PMQs watch-along with James Schneider and Zoe Gardner | PoliticsJOE Podcast

Join us for a live watchalong of Prime Minister’s Questions (PMQs) with former Jeremy Corbyn adviser James Schneider and migrant rights activist Zoe Gardner on the PoliticsJOE Podcast. In today’s PMQs, Labour leader Keir Starmer faces tough questions on some of the most pressing issues dominating the political agenda: the future of asylum hotels, the government’s increasingly shaky handling of the UK economy, and his curious new obsession with flags and patriotic symbolism.

As Starmer takes on Conservative MPs and Prime Minister’s questions unfold, our panel will provide sharp, insightful and entertaining commentary in real time. Expect a lively mix of analysis, critique and humour as Schneider — former Corbyn campaign director — and Gardner — writer and campaigner on migration — break down the political theatre at Westminster.

With asylum hotels becoming a flashpoint in Britain’s asylum and immigration debate, today’s PMQs could be pivotal in showing how Starmer intends to navigate an issue dominated by Tory rhetoric. Meanwhile, as inflation bites, growth stagnates, and ordinary people continue to feel the squeeze, questions about Labour’s economic vision will be under the spotlight. And then there’s the flags — a subject that has sparked fierce discussion both inside and outside the Labour Party, with critics accusing Starmer of empty symbolism while neglecting substance.

Whether you’re a politics junkie, a casual observer, or just looking for a space to laugh and shout at the chaos of PMQs, this watchalong has you covered. Get involved in the live chat, share your reactions, and join the conversation as PoliticsJOE takes you inside the drama of Westminster.
