"Sunak’s problem is that almost everyone has long since given up listening to him. There was a brief period after he replaced Liz Truss when a few people kept half an ear open to him but that window has long been closed. Now he’s just an irritant. White noise. A man programmed to be a very basic form of artificial intelligence whose only output is to take the country for mugs." John Crace

When Johnson was PM and lied at the Despatch Box, everyone groaned and rolled their eyes, but nothing happened. He was a known liar anyway .. it's only Boris being Boris, what do you expect, etc etc.
Sunak was supposed to be different, straightforward, business like, controlled, honest.
But today he was, shall we say, careless with the facts. And not for the first time ...
Seems he's closer to Johnson than first advertised.

Cowboy builders? They're not even that good.
Starmer: “The truth is, this crisis is the inevitable result of 13 years of cutting corners, botch jobs, sticking-plaster politics. It’s the sort of thing you expect from cowboy builders, saying that everyone else is wrong, everyone else is to blame, protesting they’ve done an effing good job, even as the ceiling falls in.”
#Sunak was pathetic during #pmqs today...right?
Attacking Labour on their record when in government, wasting all the money. When they haven't been in power for 13 YEARS (most of us can't remember) Plus how much money has the #Tories wasted by giving it to their mates. Just think if they hadn't given Michelle Mone all that money or Dido Harding...they could fix the schools.
What do you think people will remember when they are asked to vote?.
Sunak is very like Boris Johnson at #PMQs in that when he can't think of a good riposte, he just lies

Good Morning, all
Cannot wait for the next #PMQs. Am only sad that the Beast of Bolsover is no longer in his favoured seat - the opposition front bench on t'other side of the gangway...
You can imagine his question to Rishi Sunak if he hadn't left Parliament at the last GE: "Does the Prime Minister think that his Education Secretary Gillian Keegan has done 'a fucking good job'?"
As it'd include a direct quote from the minister, how could the Speaker disallow it?
