- James O’Brien and LBC’s Political Editor Natasha Clark analyse this week's PMQs as Rishi Sunak faces Sir Keir Starmer.
'Keir went pretty hard on prisons with a side order of knives'
'Of course these criminals shouldn't be released early, but they are…'
'He is a risk to Britain's security'
'Rishi Sunak is a bit like detached shower head, you don't know what direction he's going to spray in next, and the idea of getting washed underneath it is slim'
'The Labour Party is not the same Labour Party as it was in 2020 under Jeremy Corbyn'
'It's a bit of a stretch, isn't it Natasha?'
'The messaging is all over the gaff... it's a completely scattergun approach'
'That laser-like focus on something makes campaigning so much easier, as long as you don't focus on the truth of the claim...'
'Both Party leaders have handcuffed themselves to a bandwagon heading in the opposite directions...'
'I think it was slightly overhyped by them'
'It was an odd exchange in the end because they are all speaking to different audiences'
'It completely destroys his argument'
'Keir Starmer was very tactical'
'It doesn't land'
'The Tories' messaging is completely over the place'
'Mad politics, isn't it?'
'It was a wide open goal'

I just awoke from a coma to find sunak still talking about Corbyn
I liked Corbyn, I don’t remember him wanting to scrap the army ?
And Trident 😂
Scrap trident and fix the NHS and schools instead. Education is far effective as a war deterrent
@musicman Corbyn is irrelevant. Totally agree!
sunak is just a sad little man no were to go and desperate that's why he keeps bringing up Corbyn
The detached shower head analogy of Sunak constantly spouting nonsense was brilliant!! 👍
People don't report crime anymore because the police don't ever turn up or just give you a reference number.
Prove that!
Scotland has significantly lower levels of crime; and significantly higher, successful prosecution levels. Your nonsense assumption would be a reluctance to report crime, despite no evidence to back it up.
If you don't report it, that's up to you and you alone. Nothing to do with the police or the Government.
@@petergaskin1811 true. Doing something about it is, though.
@@petergaskin1811 Very ignorant comment.
it worst than that if you do not like the service your recieving they turn you into the criminal by waiting for you defend your self .
Kier calling Rishi a “Tech brother” was the highlight for me 😂
Yeah he clearly read the word "bro" on the page and had an immediate allergic reaction, "I'm just not going to say that!" it was pretty funny. Sunak's "steam bro" comeback was pretty well done though, I wonder how long they've had that one planned.
He stepped on his punchline, then got mocked for it, which was cringe. The aide who wrote that for him shouldve explained it to him
@@helicoptergunship
Maybe Starmer thought Rishi was a member of the Adeptus Mechanicus.
Tech Brother Rishi. Fits as even in death they will make you work
Rishi's advisers and himself are a great asset to Labour's election campaign
Honestly no idea how anyone could vote Tory at this point. They've failed in every single way possible.
The problem is they/He reiterate the same lies that have been spouted for 14 years. Mainly about the inherited Economy and THAT letter.
@wayne Certainly more than Starmer is.
I remember having the day off school for Margaret Thatcher's visit as I at around the age of 4 said this to the teacher as I was the only child not throwing their hand up in the air at being excited about her visit...
Q. Why are you not putting your hand up?
A. She took away out milk miss.
And continued to sit, arms folded and an angry look...
Almost 50 years later and it has all continued to go down hill en masse with only odd spikes of tiny benefit as to how this has all been going...
We have not progressed...
It remains the same incoherent muddle and Scattergun Sunak has been instrumental in it in the last 5 years...
Sunak appointed Grant Shapps as Defence Secretary. You can't tell me he's serious about national security after that.
Wasn't Shapps done for using multiple aliases for his dodgy companies?
@@blazzz13 I think the police said something along the lines of 'we would certainly consider that behaviour to be fraud'.
Maybe Rich Snake should have appointed Michael Green, Corinne Stockheath or Sebastian Fox instead.
@@blazzz13 yep..like some spiv.
With a pocketful of dodgy watches
yes but fair play if its grant shapps at least you know he's in for the long term...sorry i meant 6 months tops !!!!
“Tech Brother Sunak” just the highlight for me. Sunak has to be the worst unelected Pm in history 😮
Give Starmer time...

Is crime falling, partly perhaps, because a fair percentage of crimes are no longer being reported?
Or the police have been told it's not worth investigating.
Perhaps they report it and the police say it isn’t a crime under the new home office guidelines?
If people don't report it, that's up to them and them alone. Nothing to do with the police or the Government.
@petergaskin1811 Or maybe they aren't reporting the crimes because the police have been so defunded and poorly maintained the police don't bother to do anything?
I know people who have experienced serious and horrific offenses, gone straight to the police, kept clothes for dna evidence, multiple testimonies, and more... only for it to be dropped anyway due to lack of resources.
So no, this is EVERYTHING to do with the government and police. Crimes aren't being dealt with unless it happens right in from of the police, so faith in them doing anything is completely gone.
@@petergaskin1811If I'm a shopkeeper and things have been stolen from me 5 times and the police never showed up I'd give up
Again Sunak proves he's more prep school prefect than prime minister
Sunak sounded like an angry public schoolboy who has been caught raiding the tuck shop
I don’t think Sunak really wanted to spend too much time on the topic of crime and punishment for obvious reasons.
Why does he never mention the dead from the welfare system the moody work coaches and even more moody healthcare professionals that don't have any drs or specialist.. paramedics and nurses.
The dead are everywhere from the pandemic and the welfare state
What Sunak supporters in Scotland?
The Tories are polling around 10%, North of Berwick.
That 10% must either be ex-pats or the insane
That’s 10% of people who vote so in real terms it’s about 5%😮
Must be counting the red tories from the branch office of London labour
@jamesarnold7253
The Tories are polling at 10% across all recent (May) polls, which would wipe out any Tory representation for them, in Scotland. As it should be.
@jamesarnold7253
Lol, Norstat. So, the Sunday Times poll. Like that's relevant, in Scotland.
And let me guess, the Telegraph for the Sevanta poll. Polls taking within Scotland have the median at 10%.
Build more prisons to release prisoners early from? Multiple usage of 'delivering', 'let me be clear', and 'Yeah, but no, but yeah, but Labour ...'
The Tories keep creating new crimes without the extra provision to house the new criminals .
@@johnrussell3961 Like imprisoning refugees. Utterly ridiculous
You forgot the plan.

@@reiw5802 🤐
He is not clear! He is crystal clear😂
Camaron was the one who cut defence becase there was not going to be any wars or conflicts for 20 years in 2010.
The Tories love peace dividends. As soon as the army was out of Iraq , they took an axe to it.
Points scoring vs Sunak is a complete waste of time. He is so detached from reality, he simply clings onto the pathetic lines spewed out by his Apprentice show reject advisors in No.10.

It's a ludicrous line of attack for Sunak to complain that his opponent never talks about the future in a forum designed for questioning and challenging policy and its outcomes. Who does that line really land with beyond those who are somehow still unswayable in their loyalty?
spot on if you can only resort to how some one might act in the future its pretty desperate and on the issue of who is better at keeping us safe the Tories are the ones who have progressively cut defence budgets, prisons, policing nos and courts !

Don't forget that he's claiming other parties will "depress" their way to an election win while also doomsaying...and also seemingly forgetting that the country is the most ill-prepared to face these threats as it has ever been due to the last 14 years of Tory rule.
Let’s not forget that defence spending was 2.6% of GDP when Labour left office.
Labour voters always forget the past with Labour

Tune in next week for the "defection" special !!!
Surely you mean defecation special if the state of our waters are anything to go by!!
Sunak just will not answer questions! What is the point of Lindsay Hoyle then?
Being part of the UK is terrible for Scotland's future prospects. The sooner Scotland leaves this den of malfeasance and elitist incompetence, the better.
I disagree, I suspect it would just be another version of Brexit, creating even more division and red tape. Just my suggestion, but if I lived in Scotland I'd be pushing for Proportional Representation and further federation of power (something I think Starmer is broadly supportive of), trying to fix the UK from within

Sorry James I was a milk monitor in a normal state school. My role as a milk monitor was to bring the half pint bottles in their crates unti school and distribute to each of the classrooms. Whether they were stolen or not wasn't in my purview of my role!!. I was also in charge of refilling the toilet facilities! I was proud if my job and did it to the best of my ability!

Natasha Clark - Sunak cheerleader. Dear me.
Dissolving the union is not destroying it.
Sunaks argues that giving criminals a longer sentence on one hand, then releasing prisoners earlier on the other hand. Im confused? Or is Sunak confused?
Sunak is running a country/party that is falling apart after 14 years. With no ability to put his hands up and admit it's all his parties fault he is stuck jumping from lie to lie in a vain attempt to fool the public into thinking he's got any sort of hold on the situation
It was just announced many are now free on police bail because the courts have been told to slow down…the prisons are full
@margaret You sound confused too. What's your solution?
Reported crime might be lower, but that doesn't mean people's experience of crime is lower. I haven't reported the last three times my van has been broken into. What's the point? When was the last time you saw a traffic policeman? The standard of driving on motorways is dreadful, particularly since covid. No traffic police, just endless cameras. 2+2 =?
Crime is at its lowest because there isn't enough police to make an arrest, so the crime is not recorded. Therefore, the stats are naturally going to be lower. Actually crime is worse than ever.
@X And you have irrefutable evidence of this by word of mouth?😊
@@chatham43 - Thankfully for myself, my mind is tuned to go beneath the epidermis and dermis. Now ask a question that isn't clichéd or regurgitated. Moreover, evidently you haven't engaged yourself in any research under my statement or you wouldn't have wrote such words.. Either you do not have the capacity within to calculate the answer or you go by conjecture. Ask for support, as it's clear you need help, as you gave nothing of any substance other than a plagiarised comment.
Do the crime statistics include fraud now? Seem to recall Sunak tried to take them out of the official statistics a while back so that he could claim crime had fallen
@XTRAIT So you don't.
“How many hospitals are we going to build? 40. How many more police officers are we recruiting? 20,000. That’s right, how many nurses, more nurses, are we recruiting? 50,000 exactly right.” How many more prisons? How many more LIES?
So you suggest putting them where
I think the crime is going down mantra is caused by mislabeling crimes, there are serious increase in crime in some areas.
Hi James Is it just me but is the goverment trying to bring back clause 28 via the back door Perhaps it's eomthing to look into on your show

Sunak couldn’t answer with any detail at all. Changed his answer to the economy when questioned about letting dangerous criminals out early. No matter the subject Sunak is unable to answer or refuses.
It's pronounced Lewis!
Fear is a great motivator. Reality is a much harder thing to sell. Public perception of crime has been out of whack with reality for decades.

@drake It's always been like this.
I am old enough to remember miik at Primary School and was a milk monitor in the late 60's
It involved arriving at school early, distributing the correct number of bottles to each classroom, and the best bit for me, as I love milk, first dibs on any extras. I am sure that a 10 year old wouldn't be allowed to do that today, let alone unsupervised!
I’d love to be a fly on the wall when james Forsyth and Rish! are strategising for PMQ’s…..the sense of fatuous entitlement encountering private pike levels of perception ….

Amid the ups and downs of technical recessions is a bigger picture of stagnation. GDP per capita grew in early 2024 for the first time in two years, but it is still down 1.3 per cent over this period, and has grown by just 4.3 per cent over the past 16 years in total. In contrast, during the 16 years running to the financial crisis in 2008, it grew ten times as much - by 46 per cent in total.
