If you mean blustered, refused to answer the question and then lost his rag, then yes he did.

It's his style. Your man is lacking in anything positive at any time. Unelectable.

I never said Keir Starmer was my man but why should Starmer be positive? The very definition of his job is to lead the opposition against the government! He's there to hold the government to account and that's what he's doing. Maybe he could be positive if the Tories weren't giving away taxpayers money to their mates and relatives in dodgy contracts.

Johnson doesn't have a style. He bumbles and bluffs his way through everything and thinks rules that apply to everyone shouldn't apply to him. In no way could it be said Johnson put Starmer on his arse during those PMQs. He pointedly refused to answer Starmer's questions directly and was visibly rattled by the end.

Wouldn’t be surprised if he was a Tory plant at this point

A lot of people are fancying Andy Burnham for next leader. If anyone can stop the rot, it’s him.

So where's the left vote going then ? Or is it that the Left always vote left but there just isn't the attraction in Labour to the floating voter ?
