- James O’Brien and LBC’s political editor Natasha Clark analyse this week's PMQs as Rishi Sunak faces Keir Starmer.
“Another stunning outing for Keir Starmer”
“I thought it was better than last week.”
“He went in hard on Rwanda and quite effectively”
“Really ripping it to pieces.”
“This is why it’s rubbish. This is why it doesn’t work.”
“The small print is terrible.”
“It makes it easy for Keir Starmer when these deals are so full of holes.”
“There’s lots to go on.”
“He didn’t reach for the emergency Corbyn button, I think they’ve realised it doesn’t work.”
“It’s working, isn’t it!”
“It does seem like he’s sharpened up his act.”

Sunak was yelling across the dispatch box that "Labour doesn't have a plan!" to tackle immigration. Let's say that's true for a moment. If the Conservatives plan to reduce immigration is to spend hundreds of millions of pounds to send 100 people to Rwanda, for them to send some back - then I think, genuinely, having no plan at all is a marked improvement.
Sunak is holding on to power now to squeeze every penny he can out of the Country to help toward his Billionaire dream.
Evidence, evidence, evidence please.
@@baguette_connoisseur erm, almost every policy he makes financially benefits him, his wife or his father in law. He then fails to disclose the proper information at the time and apologises afterwards. It's all in the public domain, have a look if you are generlaly interested
what dream explain or its just silly words,,
@@baguette_connoisseurOh I don’t know. The government contracts to companies his family owns
@@baguette_connoisseurugh, so if you don't have evidence, you have to believe what they say is it? Dude you can always see when somebody is completely corrupt, stop being so blind and naive.
If the millionaires in the tory party had to fund the 140,000,000 Rwanda project, it would have been binned before it even got of the paper it was written on.
Sunak's real assets are in a "blind trust". They have never been disclosed and are not on the MPs register of interests, and the Cabinet Office refuses to reveal who manages the trust. The public is entitled to know if a public servant has any possible conflict of interest.
Given who Sunak has made Foreign Secretary, he's on thin ice attacking Starmer with Europe.
Claverley looks lost
starmer will take credit for getting us right out of the ,,eu,,starmer like j o b is a tory,,
@@stephenisom6089 Nonsense, why would he want to take credit for an ongoing disaster? I would remind you that the current foreign secretary head the remain campaign.
@@stephenisom6089mate, did you miss the last couple of years? You are already out of the EU for years, right now is the process of figuring out how to work with each other in the future.
Starmer is doing great
If you've watched or listened to any of John Major's interviews in the last decade, Sunak is nothing like him. I think the comparison does Major an enormous disservice.
He has class and statesmanship in abundance. Sunak has none of that. He comes from a rich family and he managed to marry into an even richer one.
The Tories are done, please call an election
why are they done the media will destroy starmer ,,you see...
If only. I've know two Tory voters that 'have a problem' with putting Rishi back in power... but if he were replaced by a lighter shade...
Yes please
@@mayorhardin1171That's where Starmer comes in
I’ve no problem with closer ties to the EU better than death by a thousand cuts of Brexit
The Tories just haven’t got a clue
@@paullarnewhich you could have had anyway ,biggest act of financial suicide I've ever experienced
@@paullarne
The most the UK paid in a years membership was £20 billion in 2018 but we received £4.5 billion back in the rebate (fishing/farming subsidies, regional development etc.) - if you're going to lie try and do it with something that isn't so easy to debunk, eh?
@@paullarnewhat sovereign nations?
@@paullarne but the EU is group of sovereign nations. A trading bloc with a set of rules to protect its members. A third county ie the UK in this instance can never be given any advantage over a member nation.
@@paullarne sure cooperate like the horizon science program, security, environmental issues. But at the moment there's the oven ready trade agreement.
Sunak forgot at least twice who he was talking to by saying “Mr Speaker” and not “Madam Deputy Speaker”. He’s rattled.
At least a ‘fist fight’ in overseas Parliament debates are honest. Ours is a joke, when you can’t call a proven liar a liar without being penalised.
Honourable, and Right Honourable should be hard earned... Not merely given away.
Stephen Fry
the eu do it why not us,,
@@stephenisom6089do what ?
@@stephenisom6089what?
As one of the 60% in favour of rejoining, everytime Sunak mentions Starmer's support for the EU it just makes me like Starmer more.
And all of his other horrendous policies don't make you like him less again?
@@paulsmith7579Name one.
@@tomvandersteen5880 how about all of the manifesto pledges he's renegued on ? just for a start
@@soulmod63 They haven’t published a manifesto yet so bit confused as to how you’ve already read it.
So I’ll assume you mean the things he said he wanted to do years ago during the leadership bid but then since stated that we couldn’t likely do as an actual policy due to the state of the economy going down the pan at a rate of knots. Would you prefer he didn’t change his plans according to how much money he has available to do them when he gets into government?
Regardless I’m still waiting to hear which of his as of yet unpublished policies are “horrendous”.
The irony of course, is that rejoining the EU is probably the best way to stop the boats...
that was the logical conclusion before Brexit.
My personal favourite was the reoccurring theme of pointing out when the Home Secretary has described something as being s***. 😂😂😂
er you mean your childish,,wow,,
@@stephenisom6089triggered you!
A Christmas break? They don't deserve it. They've not achieved very much, they've ignored our concerns, they've misbehaved and not done their homework. Sounds to me like they need to get their heads down and not be taking time off.
General election now please.
A parliament selected PM should take it to the people to see if he will get their endorsement.
He wasn’t even selected by parliament- he was appointed by the 1922 Committee as the best of a bad bunch.
we did that and remoaners still don,t believe in democracy so whats the point,,
Sick of people making this point. WE DO NOT VOTE FOR A PRIME MINISTER.
@@MiningForPies sick of pedants making this point, for all practical purposes, we do.
@@nelch No we don’t. Parliamentary system means that MPs are directly elected. From those elected MPs, the leader of the party with enough to win a motion of confidence (presently minimum 320) is invited by Charlie to form a government, and appoint ministers. If you want to vote for a leader, put your hand in your pocket and join a party.
Keir Starmer is a KC. He is no fool. He builds the case over time i.e. allowing the person to condemn themselves.
Having stated that the Tory criminal syndicate is so corrupt the Tories cannot point to a single honest achievement.
He kind of looks like a fool to me.
@@archvaldor thanks for your careful insight
@@archvaldorthat's seems like a well thought out reason not to vote for him.
Which means he's intelligent enough not to misspeak when asked if Israel have a right to carry out a genocidal siege. Which means he thinks that Israel has a right to carry out a genocidal siege
@@John-kb7pv which is why he carefully acknowledges Israel has a right to defend itself within international law, whilst simultaneously avoiding giving his judgement as to whether they are staying within international law.
In re Sunak = Major
I'm not sure I agree in one small particular...Major had more than a modicum of intellectual and insight. He also had a far better understanding of affairs elsewhere in the world.
Sunak serial loser and unelected, bested by Starmer yet again.
PMQ Time is just a joke and an insult to the people in the UK . Get rid of both of these parties and start again.
Yeah, what we really need is an authoritarian government, ruling over every aspect of life, deciding on who lives and who doesn't, ...oh wait... we had that...for many centuries under various Kings and Queens. I suppose we could give the USA system of democracy a try, but only two political parties are allowed to particiapate there, so the only choice would be red or blue.
As a matter of interest , can you explain how this might be done?
@@paulinequinton1478Nope.
I heard part of it and it seemed like a joke, the politicians seemed to think it was a party game and the woman in charge let the idiots bray and cheer.
Yep the speaker was useless
uw ah..
Can I add that as Rwanda have been critical of our Supreme Courts judgements.....and pause to allow Billy Brexit to realise he has to side with a foreign country questioning our legal sovereignty.....how on earth would they agree to British lawyers (as part of the revised plan) on their soil enforcing British law/treaty ratifications?
The court judged on provable facts presented to them. Rwanda wants to be judged by the leaders of another morally corrupt Goverment.
i think you read into it wrongly its nothing like you say sorry read more,,
@@stephenisom6089are you the resident troll?
no your just wrong and i don,t like liars rubbishing britain into the ground ok @@toriesdontgettazered7464
Penny mordaunts face Said it all
😂 For the last two weeks
Fight and they will fight, and you will fight, and fight
Penny or David David Davis should have been pm it says a lot for a party that makes someone whom says ‘I don’t have any poor friends’ leader
His government, in my American perspective, is sinking like the titanic.
He's had his Wheatabix 😂 🤣
I love watching spitting image
All this is just embarrassing. What's depressing is Starmer is no positive alternative.
Steamers best joke was these are not the droids you are looking for, when discussing Richie’s split from reality
Pity we didn't spend it on sea defences on our east coast, where poor people are losing there homes
Sunak just wants out.
How about finding out how many cruises the £140m would pay for - class, duration and destinations of your choice.
I'd prefer first class flights
I’m not sure who pointed this out. It’s certainly not original, but……
If Rwanda is safe enough to send our Asylum seekers to…..
Why are people from there, claiming asylum here?
There needs to be away of retrieving the wasted money from the tories.
Penny or David David Davis should have been pm it says a lot for a party that makes someone whom says ‘I don’t have any poor friends’ leader
Totally echo your (James's) recommendation of Peter Geoghegan's Democracy For Sale stuff. Digging up a whole load of eyebrow-raising stuff that other media voices are missing, in the best traditions of proper journalism (how we miss that in these days of the billionaire-owned press).
democracy for sale like the referendum i don,t like the result so will ignore it until my choice wins ,remoaners selling down the ,,eu gravy train for sale our votes,,
Should have had Worzel Gummidge in charge. Same appearance, more empathy.
Did you notice the Tory MP pretending to be John major with his road cones ?
We need REFORM
Let her talk James!
SirK sinks SunK.
WHAT LOAD OF GRAP
THE LABOUR PARTY OMG
Sunak reminds me of George Warleggan in Poldark with his ridiculous prejudice against what he terms as illegal immigrants.
so what is an illegal immigrant if its not sneaking in illegally ....as apposed to legally..so going and buying a ticket for a show ,is the same as climbing though a window and not paying ,,um,,
@@stephenisom6089Try reading up on international refugee laws before reciting what is inside your head!
Perhaps he's changed his washing powder.
Another £100million has been announced today(8th December).
Your all being mean it’s a massive improvement. Lizz lost 62 billion and Richie is giving Rwanda 150 million 😂
The King can sack the prime minister and i wonder how bad things need to be before he pulls this lever? I reckon he might have dusted it off.
These threads used to be teaming with gammon but even they're too embarrassed to come on here and comment.
Spaffer Johnson begat Spaffer Truss begat Spaffer Sunak… they are on a downward spiral of waste and inefficiency, trying to cover their backs with more of the same. Very sad to see. Needs a new direction and better vision.
Sunak = Rolland Rat.
PM should be removed he is unfit for the job, conservative party will be dismal party next election, may be the fourth after Labour, SNP and Liberal Democrats
SNP that basket case of a party, these more danger from the Reform party 😂
the reform party has never been in government so how can you justify you r ignorant of any facts statement that would make you a far right extremist by definition a bigot and antidemocratic ,,@@grahamhollingworth8253
The Westminster Tories have given Rwanda £240 million and the Tories are going to give Rwanda a further £50 million.
The cost to the taxpayer is £290 million for the Rwanda scheme announced so far.
No refugees have been sent to Rwanda from the UK.
The Rwanda deal only allows for a few hundred refugees to go to Rwanda from the UK.
Also as part of the agreement the Tories have with Rwanda the UK will have to take refugees from Rwanda.
The Tories have a habit of wasting Taxpayers money.
Cones and Dayglows out!!!!! As least we deported the panda's ! Coming over here eating our bamboo !!!
however much i don't rate lindsay hoyle, the deputy is awful! shocked james could praise her after the way she handled layla moran!
Not one question from kier stammer about the covid inquriy.
They can't ask anything while the inquiry is ongoing. Do you know how it works at all?
Sunak said the 97 victims of Hillsborough.....hasn'it always been justice for the 96, when did it become 97?
Andrew Devine died 32 years later after suffering irreversible brain damage at Hillsborough
Please keep up, they've been banging on about it being 97 for a couple of years now.
@@jayohnoh5442 thank you
@@grahamhollingworth8253 sorry, there is only so much news I can keep up with
Sunak is a corrupt politician.
Obsessing over Brexit has clearly done James no harm, he hasn't aged a bit since then..
Not sure I’d call reporting on the state of the nation as “obsessing”.
It was only the dumbest thing the UK has ever done.
@@joshuaDstarkscan confirm, family in Australia, friends in the US (some hard republicans), Japan, Taiwan, numerous European countries (many in Ukraine); all think it was the dumbest political move in the UK’s history if not in world politics. Britain is a joke in the international community and rightly so.
@@joshuaDstarksonly if James says so, which is every day the bitter B
Every single comment Suella Braverman made in her personal statement is correct.
Which is ironic really as whenever she was questioned at select committees she was totally incorrect.
no she was not show us then say 10 x we wonn,t wait its makeituppy @@davidgriffithsbjjcoach7207
Well, she was playing to the knuckle heads...
@@johnscotcher9753
Let me guess, a devout left winger. Have you ever tried having a mind of your own, being open to both sides of the political spectrum? Just a question
@mikeh5656 Have you? You still believe all the Tory lies, so what does that make you?
Does anyone else find PMQs an exceedingly weird feature of our system?
Essentially two people hurling criticisms and insults at each other in the form of questions, those questions being completely ignored to return the favour. No fact checking, no discussion, plenty of "questions" but no answers. Then the partizan press takes away the "zingers" they liked as proof their guy or gal smashed the other. Why? What does anyone gain from this? Did it always used to be so ridiculous?
The media driven forgetfulness of society is what undermines it breesing the politcs we have. Starmer just a few weeks ago said Isreal had the right to cut off water, food and electricty to two million people. Now his PMQ performances are being celebrated - as if it is what matters. As if his fitness for office does not matter - just as long as the Tories are out.
If getting rid of the Tories is a blinkered existential issue - then so too will become what replaces it.
Not a fan of Keir Starmer as he is NOT a socialist and wont do anything to reverse the awful Tory policies, all we will get from his leadership is several years of things getting no worse but also no better, having said that he really has Sunaks number when it comes to pmq's.
Call a general election now and vote for somebody different from the usual blue red or yellow. you say want real political change but continue to vote the same 😂
Jimmy Dimly for next Tory loser er leader😅😅
What was blatantly obvious today was that Starmer's front bench was cringing at his performance. Anyone see a smile from his deputy or any reaction to the mention of Thatcher. He's become a laughing stock.
Starmer has given no indication that he wants the UK to have closer ties with Europe, or to rejoin the EU. I think he's a coward and should have nailed his colours to this mast some time ago.
I hope James is not becoming a Labour party cheerleader considering the state they left the UK after their last session in government. People have very short memories!
The "state" they left the UK in? Explain that.
Well the covid inquiry is there to refresh the memory of everyone
IT WAS THE BANKERS!!! Jesus, it seems it's you who has a short memory or no clue...
They left the country in a state of growth, would have continued but the Tories stopped it and we've been in that state for a decade
He has repeatedly said that we need closer trading ties with the EU.
Why Are You Surprised,?? Its in there DNA !!!!
Party political broadcast from the Goblin.
Money into the rawanda presidential pocket
I suggest a boxing ring in parliament...Bid Starm versus Wimpi Rishi..if you don,t answer the question sunak gets a smack? would be watched worldwide...Cliff Sullivan copywrite
hahahhaaha
I'm guessing Natasha Clark is a tory she seems to hate having to admit this cabinet are useless.
Why don't we give 200 refugees a million quid each. If they had that much cash they'd probably chose to go live somewhere nice
O'Brien really has a mug for radio. I've seen prettier faces in a sty

Are you David Cameron using a different name by any chance ? 🤣
How about you show us a photo of your face, so we can see if you're in any position to be throwing stones?
@@zednotzee7 Yes, I'm foreign secretary and have time to reply to the likes of you
