You really should try reading more intelligent publications Brian.
Here is one more intelligent take on PMQ's

Here is another

Both entertaining in different ways and both far better written than anything that rag of your is capable of producing Brian.

have to agree totally with brian, i have given up watching pmq's - the fools there think we are supposed to be impressed by their playground behaviour.
enough to turn people off politics for life.

Have to say at PMQ he does tend to get rattled very quick
not the best part of his character as he loses control

There are some very clever, witty people in Parliament and one can learn from them. Dennis Skinner is one of the best. On one occasion he declared in the House: 'Half the Tory members opposite are crooks'. He was ordered by the Speaker to withdraw the remark, and said; 'OK, half the Tories are not crooks'.

Skinner is quick witted and amusing but not what I want from my politicians. I want honest, responsible, trustworthy oh that won't work! I might have to settle for witty

I often wonder what Dennis Skinner has done to benefit his constituents. Shouting in the commons about all sorts of things doesn't help them much.

Well he must do something for his constituents, they have continually voted for him since 1970!

Totally safe seat before he became the honourable member. Mantlepiece at Hartlepool and Blair at Sedgefield did nothing much for their constituents and were rarely seen there. The voters in both liked having someone famous representing them, would any of us have heard of Bolsover otherwise?

Plenty of good constituency MP's that don't hog the limelight on the telly, something the yellows have excelled at over the years.
For a while I had Tony Banks as my MP, safe seat so he could do what he liked for the constituency which was basically nothing. I was taken in at first by his charismatic style then it became clear that he was an empty vessel making a lot of noise.
