A: What we did worked, but it is important britian get a good deal out of brexit and a strong leader to have those negotiations

Q: What about social care will you increase spending
A: I cant dicuss the manifesto before it comes out but its important the uk get a good deal out of brexit and have a strong leader at the table

It was literally that bad

You forgot tornados in Haiti, Dutch elm disease, and Jimmy Savile - all Labour's fault.

And we could have had William Hague, Ian Duncan Smith and Michael Howard as PM.


:lol1: :lol1:

[Wandering Warrior]

And the downgrading of Britain's credit rating?
Oooppps silly me, that was Boy George who overlooked that!

Thats what we where told would happen if we all voted for Brexit :with:

[Caboosegg]

reading the comments section on the BBC coverage of PMQ is rather depressive, alot of people have fallen for the complete media destruction for labour.

people believe May is a strong and stable leader and that there is no alternative and it just goes to shows peoples lack of ability to actually look past a new article headline and look how they will be effected.

she said the same line without answering anything so many times its a joke. i do hope that if the conservs win that Corybn leaves, he has a open goal for ripping May and her plans apart but as its doesnt seem to be in his character he hasnt done.

[Wiganer Ted]

Cameron was asked "If it's a Leave vote will you stay or go?"
He replied "Stay" He didn't stay but resigned.
Cameron was also asked if it's a Leave vote when will you invoke A50. He answered "The Monday following the vote".
It took 9 months to invoke article 50.

May was asked what kind of a deal she wanted and answered "We will be staying in the single market and controlling our borders". Later she admitted no Free Movement of Labour means no single market.
Later she was asked "Labour are doing badly in the polls will you have an early election." Her reply after numerous times of asking was "No we will go through to 2020" We are now having an election called by May.

In view of two Tory leaders inability to know their own minds perhaps another change of mind over a 2nd referendum will be coming down the line.
Cameron and May are so weak and lacking in stability I reckon a 2nd referendum can't be ruled out now for one moment.

[Rochdale Warrior]

Too true Ted, she failed to answer any non Tory question today, can the people see through these u turns in 5 weeks , doubt it unfortunately, I still believe Brexit won't happen as the "establishment " don't want it to happen ! P M's question time has become very depressing to watch

[fozzieskem]

PMQ's has always been an utter waste of time to watch,braying donkeys on all sides guffawing at unfunny puns and backslapping each other when things go right for the party they represent.

[Wigan_forever1985]

As with hunt on the radio the other day the tories are simply relating every question to the answer "strong leader round the table" "stable government" "best deal for Britian in the Brexit negotiations" its a brilliant idea by the Tories and yet again Labour are just flapping about.

Brexit seems to be the only thing people care about so the Tories know they only need to win the vote on this issue they arent even bothering with anything else so they are all repeating the same 3 lines, and it works its called "illusory truth effect". Essentially if you say something enough people start accepting it as true because the re-iteration breeds a comfort in our brains, we process the information less therefore challenge it less with our conscious mind resulting in us accepting it as a truth.

Labour are trying to fight the election on none brexit issues, problem is people have proven already that no-one cares about the truth or the actual issues its all about the big bad EU.
