Very easy for Starmer to be honest. He puts things perfectly in his questions and responses. Way too sharp for bumbling Boris. Loved the question and response about comparisons to other countries.

That chart will be back later.
 
TBH I missed it and had to rewind... so just finished.
Yeah same as last week, Starmer asking usual stuff. Could have pressed more on one question. Boris just batting them away. I said before Starmer shouldn't be losing PMQs at the moment. He has a win/win situation. Anything the government gets wrong he asks why? Time will come when Starmer needs to make his own opinions and that's when we will see if he gets things right. A bit of a cheap shot about not working with other countries... I am glad Bojo put him straight on that because we are working very closely (according to David Milliband).

Johnson had to deny that the guidance from his own government even existed!

He was wrong, of course.

Only if we drop back down. Otherwise they will try to continue to hide their shame.
They can’t hide anything. It’s all recorded and the press will make sure we know. All they are doing ( is what all governments would/have done) is be sensible. We don’t need another toilet roll panic over fear.

Yeah ok.

No it's not being sensible at all. What has now deciding after 7 weeks of comparing to other countries got to do with toilet roll? Maybe hiding was the wrong choice of words from myself. Disguising sounds better.

Leaving it out and hoping no one would notice would also work.
 
It won’t grab any headlines as not much happened either way? Do you think it was a good PMQs?

I doubt that many people will even know it happened which is a shame. In terms of showing Johnson up as a bumbling, unknowledgeable lout it was better than most. Not having a loud mob behind him to play up to doesn’t suit him.

Toilet roll has everything to do with it. Look behind the words bob you find so much more info. Let’s say the government says People should wear face masks? We then have mass hysteria to get one leaving the NHS and others short. So they don’t say that... they say face masks are optional. That way they can manage the masses. It’s done everywhere.

Well there bleeding well ought to be some headlines about the PM lying to Parliament, but I guess the Sun will have something about his new baby or how he rose again.

I think you totally misconstrued what I said and then what yourself said. We were talking about comparisons to other countries and why they were now disguising/hiding them. So what your saying is, that if the government continued to show the graphs, people would rush out and buy toilet roll???
