- The Prime Minister, Theresa May, answered questions from MPs in the House of Commons on Wednesday 10 April 2019.
www.parliament...
Question Time in the House of Commons is an opportunity for MPs to question government ministers about matters for which they are responsible.
Prime Minister's Question Time, also referred to as PMQs, takes place every Wednesday that the House of Commons is sitting and gives MPs the chance to put questions to the Prime Minister.
In most cases, the session starts with a routine 'open question' from an MP about the Prime Minister's engagements. MPs can then ask supplementary questions on any subject, often one of current political significance.
The Leader of the Opposition, Jeremy Corbyn, asks six questions and the leader of the second largest opposition party asks two.

WARNING: these videos are highly addictive
Especially when speaker Bercow yells ''Jerrremyyy Corbyyyyyyn'', what a voice!
This is honestly the best comedy/reality tv show I’ve seen for a while
Nier do you honestly find it funny? I find it bloody worrying! The behaviour of our politicians is deplorable and the speaker should stamp down on it hard.
In British politics it is almost impossible to understand which party to vote for. Jeremy Corybn says conservatives cut funding to deprived council areas, then May stands up and says that they actually increased funding, then Corbyn stands up and says they did not... and on and on and on.
I desperately want the United States to implement a ‘President’s Questions Hour’! Imagine it...
You clearly don't understand the difference between a president and prime minister. There's a reason the constitution didn't include question time
Kacey H educate me
I have had enough of these dishonest,self serving .duplicitous people.The word honourable,frequently used in the commons,should immediately be declared a capitol offence and punished accordingly.These people are not honourable,I doubt they even know the meaning of the word!
Thank you for uploading these, particularly with subtitles. Really helpful. More people should know these videos exist.
@Stephen London
- what language subtitles are you thankful for ?
@Stephen London - Are you American like I am ? If you need english subtitles because you can't understand the various British dialects , than you are pathetic . Long time ago I could understand British English as well as American English . All you have to do is concentrate and listen ! They have many different figures of speech and different terms but if you listen to them in context you can figure them out .
@@anonfrank546 Calling someone pathetic for finding it difficult to understand an accent is unnecessary and cruel.
For all you know English is not their first language, also the subtitles make this more accessible to people with hearing problems as well as language barriers.
@@pdsmith8266 I stand corrected . My apologies if someone has speech and hearing problems , or those who do not know english ..... But I read and hear from so many of my fellow Americans who say they can't understand the various accents of British and Irish English and different terms and figures of speech they use . Again , I maintain if you focus and listen carefully you can figure out what they are saying and what they mean . Perhaps I have more years experience listening to British, Irish and Australian english than most of my fellow Americans , i don't know .
@@anonfrank546 I cant hear sound.
lower council tax?? pfft.... my council tax rose this year instead...
Annual Council Tax rises are the norm in Wales. With year on year cuts driven by Tory austerity ideology meaning less services this amounts to a form of daylight robbery not seen since Dick Turpin. I really don't know what it's going to take before those who are impoverished and disenfranchised rise up.
Tax cuts for the wealthy do not create jobs in the UK . That is a fact . Corbyn is absolutely correct when he says the May government gives tax cuts to the wealthy which is responsible for lack of money for vital public goods and services . And this privatization of public goods and services results in convoluted schemes to dissuade and deprive those in need from getting vital public goods and services . For profit companies make cuts so they can make money off the public funds . In the now semi privatized nhs there are less nurses , more misery and more deaths in a&e and in hospital . This privatization and neoliberal economics is evil and if the tories had there way most in Britain would be living in Dickens times misery , disease, death and very decreased lifespan . If the tories had there way our children would be working 14 hours a day , 7 days a week for 20 pence an hour .
Jallianwala Bagh Massacre happened in 13 April 1919 and ended with 1000 dead and almost 1500 wounded when Dyer ordered to open fire at Sikh people. The House of Commons hated this and voted against him as a colonel while The House of Lords celebrated him. UK and India needs to know what happened and how sad it was for many and how joyous for a select some.
As partisan as this debate is it's several degrees more mature than anything in the US Congress.
and several hundred degrees more interesting to watch
irishpennsylvanian And the US Congress is several degrees more stupid. How embarrassing it is to many of its citizens ... but such a reflection of most. We Americans get what we deserve.
IMHO, just leave the EU while you can.
Lol what? People screaming and shouting at each other is more mature than a bunch of old people sitting there doing nothing?
Vincent Von Dudler Gotta bring up the US somehow, right?
''Jerremy Corbyyyyyn''
Have we left the eu yet?
it probably won't happen.
Polls suggest no.
@@marie_of_the_lanesPolls? not the referendum?
@@peakhead7087 Only polls are allowed. Referendums are discontinued until the last referendum, which is irreversible, is completed to the full. Then, and only then, can there be another one.
@@marie_of_the_lanes That's not what I mean, Polls is just a data to gather and estimate if the Citizen of Britain will leave or stay. So the referendum is still the legitimate way it suggest that the Britain will leave the EU not the polls.
Oh dear jeremy
The Prime Minister failed to answer Caroline Lucas’ question. She felt attacked, got angry and deflected. Will you meet with Greta and the youth activists or not?
I recorded a provocative statement made by the Theresa May PM in a prior session of Prime Minister’s Questions in which she criticised the opposition shadow leader saying: “What would he do? His policy would mean borrowing more, taxing more and taking us back to square one.”
This sits at the crux of our political rivalry, and not once has it ever properly been addressed in Parliament. Our current debt-based monetary system engenders artificial division between left and right. The sitting government cheerfully emphasises what they have done and summarily ignores what they haven’t done, while the shadow government enters the chamber and takes an adversarial stance against the government on the basis of problems and deficiencies they have not addressed, but actually will never address as there is no incentive to admit to flaws they regard as inevitable since, in their mind, it is predicated on the belief that “there is no alternative.” Do you notice what is at the root of the problem? Our social culture underlying the political discourse is cancerous in nature. Both parties wilfully choose to speak past each other rather than engage with each other in a fruitful, productive fashion. To engage in empathic listening so as to seek to understand prior to being understood. No constructive progress in political discourse can ever forge ahead unless the opposition entertain the assumptions of the sitting government and objectively pick it apart to dispute the logic underlying their assumptions. Rather than be partisan, the political class and general public need to come to the realisation that it is the design of the current monetary system that drives an unnecessary wedge between people and creates narrow ideological pockets. We need to create a harmony of interests by merging the ideas of the left and right to produce a system that observes the desires of both simultaneously. This can only be achieved in a debt-free monetary system; otherwise known as the system of national credit.
The fiscal budget is veiled in technicality, and the tools involved behind the scenes are perceived to be entirely neutral and somehow a default in the proceedings rather than part and parcel of the problem reinforcing itself. Somehow the very mechanism which determines our economic system at its core is less interesting a subject to broach than a political debate that strictly revolves around the false dilemmas and artificially limited options occasioned by its internal architecture, thereby leaving a nation perpetually ensnared in its illusory manifestation. Is it not utterly bizarre the fact that the political class, on all sides, tackle a problem within the confines of an assumed premise and avoid to look at the economic tools and institutional arrangements complicit in occasioning the problem at its very root? Instead the focus is zoomed in on pictures of mechanisms that comprise the system in order to conduct a debate within its man-made parameters, rather than to take a systemic snapshot of the monetary design in an attempt to add, remove and rearrange elements that serve the purposes of political unity, not political tribalism which serve nothing besides ego; as a result encouraging a display of the worst qualities of the human condition. Surely it is not difficult to acknowledge the futility in trying to place a band aid on structural issues? Yet the perverse reality is that that no one poses basic, pertinent foundational questions such as, “why must a nation borrow its own money from entities that do not have any emotional ties or allegiance to the nation in which it is domiciled?” I think a lot of this disturbing phenomena boils down to intellectual laziness, but most of it can be pinned down to a cancerous, decaying culture that favours epic drama over an academic disposition that favours analytical awareness to the path of truth.
I highly recommend the following book: Sovereign Money: Beyond Reserve Banking by Joseph Huber. It is a comprehensive breakdown on how the monetary system works and how it needs to be changed along the lines I advocate.
But yet she had to go hat in hand and reach across the aisle to Corbyn.
Alexander Challis It is not productive to stir class division between the *haves* and *havenots* as it serves as a major blindspot to the underlying mechanisms of our debt-based monetary system which needlessly induces economic scarcity. I ask you to question how it makes sense for MPs’ expenses to interfere with the comprehensive provision of medical care? The notion behind allocation of scarce resources is built on a faulty monetary architecture that comprises public debt and taxation on labour as its foundation. These are limiting factors foisted upon a sovereign nation in the face of a banking industry that has a monopoly over money creation. In order to eliminate poverty and exploitation, and to expand developmental potential, the control over money creation needs to be nationalised, issued debt-free by the government. As a result, the abundance created thus far will be accessed by all, at every level, to realise actual prosperity.
You lost any and all credibility the second you used the Conspiratarded phrase "shadow government".
You need to loosen that tin foil wrapped 'round your skull darling. The tin foil is MUCH too tight!
Beeble Brox That’s the official term used to describe the political opposition. I did not use it in a conspiratorial sense.

I'm not Scottish but believe that the SNP has been spot on, on this issue.
Mays response to the SNP made no sense. Clearly the EU is very important to Scotland (just look at the regional brexit referendum results), Arguably the reason Scottish Independence was voted down was because it would mean having to start from scratch to rejoin the EU. A post-Brexit Scottish Independence may go very differently.
@@LostieTrekieTechie You are also spot on. Brexit is an English Project. Sorry, an English Fantasy. The economies of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland have been built over 40 years on the single market and EU subsidy principles. Oh, and English resentment, which is (being English) polite but passive-aggressive. The lack of an English Parliament, economic migrants or 'grooming gangs' gets conflated into a EU Referendum debate distinguished only by a lack of knowledge. "We knew what we wanted - LEAVE MEANS LEAVE!" is only fit for pubs after allocated drinking time. This is the long term future of the whole country at stake. We are now at Monday morning, with the Sat night hangover clinging on.
@@LostieTrekieTechie the May Bots automated response hasn't been updated to avoid detection.
@@martycrow Unfortunately we in Wales foolishly voted to Leave by a larger margin than England.

A full apology was made by Winston Churchill for the Amritsar Massacre, he described the incident as “monstrous” . How far back are to go with the apologies ? this happened 100 years ago !
The scars of the event are not cleared because of one apology, no matter how long ago.
@RK REVIEWS A full apology was made by Winston Churchill at the time he said it was a monstrous act at the time.
@@marie_of_the_lanes I understand that, everyone involved are dead, are their children to carry on the apologies... how many generations are enough ? how far do we go back and berate ourselves?
we are in 2019, and people are still doing stupid things. I can clearly see why the UK is becoming weaker and weaker than it used to.
17:22 - Did Matt Lucas sneak into PMQs?
Corbyn tore her apart and she resorted to blatant lies and deceit. May we please get rid of May?
And I just want to mention something about 10:55, where he mentions that “Social care is in absolute crisis;" my LAC review was earlier today, in which I was essentially told that social services couldn't afford to help me in any way with moving out, or with housing post-18. This Tory government's cuts have left me likely to have no roof by Christmas because there just isn't the money available to help in any way those who need help the most. I don't have parents to move back to; one died in 2003, the other in 2017. I don't have siblings I can move back to. None of my friends have spare beds, nor should they even have to offer beds they don't have.
"Antoinette sandbach!!!!" 12:12
She thinks she’s doing a great job
She is - for the EU!.
Her remit from them is to get the UK to accept her deal (BREXSHIT) and then she will receive her rewards.
She and Corbyn will come to an agreement just short of the time limit for the MEP elections because both of them know they will be facing UKIP & BREXIT PARTY MEP's in the future.
Get rid of this women
Ben Bridgen we must call for a vote of no confidence in Teresa Mays leadership
No Theresa June?
She won't make it to June...
pammens miss For what end?
The cause of any poverty in the UK is allowing open borders and indiscriminate immigration that created massive overpopulation in UK cities, towns, and villages. If the SNP had their way Scotland would suffer even more with the EU forcing them to take the immigrants they don't want.
Every time a tory speaks it is lies, spin and BS.

Socialism does not create wealth
@@callumhardy5098 i agree with you, my whole family when i was growing up voted for Labour religiously and i was told the tory party are evil to the poor, the rich get richer and the poor get poorer was what they'd say to me regarding the tory party. But as ive grown older became a dad, bought a car, got a mortgage ect i completely chnaged my outlook the commy labour party throughout history have fucked this country for example look at the last Labour government. Labour is the enemy of Britain. The tory government give the poor a chance to get richer.
Crystal-louise Savery
Exactly the Labour Party would rather the poor were poorer so long as the rich were less rich.
@@callumhardy5098 Labour benefits from people who blindly vote for them i was one of those voters in 2010 when i didn't pay attention to parliament but i voted for Labour because that's what i knew. When i started to pay attention to what was going on i realised im a tory they want the same as i do and there's alot people out there who like i did blindly vote for Labour when if they paid attention they wouldn't
Funnily enough every single person in the house looks like they're being chipped away at with molecular weapon technology, a lesson in stuttering pain every day this situation is. Whether that's true or a deliberate strategy I've no idea. Sad though as the weapons are on everyone 24/7.
If it's treason Mays fault, why hasn't the rest of her cabinet ministers just force her out by resigning themselves?
Awwwwwdar

They are so far from reality. They don't visit any areas. Their perception of the country, is what they see on the table during their many banquets. I have nothing but disgust for the whole lot of them.
At this point I think they found about our obsession with John Bercow’s “ODAAH”, that’s why the video starts by getting right into it. I appreciate that and would like to greatly thank whoever is in charge of the UK Parliament’s official UA-cam channel.
Why do they keep on standing up without saying anything?
Brexit or no Brexit, there isn't a single country in the world with a parliament that is as mature, as decent and as dignified as UK.
UK citizens complain far too much about their parliament, without comparing with other democracies around the world - you have absolutely no idea how good you have it in UK.
But this whole Brexit mess reminds of the old saying:
"If it ain't broke, don't try to fix it."
Before someone accuses me of being a "Remainer" or "EU sympathiser", I am not a UK citizen, and I am also not a EU citizen.
Have you seen every single parliament on the planet to say such a thing ?
MPs tend to behave like they would at the pub, this is precisely not the definition of decency and responsibility to me.
@@blkbd4984 Yes, I have seen parliamentary sessions of all democratic countries, and by far UK parliament is the most decent and dignified, by a long shot.

Ganon po ba kalaki ang contribution ng Britanya sa EU kada buwan???
I've just watched Guardian News live stream of the EU leaders (Ha !!!) arriving in Brussels to discuss an extension to Article 50. A bigger bunch of non-entities and shysters you would be hard pushed to find. My observation was - they are loving it. All these states who couldn't shine our shoes and they're lording it up for the cameras. I voted remain but am sick of it. Leave. Just leave and let Britain look after ourselves, put an end to this charade.
Remaining would also end this chaos. What convinced you that leave would actually put an end to the chaos in our country?
NamesEvad The Referendum result. I'm afraid only a General Election will begin the healing process. I'm Scottish (and voted to remain British) and it took an election, where the SNP got spanked, to begin to heal the rifts that referendum created.
@@NamesEvad the chaos was ignited by the EU from the very beginning. They decided no one should get away with article 50. Remain means sig heil to europe for not allowing the UK to leave orderly. EU sodomises the UK and apparently, remainers still want more. That's an interesting developpement.
@@NamesEvad that's just not true. Relations between the UK and EU have been soured. Working together in the Union is would be nigh impossible.

*If somebody has a good argument what would get easier, when you retreat into isolation while the rest of the world continues to trade globally, I would really like to hear it.*
Because currently I am _not_ convinced of the theory that _a nation that still has to rely on imports can profit from retreating._ My feeling is, that people often favour the anti-globalist option because of a guts feeling it might make their world _less complicated._ In reality it might easily turn out it has just the opposite effect. It is a bit like living in a society where streets get build and everybody has a car - and you are the guy who out of pure nostalghia for simpler times decides to scrap your car and go back to horse and carriage. There is only one problem: just because _you_ do, doesn't mean everybody else will. So now you are left with horse and carriage, but nothing really got simpler, you breath the exhaust fumes while everybody else overtakes you.
Don't get me wrong, globalism has its downsides. Especially when implemented by neoliberalists, who mainly want to drain every ounce of public value out of all nations, while they want to crown the big corporations as new gods. However if we as people wanna have _any influence_ against those big corporations, a big block like the EU has much more punch behind it, than any single nation within it. When the EU invited Facebooks boss Mark Zuckerberg, he came. When the UK asked him, he ignored it.
But there are other fronts where I am not really convinced:
*Trade Deals:* There was a time ~30 years ago when every nation still negotiated trade deals with single other nations. Now it is much more common to negotiate trade deals with trade blocks, instead of single states and it is easy: a block is usually more powerful than a single nation, because it is a bigger market. If your block has a bigger market you can convince others to give more concessions to enter that market (this is the same on a smaller scale when you are a manufacturer selling to distributors - if they are big and take much, they want you to give them a big margin - if they are smaller and take less, they can't really get such a big margin). Now comes the thing: _the EU is the biggest single market on earth._ That means they can get incredibly good concessions out of other trade partners - concessions _the UK would have profited from._ So the whole Trade deal argument is flawed from the start.
*Rules & Regulations:* A often cited thing that people hate about the EU is it's rules and regulations (often ignoring the fact that their own government voted for this in their EU seat). Going back to a isolated national state doesn't make things easier to understand (unless, say you really isolate your nation _completely,_ by locking your citizen in, allowing nobody to enter and prevent all legal import or export - a bit like North Korea). In fact it is far more complicated. If you are in the EU, you only have to apply EU rules. If you are outside of the EU you can apply your own rules _only if you don't export any of it._ If you want to export to the EU, you will still have to know and respect their regulations - only now you have no say in them and over 50% of the UK exports go to the EU, so unless you find a magical trading partner that suddenly has a demand for all of this you will still be bound to honor EU rules where you want to export. Oh and it will get more complicated: because what if UK law and EU law drifts appart? Certifications, Checks, ... If you wanna trade with a block that has many regulations, you won't get less regulations to handle by leaving it - you will get more.
*Migration:* I am not really sure if migration has anything to do with it at all, Germany and Austria have stricter migration laws than the UK, and they are in the EU as well. So before you blame the EU here, you might start blaming the Torries for not implementing anything like the other nations (e.g. in Germany migrants have to proof they have a company garanting them a job earning them over 1500€ for at least two years before they can even apply for anything more permanent, otherwise you have to leave within 2 months - and they have to stay in this job for the 2 years straight without interruption).
