- Keir Starmer launched an attack on Rishi Sunak at PMQs on Wednesday, pointing out the new prime minister lost the initial Tory leadership race to Liz Truss 'who herself got beaten by a lettuce'.

The Labour leader took advantage of Sunak's first prime minister's questions to confront him on his wealth, on non-dom statuses and on a leaked video that emerged in the summer of Sunak in Tunbridge Wells saying he diverted public money from 'deprived urban areas'. Sunak responded by saying Starmer 'rarely leaves north London', adding that 'if he does, he will know that there are deprived areas in our rural communities, in our coastal communities, and across the south'.

sunak is very deceptive and contradicts when he is speaking to Tories vs what he speaks in public... he is for sure Tories first, UK after person and will ruin the economy. delaying GE will be more disastrous for Tories if he remains the leader.. i doubt he can survive long
The worst thing that has ever happened to the UK Sunak.
Sunak is due to sign a trade deal with India. India has around 2 plus Billion population of which only 5 percent are educated. He can destroy our country with immigrants flood us .
Parliament is literally a stand up comedy show
except its not funny....

The lettuce would have been a better PM than what's-her-name.
Lettuce: stonks
You making this comment for a laugh is OK, but for the man who wants to be prime minister it is cheap and undignified.
Did the lettuce get its own lecturn?
Starmer is correct. I saw that video and he took money away from very poor areas to more affluent areas. The line “…lost to a lettuce” was hilarious
Agreed.
@@hassyg4083 Under the Labour, the poor north did not get better off - see the records.
@@lqzls thats what i mean whoever is in power north stays poor
@@hassyg4083 this is true .. the North is always neglected .. but honestly do you thing Tories will do better then Labour on this .. Tories take money greedily from us all and break the economy at large ... Neglect is one thing of course .. but ACTIVELY funnelling money away for the rich is a different beast entirely. I would rather be ignored then mugged
Hope Britons discard sunak if tries "modi stunts !!""🤔
Sunak literally stood up so confidently then proceeded to answer absolutely nothing from the prior speaker
Well he learnt from the expert of dodging questions and empty statements.

Rishi barely says anything and his party are like "YEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!"
initial rally around the PM. as they all inevitably turn on each other and implode I suspect gov benches will become a lot quieter
So just another day in parliament then. Regardless of the party or the person these fools are all the same and are as shady and wriggly as each other lol. Best not to worry too hard about it
Goverments always act like this, just throwing around egos and arguing like teenagers. They need to shut up and take things more seriously. They need to be quiet and learn to have discussions.
Theres a lot more tories than labour in the chamber
These British Rap Battles are weird
It’s actually a roast battle , rap needs Rythm

ur is
It's bad enough to be the person who lost to a head of lettuce. But to be the person who lost to the person defeated by a head of lettuce is level of humiliation very few will ever witness.
That lettuce line from Starmer had me 😂
Just shows how childish he is looking for a cheap laugh from his harpies
Can you explain this line? I am not well versed with British politics

Shameful.
He doesn’t even know about the poor people runbridge wells is as bad as he has seen lol
Not everyone in 'posh' places are wealthy. I live in Surrey and there are plenty of people who rely on food banks and donations.
Thats Royal Tunbridge Wells. I bet it matters.
@@KnightoftheLord1
Tunbridge Wells can, in no way, be described as deprived.
I live in Surrey too, BTW, so I'm well aware of the levels of reletive poverty.
@@KnightoftheLord1 im sure that Rishi is thinking about those people, rather than the much larger & more obvious demographic.
As an outside observer(Australian), Sunak definitely avoided questions but replied in a confident and animated way. It was all waffle, but it was direct and distracting waffle which made his replies have impact. 100% more effective than Truss but wouldn't hold up to scrutiny if QT allowed it. Interesting how different he behaved verses his address at Downing Street where he sounded like a computer. It seems he is very skilled in deflection which will be disastrous for the UK unless Starmer can pin him down effectively.
Yes he does seem to be very efficient in dodging questions and answering in a very effective way that creates hope for the viewer - it nearly worked on me
He lost in September Conservative members aren’t with him
But you don’t leave north London
Pound UP ✅GILT YIELDS DOWN ✅RISHI SUNAK DESTROYING STARMER ✅
He is very naturally charismatic but keep in mind his net worth is around 730 million pounds. He was born into a wealthy family and has only gotten richer since. There is literal video proof of him laughing at the concept of having working class friends.
Its important to really focus on the content of what is being said and not how it is being said. I know a lot of supporters of Sunak are claiming that his critics are racist which I think is just vapid identify politics; I’d equally hate to have an old white woman, a young black man or whatever combination of identities if they were born into wealth and have no understanding of the average person’s life especially during a living costs crisis.
Spending needs to be paid for… but not by me.

This made me laugh more than it should XD
HAHHA
Am I the only one who hasn't lost sight of the fact that Rishi Sunak was Chancellor for the last two or so years and all the current financial chaos is in fact a VERY large part his fault? or is he going to hope no one notices and blames Kwarteng who was in the job for at most a month. Amazing he now wants to hit the country again with austerity when he was only too eager to throw bundles of cash only months before.
You just can't stand to see POC doing better than you, racist bigot.
Yeah! There may be some others too... But one thing is clear, time duration, whether it's 44 days or 2yrs, is not a measuring factor to measure the level of bankruptcy that the country has gone through... If funding 30 billion to NHS during critical times is equivalent to slashing corporate taxes by more than 45% for the country's elite or to giving freebies (Energy bill) without proper funding and plan, then it's, I don't know, probably stupidity. 🤔🤔
well said
The chaos of a pandemic and a war in Ukraine? Are you simple?
Because he did furlough??? Hello, remember the pandemic?
Sunak basically evaded all questions. Not what people look for.
I feel like we already need a new pm 😂
Yea I agree
He won't last long..
Gotta practice delayed gratification. Wait. Give time. Observe. Don’t make conclusions from a stand up comedy show.
@@elmerfudd6305 yea give it couple of months
Starmer should do the job😂
I'll never understand how they build such confidence that they can openly be so morally corrupt and convince themselves it was the right thing to do
Starmer's taking no prisoners.
He's a lawyer of some renown. He knows a rhetorical opening when he sees it.
I cannot believe that the lettuce is now such a significant part of Liz Truss' tenure that it is referenced by the leader of the opposition himself
Not a shred of morals, ethics and honesty in Mr Sunak
Sunak is a c t

What is the point of PMQs when its basically just a PM Avoiding questions every time
I love this sort of adversarial debate. Great format!! Shows a lot about the people and their support.
Sunak looks and sounds like a shill, I know it is about deflecting but he didn't answer anything really in PMQs [I saw the whole video]
What's the point in having PMQs if he's not even going to answer the questions
poking fun at each other in their posh palace while the world burns
The show must go on eh 👍🏼
Just call a general election because this Starmer guy is hilarious!
They are not answering each other's questions.
At long last we are seeing a bit of passion and humour from Starmer. He's got a sitting target with the current Conservative party who couldn't organise a drinks party in an establishment built to manufacture drinks!!!!!👍
And when they do organise drinks parties they get fined for it.

Time to fix the system or find an alternative then. The liberal triumphalism has been proven to be a massive hubris after all.
This actually really disappointed me. Instead of Rishi answering these questions head on. He did the typical Tory thing of glorifying his answer like he is hyping up the next big sporting event. The Tories really are their own worst enemy.

Roasting each other with civility
Anyone want to open a book on how many times Fishy Rishi will say the phrase "Take difficult decisions"?
when he says take difficult decisions i take that to mean rob the poor again
We need PR to end this childish politics forever.
Dodging and deflecting questions is an art ..
It wasn’t an attack if he is speaking the truth though?
Rishi got rinsed
Damm that is mean!!! Enjoyed every bit 😆
starmer bullied sunak and he couldnot answer even one question
"Allow me to not answer that question and spout out boilerplate"
That's what ALL politicians do irrespective of party.

Nothing .
I love how you people are realizing that you still live in a monarchy, lol.
Couldn’t have said it better
Yes, if you completely ignore the deputy labour leader Angela Reyner who left school at 16, and probably several others.
It's almost like private education, where teachers are better paid and treated, is more beneficial and respected than state schooling...weird.
@@eleSDSU I'm not a fan of the royals but this has nothing to do with being in a monarchy. We vote these parties in democratically. As a nation we chose this option over the alternatives, sadly. And who are "you people"?

Do you think Labour will win the next GE? I am an outsider to British politics.
I really hope so mate, not even from a political standpoint. The Conservative party have no leaders who dont either lie every day or collapse the economy as soon as they get into power. However, if Sunak manages to grow the economy (which I believe he can) it will be a tight race for the next GE, with the conservatives pointing at how they fixed the mess they themselves made.
Ha ha! My favourite comment
@@scrubs3050 it's pretty likely, tho if you asked a year ago I would have said no way. I think the illusion the Tories have been pushing has finaly begain to brake and people are seeing that. it's gonna' be closer than people think

Can’t we the people force a general election. Rishi is the most disgusting human being I’ve ever seen. That video of him boasting about taking funding from poor areas to instead use in wealthy areas. It’s just totally unacceptable.
He is disgusting bc he is rich and brown
Starmer isn't joking about, Sunak better toughen up real quick or he'll get pounded on real hard! 🤣

Hate to say it but the tories will definitely recover Somewhat under Sunak: he told a load of lies in PMQ’s but he said it with SO much more confidence than truss in a way that will fool a lot of people. Reminds me a bit of David Cameron from 2010-2015
That is why David Cameron was sometimes referred to as : "Dodgy Dave".

Search Sunak Garden party, you'll see him addressing Tory members in a manor estate (and not the deprived rural home he falsely claims)
When is the Guardian Closing.?
I really don't understand how this kind of debate is seen as a normal thing. Their only goal is to humiliate the other, absolutely no intent of actually find a solution for anything. Zero pragmatism, this is pretty much a reality show but at the people's expense.
What a reply💥💥💥

Starmer is growing on me, at this point I would vote for... well... a lettuce... over a Tory politician either way, but at least Starmer seems finally to be growing a spine in front of the Tories!
Startmer is going to close his mouth. Because this side now Rishi sunak
the problem is I'm my understanding starmer is powerless to bring about a general election
Only thing he can do is call a vote of no confidence but that needs a majority which is unlikely to pass
When Gordon Brown succeeded Tony Blair as PM without there having been an election, he was the seventh PM to have done so since 1945.
There is no requirement to call an election when this happens and Labour knows it.
So.....what is his job then? What does starmer do in office.
