer like he is hyping up the next big sporting event. The Tories really are their own worst enemy.
the problem is I'm my understanding starmer is powerless to bring about a general election
Only thing he can do is call a vote of no confidence but that needs a majority which is unlikely to pass
When Gordon Brown succeeded Tony Blair as PM without there having been an election, he was the seventh PM to have done so since 1945.
There is no requirement to call an election when this happens and Labour knows it.
So.....what is his job then? What does starmer do in office.

Do you think Labour will win the next GE? I am an outsider to British politics.
I really hope so mate, not even from a political standpoint. The Conservative party have no leaders who dont either lie every day or collapse the economy as soon as they get into power. However, if Sunak manages to grow the economy (which I believe he can) it will be a tight race for the next GE, with the conservatives pointing at how they fixed the mess they themselves made.

"Spending needs to be paiiiiid fooooorr.." oh how cute, Mr Sunak!
Unbelievable
He didn't consider the option that super-wealthy like HIM could pay if off, huh?
I really don't understand how this kind of debate is seen as a normal thing. Their only goal is to humiliate the other, absolutely no intent of actually find a solution for anything. Zero pragmatism, this is pretty much a reality show but at the people's expense.
So it seems that everyone has a short term memory. It is a fact that Rishi Rich was the chancellor for 3 years, the engineer and architect of the economy crisis we are facing now. This guy big achievement was to introduce the furlough scheme and tax free on meals which he had to borrow money to fund theses schemes. Most people knew he would create a big hole in the budget and now we are seeing the consequences of such a populist scheme just to pave the way to become PM. Of course the conservatives are blaming Truss for this mess because she didn't get elected by MPs but it was chosen by the conservative members.
What an epitapth. The PM who lost to a lettuce.
Can’t we the people force a general election. Rishi is the most disgusting human being I’ve ever seen. That video of him boasting about taking funding from poor areas to instead use in wealthy areas. It’s just totally unacceptable.
He is disgusting bc he is rich and brown

His lies sound more convincing than when Johnson did it which is more worrying for the country. It was convincing lies that got us into this mess in the first place.
I mean come on... I know hindsight etc, BUT, after Lettuce it was pretty much the end of the Conservative party for at least 10 years...
I kinda like rishi for the simple fact he seems to at least be competent (which, unfortunately, is quite an achievement in UK politics) but I give his government till Christmas before the next meltdown and hopefully this time there can be a GE.
Competent and evil is a dangerous combination
‘Seems’ is the key word. That is what the privileged corporate types are trained to seem.
