Farage mocked after explaining why Reform MPs walked out of PMQs If anything, Farage just highlighted how pathetic the spectacle was The post Farage mocked after explaining why Reform MPs walked out of PMQs appeared first on The London Economic.

Pathetic little stunt.

Speaker urged to stop Keir Starmer avoiding MPs' questions The public are growing tired of Sir Keir Starmer's conduct at PMQs, according to letters obtained by the BBC.

Downing Street asked about complaints the PM does not answer #PMQs. No 10 spokesperson says: "The PM has got the big calls right on not joining the war, making tackling the cost of living a priority, and boosting our energy security as a nation."

That's #NotAnAnswer!

Check out Boris Johnson's time at #PMQs

In #PMQs yesterday, I thanked the Prime Minister for much-needed funding provided by the government for 3 primary school nurseries in #OldhamEastandSaddleworth.

I went on to raise Israel's intention to expand illegal settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories - most dangerously through E1.

Starmer says he is committed to a 'free' NHS. It isn't - and you can't get treatment in time This turned my stomach when I heard it during Prime Minister’s Questions on Wednesday (March 24).

Keir Starmer says the NHS is “free” - but what does that mean if you can’t get treated in time?

#NigelFarage and the other snowflake #ReformUK MPs stormed out of the Commons yesterday after Keir Starmer criticised them - in the middle of #PMQs, against convention.

New slogan: 'We will make a crisis out of a drama'

🙄

🇬🇧 Recommend this sketch of yesterday's #PMQs and Reform MP's exit from the chamber by Robert. The whole is a hoot.
🤣🤣🤣 #TheFarageFlounce

Morning News. #britain #news #pmqs #greenparty #police

English Channel: Four held in Germany after smuggling gang raids Europol said more than 450 officers from the UK, Germany and Belgium were involved in the operation.

Why is there little mention of this by the media/MPs'? I only came across it in the BBC European news section by chance? #Starmer could have responded to Farage's question in PMQs this week with this but avoided answering him which shows weakness. #pmqs #boatcrossings www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Must admit, I really enjoyed Starmer & Davey doing a Yorke & Cole at the despatch box yesterday. Not only because it infuriated the Tories and Reform, but because it’s also another example of the @libdems.org.uk being CONSTRUCTIVE opposition. #PMQs

Did they walk out again?

If Badenoch says Labour is "the party for benefit claimants", then Tories are the party for bosses who treat workers like dirt, and politicians that don't give a toss for anyone but themselves.

14 years of Tory policies created poverty and a legacy of despair.

Nigel Mirage it is #pmqs

Mrs Kemi Badenoch > (North West Essex) (Con) I asked the Prime Minister six questions last week and he did not answer a single one. He has a duty to this House to answer the question. Let us see if he can do better this week. I will start with a simple one. Will the Prime Minister approve the licences for the Rosebank and Jackdaw gasfields in the North sea? Mrs Badenoch > The Prime Minister loves to hide behind legal process. I wonder what a Director of Public Prosecutions would make of the defence, "Sorry, I can't produce my WhatsApps-my phone has been stolen." The Jackdaw gasfield could be up and running before winter. All that gas would be used here in the UK to heat 1.6 million homes. That is enough to power Norfolk, Suffolk and Essex put together. Will the Prime Minister approve the licences, or is the Energy Secretary running the Government? Mrs Badenoch > The Norwegian Prime Minister is doing what is right for his country—if only our Prime Minister would do the same. Stopping all new drilling in the North sea was a reckless promise when he made it before the election; in the middle of a global energy crisis, it is catastrophic. Experts are predicting a £300 rise in bills in July. Approving new licences would show that he is serious about cutting bills. Why will he not do it?

North Sea production does not impact UK energy bills. The central energy issue in the UK today is around affordability, with millions of households still struggling to heat their homes and businesses impacted by high costs nearly five years More domestic oil and gas production makes no difference to UK energy bills. North Sea output is too small to influence global prices, and reserves are owned by oil and gas companies who sell them to the highest bidder at international market prices. In 2023, during the energy crisis, then Conservative Energy Secretary, Claire Coutinho, admitted that new drilling would not bring bills down. The UK is particularly exposed to volatile fossil fuel markets, with the cost of gas setting the price of electricity the majority of the time. Russia's war with Ukraine, which saw much larger spikes in energy prices than today, led to UK consumers paying an estimated additional £183 billion in excess energy costs, severely damaging people's finances and the UK economy. The UK has burned through most of its gas. After 50 years of drilling, the North Sea is a hyper-mature basin with just a small fraction of UK gas reserves remaining. Most of what is produced is oil, 80% of which the UK exports. According to official projections, based on expected development activity - even if new North Sea fields are developed - the UK's reliance on imported gas is set to rise from 55% today to more than two-thirds dependent by 2030, and over 90% dependent on gas imports by 2050, due to the declining basin." Opening new oil and gas fields makes almost no difference to UK dependency on gas imports. Jackdaw, one of the biggest undeveloped gas fields, if approved, would reduce our annual gas import dependency by just 2% on average; and the controversial Rosebank field, whose reserves are primarily oil destined for export, has the potential to reduce annual gas import dependency by just 1% on average:

Two consecutive weeks, #SemiBadenough has used #PMQs to challenge Starmer over extraction of oil/gas from Rosebank & Jackdaw fields in N. Sea. It's too bad she didn't consult her colleague Coutinho, who as Energy Secretary in 2023, said that drilling in these fields wouldn't reduce energy bills. 🤦‍♂️🙄

So these people who are now paid what £100k a year, simply walked out of their job today because they felt like it🤬… in any normal job if anyone else did that, you most likely wouldnt be in that job tomorrow.
#PMQs

Why didn't Starmer point out that North Sea oil and gas is owned by private companies trading on global markets. 80% of North Sea oil is exported. It's not "our" oil and gas. Unless Bad Enoch wants to renationalise BP. #pmqs

So these people who are now paid what £100k a year, simply walked out of their job because they can… in a normal job if you did that you’d not have that job tomorrow. 🤬
#PMQs

Absolutely pathetic from Reform UK MPs as they stage a mass (well, eight) walkout of #PMQs.

Obviously pre-rehearsed but very much reflective of their thin-skinned demeanour in Westminster.

Rare to see them in the chamber at all to be fair.

Show of strength by Reform MPs at PMQs turns into a cameo appearance | John Crace A well-timed jibe by the prime minister at Nigel Farage’s side-hustle seemed to provoke the party leader into staging a mass walkout

Nigel Farage asks Keir Starmer to admit his "Smash the Gangs" slogan has been an "abject failure"

Starmer: "He promised lower tax and now Reform councils are hiking council tax by 9%"

Farage and other Reform MPs then walk out the chamber

Kemi Badenoch asks Keir Starmer if it's true that Labour is now the "welfare party"

Starmer: "They're the ones that doubled spend on welfare. When we tried to amend it, what did they do? They voted against it"
