But this is the last one of this term. Will anything change when the MPs come back? However, this has become a period each week when the PM answers no questions at all; not a one. Isn't this a form of misleading Parliament?

This may be interesting to some - worth hearing to the end.

Right now Kali, I'd go for almost any honest person that wasn't trying to dismantle the apparatus of our society and pit groups of people against each other to try to shore up their own inadequate personalities. So nobody in the cabinet, that's for sure, not that I can think of.

Exactly Alegrias1.

Isn’t that what populist leaders and governments do Alegrias1 and what this country voted for?

Just the periodic reminder that this country didn't vote for this. More people voted against this government than voted for it.

Yes I know Maizie but it’s how our so called democracy works. I feel completely unrepresented where a I live.
If voting changed anything they’d ban it. Ken Livingstone

Sickening, isn't it...

Though I think that Livingstone was wrong. Look what voting has done for the UK in the last 6 years. Changed it completely.

The idea that this government follows any rules - written or unwritten, is so much eyewash. The idea that they are running a none democratic government for the sake of the country is so much worse and should mean we end up with some people in prison.

If they want to change the rules, then we need to be asked first. We do not need a PM who decides just what and will change when not a single person was asked in the last election. They didn't/dont have the majority of this country in favour of them even being in power.
