"Bless his cotton socks" | PMQs Analysed | May 1st 2024

James O’Brien and LBC’s Political Editor, Natasha Clark, analyse this week's PMQs as Rishi Sunak faced Sir Keir Starmer.

After MP Dan Poulter defected from the Tories to the Labour Party, Starmer pressed Sunak to admit that he's 'utterly failed'. The Labour Leader also accused the PM of 'playing fantasy economic', while Sunak argued that Labour are just trying to add 'tax after tax'.

'Jonathan Gullis not only failing to understand simple words but his own government's policy'

'Bless his cotton socks'

'Nobody beyond the Westminster bubble knew he was'

'He was known as Tory Dan'

'It's arguably his biggest weakness at the moment'

'They've sensed a chink in the Tory armour'

'It didn't really land'

'He was surprisingly upbeat'

'Maybe he's looking forward to a long holiday'

'You can usually feel the Tory rebellion brewing'

'This is the last point they could point towards to as a reason for getting rid of him'
