"The last few prime minister's questions have been an exercise in nihilism. The embodiment of existential futility. Questions asked by Kemi Badenoch but not even a pretence by Keir Starmer of answering them."
"Both sides of the house know that the UK needs to spend more on defence. Especially now the US seems to have become the enemy. But no one can agree on how to pay for it."
"Starmer really had been trying. This was him on best behaviour. And it had been a huge improvement on the last few weeks. Yet still the speaker had chosen to humiliate him."
"We all know Labour and the Tories will be annihilated in the local elections in three weeks' time. Both parties consistently poll in the high teens."
Recent Prime Minister's Questions have been criticized for their lack of substance, resembling past ineffective sessions. Keir Starmer managed to respond coherently to Kemi Badenoch's inquiries, although he avoided addressing the crucial question about the defense investment plan. Both parties face challenges in local elections, polling poorly, yet Starmer and Badenoch appear secure in their positions. Tensions arose when Speaker Lindsay Hoyle interrupted Starmer, emphasizing his duty to answer questions rather than criticize the Tory party. This incident may have personal implications for Starmer, indicating ongoing political struggles.
