- The Prime Minister, Theresa May, took questions from MPs in the House of Commons on Wednesday 31 October 2018.
www.parliament.uk/business/ne...
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.

I really do admire Britain for its fantastic debating culture in parliament. In Germany, parliamentary debates usually are so boring compared to the British ones!
Yes we have great debating culture, but don't get anything done. I'd rather a boring debate which actually solves issues.
Ordaaaaaa orrrder
I'm American and absolutely mean no disrespect whatsoever, but I have to say I love these PMQs. The House is like free, live entertainment!
Audre Myers as a English man .i think the simpsons come a close 2 nd lol
Thank you for not taking offense as none was intended. Maybe you can explain something? When the speaker calls a person's name to speak, a whole bunch of people stand up and then sit down...who are those 'other' people, not the person called? Thank you!
Audre Myers it is in tradition in England .that the people standing .seek to catch the eye of the speaker .who they are asking a question .the remainer sits down .as the speaker calls the name of the person he has chosen to speak . Love from Britain
Thank you; I thought maybe it some kind of show of support for the person chosen to speak. Love back at you from sunny Florida.
Yeah it is very entertaining to watch.
All love and support from across the pond to Jeremy Corbyn , a true English lion, teaching progressives everywhere how to fight neoliberal debauchery across the world.
Well the comments section isn't as much of a cesspit as I would have expected, bravo people!
WOAH, COMMENTS ENABLED.
Yeah
To those who have everything, more shall be given; from those who have nothing, all shall be taken. (Theresa May: 30.18)
If they have nothing how can anything be taken away?
@@tomatobrush3283 I didn't write the bible. I'm just quoting from it. And don't be a twat, vote labour!!
@susan ferrie Thank you Susan. They really are morally bankrupt and we knew for sure they were incompetent. I'd like to see the likes of May live in a cardboard box and eat out of a bust bin.
Gregory Van Der Mewve things like health care can be taken away, nowhere to sleep, remember Royal wedding homeless people were threatened to stay away.
Joey Jones Labour？
brilliant, allowed to comment, what was not mentioned about the tax cuts, was that NI contributions are going up to cover them
Errrr are comments usually allowed?
I don't think so
I don't think so either. It's a Halloween miracle.
Comments are not allowed from a sedentary position!
@@DeadmanDXfan Greetings from South Korea. Our parilament did not allow writing commeents. I am pretty sad that miracle didn't happen in Korea😑😑
@@user-ds2mc1ps5n Greetings from China... We don't even have a parliament for asking questions😄😄
Prime Ministeeeeeeeeer Order Order
Thought I'd join in with the once in a lifetime enabled comments...cool thanks, bye!
If people don't comment correctly, moderate them and don't allow insults and profane language. But surely the comment section must be allowed... wouldn't it be rather hypocritical of a "parliament video" not ot allow youtubers to give their opinion?
right on - these debates are always fun to watch - the UK has some very skilled politicians
Mondeeeee, yesterdeeee
Oh what a bad move it was enable comments.
I'm all for free speech and the freedom of individuals to express their self in anyway they see fit. I just realise this is the internet and people aren't as like minded as me and they cannot simply disagree without turning it into a pissing match over who's unrefined political ideology is better.
Hehe :) I think its a bold but reckless move :D Especially given that most MPs can barely string a sentence together let alone negotiate a piss-up in a brewery...
I would debate you, but I do enough debates about politics for my degree during the day, and reading about in my nights. I don't fancy it tonight, but thanks anyway
@pammens miss cheers, I'll try my best!
@@SailorGreenTea Bizarre but interestingly irrelevant points you raise ShWeJaPa. Are you a feminist by any chance? (mwahaha!)
Very good

Admire it, it's more interesting and entertaining than any TV show.
Thank goodness Asia Bibi is released poor woman ...I hope she has a safe and contented life ...I truly hope so.
Lolololol “ending austerity”
It’s Halloween not April fools day
It is time we cut the size of government.
Hey can one of my British friends tell me why they didn't have (or I can't find) a PMQ for 7 November 2018???
I can't understand the first speaker and looking at other MP's faces I am not the only one.
Michał Rzeczycki - True that! 🤓 ha...And they live in the same kingdom, & in pretty close vicinity, compared to say, an American, to another American.
I guess though, that there are people who wouldn't understand me, and my NY accent, as well. ha
I tried for over 10 years to find out what happened to my pension from a company name "Petroline Wellsystems" in Aberdeen Scotland who i worked with from 1997 to November 2001 without success!!!!!
Wow! Comments are now enabled!
Any Halloween with May in Downing Street is a scary one
I love watching the Brits debate. The style is so very different than in the US
ORDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Get em John!
Comments? Comments!!! What what!?
Someone can explain me why on the first question the first MP just says "Question n.1, Mr. Speaker" then the Prime Minister makes the introduction and after that the first MP submits his question? Just a tradition?
This actually is very entertaining.
Come to my country and you’ll see parliamentarians throwing chairs, microphone, etc on each other 😁
It’s a game of who lies the least.
Keep it prime minster
By tradition they stand to try and get the speakers eye so that he will invite them to say something. It rarely works in PMQs.
Prime minister love how is talk !
I don`t know why after PM ask the prime minister there were some PM stand up? please explain this point to me! thank you in advanced.
Standing up means they agree or support the point made by questions.
@@user-ds2mc1ps5n Thank you very much. i really love that debate.
@@thanhminhcao3356 me either. Parilament debate in Korea is just a total massacre. So i watch UK instead 😂🤣
@@user-ds2mc1ps5n There wasn't debate in VietNam. LOL
can you keep comments enabled in the future? thanks, it's often important to see the different opinions on certain topics
Hammond’s face haha
1m 38seconds I feel like like the puzzled look here! Are we both thinking of the man with the yellow lead dangling down from his neck. What language is he speaking? Can anyone tell us? I believe it is not Welsh or English. Any thoughts, anyone?
have you noticed that everytime theres prime minister questions there always saying something about how they are sending their prayers to some tragic event. sounds like theres always something
going on
103 comments and not 1 mention of His Holiness Nigel Farage. Brexiteers, wherefore art thou?
be a good day when we leave the eu
Robyn Hoode is this the same guy who spewed up lies about leaving the EU and when his lies came to light, he hid?
Yes 'tis he. No longer down the boozer, more likely in Bermuda.
S ir Nigel is touring the country, rating the peoples army to ensure the referendum result is carried out as per the winning option on the ballot paper.
LEAVE MEANS LEAVE NOW.
Now who is anti-democratic
All sides are being watched by the people. Who is a true Patriotic democratic person worthy of our support?
10 years of pain on the working class . a couple of "treats" is an insult
We should be grateful lol, they could have fucked things up further for us and told us they were 'helping'.
The welfare class is not the working class, don't confuse the two.
My reqwest ALL TO parliament Theresa appreciated ensure ALL remember thanks so very much a place peaceful
She lies! Oh Jeremy Corbyn -Go Jezza!
I find it fascinating that, week after week, many questions and comments are not only repetitive, the responses are as well. How often, for example, have we heard Mr. Corbyn raise the issue of tax cuts to low income families, and schools and police and prison funding should be raised, etc... and Mrs. May responds with exactly how this, in reality, is being accomplished? Heartfelt debate is indeed a wonderful thing, but all I've recently seen is an opposing man "setting 'em up" only for a leading (and imho quite capable) woman to "keep knocking 'em down."
Yes, (whereas I meant the arguments posed by Mr. Corbyn are similar to bowling pins that Mrs. May keeps throwing strikes at.) House of Commons = fascinating!
INFO
I come here just to watch her debate with Corbyn.
Do we really learn anything from PMQ,s?
No comments about the helicopter crash in her opening remarks from the PM?
Its deplorable
@@ivanjolly3105 PMQ is not a news round-up of the week,
But the football fraternity is contributing so much to the economy..Its one of those exports uk is heavily relaying on..
Lord God for how much longer must we endure this evil being?
One of the more "lively" PMQ's that I've seen, in a while. 🤓 ha
My goodness, comments are allowed! It it like witnessing the occurrence of a new generation! May the kingdom prosperous as ever!
is it me or was treason may struggling to talk properly due to the amount of lies come out of its mouth also this woman supplied the saudi with weapons to commit inhumane acts against the people of yemen
Yawn.
It's not just you, lots of us think the same.
I know this for sure, if I had a interview and I er erred multiple times like Theresa May did, my ability for that position I applied for would be questioned.
Never ever trust a tory.
I'm Scottish, but that guy who asked the question was an embarrassment on a few levels..
It sounds all to good to be treu 😌
How is it possible to cut for the benefit and support in the same period off time. And than the depts subject as last. Who is gonna pay for the depts and who gonna put the fire down when the trades are not attractive anymore
What are the flowers everyone is wearing and why?
Are you serious?
The remembrance poppy is an artificial flower that has been used since 1921 to commemorate military personnel who have died in war, and represents a common or field poppy, Papaver rhoeas. Inspired by the World War I poem "In Flanders Fields", and promoted by Moina Michael, they were first adopted by the American Legion to commemorate American soldiers killed in that war (1914-1918). They were then adopted by military veterans' groups in parts of the British Empire.
Today, they are mostly used in the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, to commemorate their servicemen and women killed in all conflicts. There, small artificial poppies are often worn on clothing leading up to Remembrance Day/Armistice Day, and poppy wreaths are often laid at war memorials.
@asmo23: Whether BlueHen123's query was troll-y or indeed serious, you have answered his question with informative depth and respect towards him/her as well as towards the occasion. Quite commendable, asmo23. Thank you for sharing.
Tim D. Morand I just copied it from the Wikipedia page mate ;)
I think he was serious, you could be from outside the UK and be interested in the current politics.
As an EU national, I didn't know about the remembrance poppy when I came to live in the UK, it is not well known outside the English speaking countries.
Jesus....
ovvvv, yeahhhh sounds coming background, what an unserious environment or maybe I am not used to british politics.
Needs more Jacob Rees-Mogg!
RAH COMMENTS ARE ENABLED
I admire Britain for democracy and discussion in the parliament. In Russian there is no discussion and democracy is the word that we never used
Comment section enabled? What could possibly go wrong? British Politics look as fucked up as ours over here in the USA.
The 31 October 2019. We are going to leave the EU and deliver Brexit.
They behave like children.
YYEEEAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH.

11:00 What the hell is a Quemis, Jeremy?
El parlamento británico parece un parvulario.
Wow, comments!!?
Nothing really unexpected here.
Love corbyn
Any kweshene I can answer
wrong move lad, enabling the comment section would certainly making this content a definite joke.
This is like comedy hour. What Is with all the noise and interruptions? How rude, immature and childish! Why are there people that stand up behind the PM, before she speaks and after? What does that mean?
If you want to speak, you must stand.
Odda, Odda!
Few of us will benefit from the Budget again. If you earn £35501 or more then yes the 2019 increase to £50000 before you pay 40% tax will make those better off. So, as usual, all I get is the personal allowance increase...Thanks for very little again.
That's about £130 A year haha.......aren't we lucky!
@PAGE 😃........hard to decide lol!
shes so out of touch she thinks a freeze in fuel duties will help the worst off - the worst off don't even have cars because you can't run a car on 75£ per week. the poorest people are ignored like they don't even exist to the torys.
She and the rest of the Tories need to go. So many lies. It's the poorest that are suffering.
Alternative s there are numerous be :(
better of from 2010, things are more expensive so there not really saving are they ?
Yes yes

Comments allowed? We are very incorrigible delinquents here on youtube. I believe my right honourable commenters shall also find pleasure in this opportunity.
Oh hey Theresa May changed the "anchor-chain" necklace finally!
8:09 “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, and will never address as there is no incentive to admit to flaws when they regard the flaws 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 with each other in a fruitful, productive fashion. No constructive progress in political discourse can ever forge ahead unless the opposition entertain the assumptions of the opposition 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 puts an unnecessary wedge between people and creates narrow ideologies. 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. This can only be achieved in a debt-free monetary system; otherwise known as the system of national credit.
Your going back to square one with Brexit.
Equaliser It’s “you’re.” What are you talking about? What is the relevance of Brexit in the point I’ve raised above?
I absolutely agree. Both sides, whether we voted for them or not, are supposed to represent the will of the people, and the will of the people is not to shout at their neighbour. It's depressing to see them bicker endlessly in a to and fro with the goal of getting one over on the opposition, rather than problem solving.
When the topic of cancer comes up, for instance, they all fall into line and hearhearhearrrrr. Why? Well, maybe they still have some sense of humanity, but I believe it's more because that's a red area - they risk catastrophic loss of rapport if they disagree. And it's only times like that that they behave in a constructive manner. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy that they want to do something about it, but they bicker on everything else rather pointlessly, rather than critiquing positions in a civilised manner.
So, they make their decisions outside of the commons, and come in only to shout at eachother. What's even the point of the commons, then? To entertain some of the foreigners in this comments section laughing their heads off at what they call comedy? Come on, that's not good. People in countries that haven't existed for one hundred years, let alone as long as ours has, are literally laughing at us because they have better behaved parliaments than us. That's really, really bad.
Demoncard Precisely. In matters concerning vulnerabilities of the human condition, you will immediately notice a seamless transition to a somber, composed demeanour throughout the commons chamber. It is only when the subject changes to matters relating to the budget that you will see, once again almost immediately, the mask fall off and a new mask that comprises sneers, cockiness, rowdiness, childish gestures, condescension and sardonic wit take its place. Why does this happen? Partly by virtue of the fact that the human condition is emotionally palpable and partly due to the perverse degree of lack of self-awareness at play. On the other hand, the 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 the design occasion, and 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 framework of an assumed premise and avoid to look at the economic tools and institutional arrangements complicit in occasioning the problem in the first place? Instead the focus is zoomed in 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 serves 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 culture that favours epic drama over serenity furnished by truth.
Nobody needs the left, the left are the ones who are responsible for the misery in europe
Can't help but notice how well behaved the pro and anti Brexit Tories have been the last week. I smell a stitch up.
I also detect something going on between McDonnell and Cob? Is there some problem in the utopia that I have not heard of?
Alas, I guess we are just going to have to sort out the mess of Chequers post-brexit. It may take us years, but we will eventually be free of the EU.
I guess the "Maybot" finally found the "magic money tree". What a shame she shook it the wrong
places!!!
The UK and USA are so close. Mother Britain and daughter America hand in hand. Beautiful.
In my mind where has this money all come from plus if they have just found this money it doesn’t say much for the government accountants! Did they lose it.
Many things are 'lost'. 140 files for a start. Bet she could find 'em again if necessary.
Why do MPs stand up all the time?
I believe its to let the speaker know, that they wish to speak. American here so take that as you will.
I will tell her what has gone down Morality with this woman and her lackys

And just saying I wish another Margaret Thatcher came along

Too many long, waffling questions and answers. Shorter questions and answers needed.
Tax the hell out of empty properties and unused urban land so that they are used or sold, sell Housing Association stock to residents and get rid of these (wasteful, corrupt) 'associations', and return to council housing as before - replacing crap on brown sites with decent, well insulated, well built council houses for reasonable rent. Do it!
And don't waste money on advisors etc re. High streets/centres just lower charges all round (and no tax relief for big online companies none - tax them solidly like everyone else - now.)
Why sell off Housing Association properties? We've learned from the mistakes of selling off council owned property haven't we? It has caused a big problem for lower income individuals and the government as it means more people in private rented housing - higher rents and in turn higher benefit payments as lower income individuals usually are in and out of work.
I used to work with a woman that had social housing, she had a job, I was paying twice her rent, very unfair. Social housing needs a big audit and all these free loaders need kicking out on to the street, where they can pay full market price for rent like everyone else. Then social housing can be given to people that need it, old people and people with disabilities. Not lazy free loaders.
@@tomatobrush3283 If the woman you worked with was working then how was she a lazy free-loader? Your comment doesn't make sense. Social Housing is meant for people that can't afford private sector rents.
Why does she need social housing if she is working? She is lazy-free loader because she asks for social housing when she should be paying market price like all other people working.
Social housing is meant for people that can not work because they are too old or have disabilities. Not for for people that have jobs but just want to pay less rent.
If she can't afford a one bedroom flat in Islington then she should rent a room in a shared house like millions of other struggling working professionals. Too many people taking the social housing system for a ride.
@@tomatobrush3283 You are misguided on so many grounds I'm not going to try and debunk but just laugh instead😄
How is it possible that education in the UK is a thing to discuss.
Education only for the ones who really want. Espacially know you need found a good budget for the independed UK. Jobs and work learning places are more good for the familys. A father or mother whitout a future perspective is useless having there kids at schools. So they are taking care off parents in the UK. Useless things.. firts thing first

WHAT???!!!! COMMENT SECTION ENABLED? LET THE TOXICITY BEGIN!!!!!!!!!!
American Speech Speeches Spichis Spichice Shutt Shutt Not Dubling
Financial crash is coming. The past decade of "austerity" is nothing compared to what's coming. They all know it unless they are stupid. Further, Jeremy cannot mention people suffering without the moans and groans of the pigs in dinner jackets.
I'm starting to think the austerity campaign is to prepare us for the permanent decline in living standards and economic prospects that will be the norm after the next crash.........and it will be a crash!
Alex Bright the crash has been predicated for years that have come and gone including 2017. It is coming but don't think it is yet something will need to happen to USA and dollar first.
