But, you know, you go back to the Commons where debates on policy would happen.
When there is a debate on policy in the House of Commons, the second reading of the whatever bill, the place is empty because no one is interested in that.
They come in for prime minister's questions.
They want to see a punch up.
They want to get written up on X or wherever it happens to be so that they get a good review of their performance in the comments.
Who won PMQs?
I just think that, you know, so maybe she's smart.
Maybe she's just being smart about the way you play modern politics, which is to come out with ready made quotes and clips about.
that will play well on x or insta or facebook or wherever it happens to be i mean my my question i suppose is is does she go too far is it does it tilt into that question of whether it's bullying or whether it's mean girls or whether it's just plain unpleasant that you just think oh i mean i you know i mean when when norman tebbit was kind of right by thatcher
Norman Tebbit did the boot boy stuff, the Chingford skinhead.
He put the boot into all these politicians.
That just sort of rose above some of that.
Whereas Kelly Badenock has taken it upon herself to be the boot person as well.
Yeah, and that is also a good question.
I question whether today's PMQ's performance helps her in that area.
I think that, I know for a fact that, you know, some of the people that are advising her about how she needs to kind of shape the leadership and get the party in the direction, it's going.
Loved the way she reacted
towards henry novak and thought it was very smart politics thinking about you know the way they fought aberdeen south and concentrating on the government's energy policies and the shortcomings there that was all very smart and i think that they worry about nastiness and coming over as a sort of you know as you say snarky always snarky i've actually think generally speaking um she uh look she has her own style in this sort of
warm sane comfortable place but actually don't dare lose yes i don't dare lose yeah look i think they're they're unless it's a debate that has gone on for years and years and years that people say they want a calmer more moderate prime minister's questions no they don't
They want the spectacle.
