Keir Starmer on the Conservatives, "On consistency, don't get me started" #PMQs

"5 Prime Ministers
6 Chancellors
8 Home Secretaries
16 Housing Ministers"

"They had more positions in 14 years than the Karma Sutra"

"No wonder they're knackered"

"And they left the country screwed"

Amazingly, Zahawi only got round to deleting the below after the press conference announcing his defection to Reform.

No Kemi, Trump threatening to invade a NATO ally is not a "second order issue."

It’s a direct challenge to Britain’s security and the future of NATO.

I call on my party and my government to remove themselves entirely from X and communicate with the public where they actually participate online and can be protected from such illegality.

PPE Medpro has been liquidated but because it has only £0.6m only £0.6m of the £148m debt will be repaid.

A Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 (POCA), placed against Michelle Mone and Doug Barrowman (worth £500m+) would allow all the money to be recovered.

Why hasn't it happened?

Look how visibly excited Robert Jenrick is by his brilliance as a statesman; how high on his own supply.

It is astonishing that this bitter, angry, talentless bingo-caller is considered a serious prospect in a major party. If he or Badenoch are the best they can do, what does it say about the rest?

Chris Mason isn't angry with Reeves about misleading the public. He's angry that he wasn't kept in the loop and his weeks of projections and prophesies turned out to be embarrassingly wrong.

“Cuddly” Chris Mason “ telling” us he’s found a flaw in Rachel Reeves budget. FFS ,seriously ,who gives a flying fuck? Has any budget had this much scrutiny? Get your arses in to Reforms Russian links and Farages racism, real issues.

Absolutely flabbergasted!
Since when has Chris Mason BBC, who is supposed to report unbiased news, become the judge on whether the chancellor has misled the public?
Once again, on BBC news at 1 today, he was at it again...

What on earth makes Chris Mason think it's his job to "call it"? (I'm reminded of Robert Peston's BBC editorial piece, three days before the 2015 election, which concluded that Ed Miliband hadn't apologized sufficiently for Labour's handling of the economy. Impartial, schmimpartial.)
Does Chris think Laura failed on the "call it" test?

A reminder of how the BBC covered Boris Johnson's long record of lying, as being a "complicated relationship with the truth".

Had the misfortune of seeing Chris Mason on the lunchtime news pontificating on why "in his judgement" she has misled the public.
This from the man with no known opinion on Farage and gave free passes to Truss, Kwarteng, Johnson, Gove, Hancock, Hunt and Sunak. Ghastly little man

Now Chris Mason on the impartial BBC has pronounced Reeves guilty as charged. Apparently honesty and trust is a big thing. LOOK IN THE FUCKING MIRROR BBC.

"It is my job, after a careful examination of the facts, to call it..." No it is not, Chris Mason! It is your job to report the facts and points of view on a hotly contested issue and leave me and other audience to make up their own minds! www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Chris Mason: Why, in my judgement, Reeves was misleading on one specific point
The Chancellor chose not to share some information on tax receipts in an unusual press conference, given before the Budget.

Why is Chris Mason on the news saying that, in his judgement, the Chancellor had misled MPs? Isn't his job to report the news and let the viewers make up their own mind, rather than editorializing?

Feel like using "careful" twice in the same sentence is a bit embarrassing.

Chris Mason has openly told viewers (BBC News at One) his personal view of Rachel Reeves. I do not watch the News and pay a licence fee to listen to the view of a man I don’t have any respect for. I want to form my own opinions and I’m quite capable of doing so. He overstepped the mark.

We don’t want anyone’s “opinion” thanks very much Chris Mason. But fair and balanced facts would be a good start. You being the BBC political editor and such.

Rather than Chris Mason crying salty tears as he so reluctantly castigated the Chancellor for not telling him everything, perhaps the obvious BBC editor should have been asked. I refer to the serious economics editor, Faisal Islam, who had many years at #SkyNews and #c4news.

Chris Mason presuming to make a call on my behalf. I wouldn't have him queue for a shared lavatory on my behalf.
No that's not *your* on *our behalf*. Your job is to report the story, presenting all sides fairly and then *we* call it. What Mason is saying here is fundamentally not what the bbc is for!

That Chris Mason is a smirking, smug little weasel, even worse than Kuenssberg. The BBC must get its political correspondents out of Reform’s waste bin.

Indeed. This is not the BBC's job and to make it worse, in the same piece, Chris Mason again lurches into opinion and gives government carte blanche when he absolutely should not have!
