    Sadly, I think they all do it. Self interest first. Party interest second. Country third.

    It's just another reason why I think we need a change in the system. Proportional Representation leading to Coalition Government and the erosion of party politics.

    What was that on, "I'm a Politician Get Me Out of Here?" makes a change from eating grubs.

    He basically said that ( certain) parts of the rant by May, might have seemed funny by the Conservative bench, but that they did not have to rely on food banks,.

    Why does Corbyn ask 6 different questions instead of following up and attacking the PM's answers? While he may think it gives the impression of having many things to question the government about, it actually gives the PM the chance to sound authoritative on each topic without in-depth analysis. Regardless of the quality of the answers, he is allowing May (and before her, Cameron) to operate in cruise control. I can see why the Labour MPs are desperate to get rid, even if the membership aren't.

    At least he seems to have stopped quoting people who have supposedly emailed him. He is hopeless at PMQs. Unfortunately more than 180k have signed up to Labour membership in 48 hours so it looks like Labour are going to be stuck with him. How this will help the people he claims to represent I do not know.

    Well, she was hardly going to say "No" was she?

    Do you think we should have Trident upgrade?
    Yes.
    Would you ever use it?
    No.
    What sort of deterrent is that?
    Err.....

    Yes. If only they could put personal ambition and internecine strife aside....like the Labour party.

    Well I'm in the No on both counts camp.

    I don't really understand how if you feel you could push the button, you can give a one word answer and that's that. Maybe she's bluffing and that's the deterrent.

    Maybe the questioner asked for a one word answer I can't remember.

    That's the point. She can't say she wouldn't, whether she would or not. It's not a deterrent, otherwise.

    When I said "all" I meant "all politicians" any side, any team. Don't trust any of them.

    She didn't give a one word answer. She said No...paused while all the SNP started going into overload meltdown and then continued with her answer. The media edited it to be a one word answer.

    Brilliant. Such a human touch, so sadly missing from British politics, and associated people.
