- Watch again as Rishi Sunak faced Prime Minister's Questions on Wednesday, 24 January, after a senior Tory called for his resignation.
Sir Simon Clarke, who served in the Treasury while the now-prime minister was chancellor, said that Mr Sunak "is leading the Conservatives into an election where [they] will be massacred".
"If we change the leader to a prime minister who shares the instincts of the majority and is willing to lead the country in the right direction, we will recover strongly in 2024," the MP for Middlesbrough South and East Cleveland wrote in the Telegraph.
Other senior Tories have warned against more damaging infighting before the public go to the polls this year.
Home secretary James Cleverly said it would be “foolish” to have further dissent within the party, arguing that it would leave the door open to Sir Keir Starmer and the Labour party.
Former defence secretary Ben Wallace echoed Mr Cleverly in dismissing Sir Simon’s call to oust Mr Sunak.
"Division and another PM would lead to the certain loss of power," he said.

The army asking why they can't get recruits, I mean who would risk their life for this lot?
Spot on.
Me
@@paulhowes8181 daft bastard
so many also leaving too for same reason
The army is struggling and has been struggling to recruit since 2012 when they forcibly made thousands of fully trained, qualified soldiers redundant. I left a year later as they stole my pension, so this is the reason for this retention problem . TORIES once again with their cuts and now our country is unable to defend itself .
Faced a bunch of questions. Answered exactly none of them, as usual.
Spouted a lot of blatant lies as usual. The only way we can show that we are not stupid enough to believe him is to use our votes to crush his party at the next election & hope that his constituency follow this.
Think this session was worse than usual, Rishi just has even less answers these past few weeks. Just completely blanked on the childcare issue, didn’t even attempt an answer
I make no apologies for saying that Prime Minister's Questions is so childish that my great granddaughter would would see through it and laugh !!!
It's always been this way
its worse than kids in a play ground actually that belittles kids they behave better
you better apologise for that grrrr
It should be shown live on cebeebies
It’s great for accountability, we can see see them for what they are 😂
A complete circus of entitled spoiled brats We pay for those scammers
Im only 8 minutes in, but why do they even have these "debates"? Not a single question/accusation is answered or addressed. Every response coming out of Rishi makes it sound like the worst roast battle ever. Peak whataboutism.
It's called question time not answer time. The clues in the title.😊
This isn't a debate, this happens every Wednesday at noon, for approx 35/40mins! The debates are all the other bits in there!
@@sarabevan3468 @chatham43 Ok, that makes it somewhat better I guess. I'm not from the UK, so I'm only vaguely familiar with the people involved. I've been extra frustrated with politicians lately, so this display popping up in my feed and then being so unapologetically trashy was enough to make me comment for the fourth time on youtube, the first being 13 years ago.
Thanks for clearing it up though! I guess if they can somewhat limit this to once per week, it may even let the rest of the week be slightly more constructive. I'm at least a bit reassured that it's not what it seemed!
How has this great country descended to this?
personal greed
@@sobek well said. I need to correct myself in this regard too. Thank you.
@@DrRussell more like personal greed of the politicians. Kinda seems like everything thats happened has been to make themselves richer. Remember Rishi's wife making that billion pound oil deal early on when he became PM?
Treat dentists and doctors in a decent way and they wouldn’t go!
To busy spending billions defending a apartheid state
Watch this uniParty pantomime, watch!
C'mon they are all the same lol
If these lot spent as much time looking after the country as they do slatting each other, this country would be utopia!
Sunak sounds like he knows he’s on the way out. Atkins sat next to him like a nodding dog.
He is on his way to victory actually and Starmer will go to jail for life
@@Trendycosmetics-os6ghyou decrease the iq of everyone in the room when you open your mouth, please refrain
@user-SubvurzIVI think that bot is malfunctioning 😂
@@Trendycosmetics-os6gh Can you elaborate on that please?
They both say "never again", and yet it is happening "again" before the world's eyes, but they both refuse to see it for what it is, and just look the other way.
Absolute pantomime full of clowns
Tory clowns ....get it right !
@@peterah7957All of them.
@@tatata1543 Well I won't follow your opinion on this ....They're not all out to fleece the public and the Tories are dispicable!
@@peterah7957 I never said anything about fleecing, I said they are all clowns and I stand by that. Labour have no right des what to do about any of it either. For now they can pretend they have but they will be found out pretty quickly after the election.
Sunak is such a lying snide
Tweedledum and Tweedledee do not represent me, they are both different sides of the same coin. The US is the real power in the UK, we have lost our independence.
Sunak......Things are improving !!!!! AHAHAHHAHAHHAHHAHAHHAHAH.......
The cheek to talk about a holacaust.double standards
Does he answer any questions , NO !
WHERES THE HOLOCAUST ITS IN GAZA AND WEST BANK !!!!
The terrorist organization Hamas instigated it.
Absolutely right. Both of these Zionist Shills talk about anything but the issue of the Palestinian People facing death and destruction every day. They are a disgrace
General Election and get rid of this incompetent government and this rich public school boys!
I bet the Tories would still win the next general election because the citizens of this country dont seem to learn from their mistakes
Just get real people your all out for yourself’s no for the people about time you go ☹️
now correct me if im wrong here but when you are asked a question, you are meant to answer it are you not? if so then why is it that rishi NEVER answers a single question ever?
Ritchy W.E.F. the bank$ter boy from Goldman Sachs vs Sir CPS Keith W.E.F. Steamer of the Trilateral Commission
The Conservatives got great votes last time for Brexit, NOT Boris, NOT the Conservative party, Boris and the rest abusde the system and the public, it is too late now, you're last chance was Penny, you blew it with Rishi. Labour will win, NOT because they are better, but because they are the ONLY next option, don't let it go to your head Labour MPs you're no better, if there was another realistic choice Labour would not get in either.
reform uk mate, better policies on immigration, plans to cut down green initiative spending to cut back 300 billion and use it to make jobs
Only chance our country has is Reform
And look at post Brexit Britain, what a mess and a joke it's become.
@@combrogi And all because it was never done
@@davidoldboy5425 all because it appealed to the pathologically insane.
Yet again acting like children.
that is an insult to children
Pmqs are an absolute embarrassment to our country , this pantomime is paid for by us , the whole thing is a waste of time and there should be rules that any question should be answered truthfully without the what about isms ! I hope the representative from the Czech is not thinking this is a good way to have a parliament.
The man who were drinking wine and champagne during the lickdown speaks about crine.
Good old predictive text 😂😂
It’s like a football stadium.
Things are improving are thet sunak? Funny because we haven't felt any change at all 😂
There is no point to this as Sunak never answers a question and this useless speaker never calls him out!
What- PMQ's Really? No point? 😆
Why weren't all these MP's at the debate at Westminster Hall on the UK's excess deaths. Diabolical!
What are they trying to hide ? 🤔
Good question well presented!
Out with Sunak!!! Let our EU families inside UK!!!
I'm sure the general public wouldn't mind paying a bit more for improvement in services rather than trying to bribe the people with tax cuts that are unaffordable when services are desperate for funding.
The so called big two are not fit for purpose anymore
34 27 she said never again .... unless its on Palestine ......
Defo worried about losing his feathered nest. Poor rishi... call an election we will let you know who is in touch
Do these people actually know what is going on in OUR COUNTRY ,all they do is shout at about nothing,what a joke
Born a billionaire Sunac makes me feel sick!
Neither leader knows what the citizens want
Agreed. I’d like Labour to win but I don’t think Kier Starmer is the answer. He pivots just as much as Sunak.
And starmer head of CPS was a joke too, I know from personal experience of a case that was not supported by the CPS even though the evidence proved the guilt of the criminal as proven by the police
@@TraceyAlsopp Tory who likes the colour red imo. Also see how he punished his own party members for supporting striking workers.
He’s getting in by virtue of the Tories so unbelievably bad at just about everything.
The conbots are out in force.
The stunned Labour front bench sit in silence.
Sunak’s tone of voice when answering the ceasefire question is pathetic
It always comes to Israel’s ssecurity and Hamas, what about the Palestinians security and when do British bombs stop falling g on the heads?
We want a ceasefire and not any pause…. None of this Bull….
What has Rishi actually achieved? No suggest or put forward. Achieved.
Mr Corbyn still living in sunaks head 😂😂😂.
not my PM
So out of touch with the uk general workforce it’s ok when your a billionaire and never had to worry about money let alone lead a country with no financial understanding a good prime minister must come from not an enriched background he’s clueless
Oh my good God! If that is what government in UK is like, then I do not wonder that the UK is a bankrupt shithole! My fellow countryman, the visiting Czech dignitary, must have been as appalled and embarrassed as I am!
Over 30,000 have perished in Gaza, over 70% of whom were innocent babies, children and women, and yet the PM cannot find even a breath to mourn them.
Damn, Penny Mordaunt was looking depressed while Rishi was answering those questions!
I think she releasing that not to soon she will have to look for a proper job
That’s not penny wearing blue…
@jrr3613 Penny is also wearing blue and on the left hand side of Rishi as we look at him.
Y'know, the other depressed looking Tory, but I can understand your confusion when no one is looking particularly happy these days 😂
I'm no far of Starmer as a trans person but I must admit he is finding his feet. Loved the jab on I was actually putting people away in 2008 and the pm was making money off the working class
He's the other side from the same coin as sunak. Don't be duped by this show.
@@CimonSowel1 I literally opened with I'm not a fan. I'm just saying he did a good job putting on a show which is what pmqs is in large part
Whats wrong with Starmer in your point of view?
@@dannywholuv he has a very fuzzy record on trans issues and tbh I don't trust him as far as I can throw him because of that. You don't have to go back before my existence was illegal so frankly anyone who cannot treat me with respect will NEVER get my vote. He doesn't have to believe it himself but in the UK we are tolerant of other people. If he committed to immediately undoing the new school guidance on trans students then I'd begin to trust him but he hasn't. I'd also like to point out there is plenty of stats to show outing trans kids to their parents is a sure fire way to get them to unalive. Dead kids is not a difficult argument to make and the fact he isn't is OBSCENE!
@tbrooke3016 I know but there is still a scary amount of people out there who can't see this establishment for what it is.
And these people are leading this country? It is like the school playground!! Instead of just picking on each other and shouting, how about getting to the bottom of our problems and all work together to solve the issues that we are all worried about!! Waste of space and none worthy of my vote!!
So this is how it all ends… Us Torys are finished.
Wicked can stay forever
Good, that's reassuring.
Talking of holocaust, will you and Sunak remember also about the holocaust your are complicit to in Gaza , which taking place at the present time?
They really need to stop the pantomime acts and do the right thing for the people. It's embarrassing watching them behaved like they are in a school playground. It's shameful when they'd more pressing issues to deal with than this pantomime.
Mister Starmer wins it on points!
Both a pair of twats , what chance we got
why does this seem like a posh rap battle
Now I know why they call it question time...not answer time.!😊
Sunak to be fair to him had 1 good come back againt the new face of labor. That one i 👏🏼 but the rest he just reads his ready made comments that as nothing to do with the question.
He's a less than useless joke.
33:20
Labour mp- rightly says we shouldn't be supporting what Israel is doing.
Sunak- sarcastically says, That's the face of the changed Labour Party. I.e. He's suggesting the Labour mps comment was antisemitic.
What the actual F?!!
Just one question. Why do we put up this? 😂😂
I love a good Punch and Judy show, but seriously the country needs effective administrators with some level of competence.
What a bunch of knobs!!
Ah the weekly pantomime show where gangsters masquerading as politicians pretend to argue with each other.10 minutes after this punch & Judy show they’re in the bar upstairs,which WE subsidise,all patting each other on the back & throwing their keys in the bowl.
My advice would be to switch off and ignore like when someone farts in a lift you’re in
🤔. Yet you're still here 🤔?
@@sarabevan3468 I don’t watch…I comment to wind melons 🍈 like you up
Im on pip and employment and support allowance I will feel alot safer under starmer for sure
What a total waste of money these idiots are. Our way of doing politics needs to be changed completely
Come on kier you can do it
Chicha is a joke to Britain politics. After the joke boris the joke. Another one
When is the next general election?
Good wishes for the king and the princess they get to have their operations
Sunak’s family profiting from a business that has appointed Israeli military intelligence veterans to senior positions.
If his relatives were making money from businesses managed in part by former Russian or Chinese spies, then there might be more of an outcry.
Sunak did face criticism over his in-laws profiting from Infosys when the firm was still operating in Russia, at a time when the PM was urging British business to boycott Moscow over its invasion of Ukraine.
But because Israel is an ally of the UK, despite illegally occupying parts of Palestine and Syria, the connections are unlikely to cause him political problems in Westminster.
Sunak was asked to comment.
But he didn’t respond
Unelected man
He has to go to save the party and pretti Patel defends rishi really look in the mirror
It’s like a privileged children’s playground just listen to the top management this country has.
SNP are really Hamas lovers😂
Maybe they don't like Israelis
Advice for Rishi Sunak, that question time, when a Muslim lady asked the question of 25000 dead Palestine, the answer was too brief and pathetic, everyone is aware of Hamas but this was a cheap reply with the usual sheep yeh yeh, I am sure many picked up on this dismissive attitude. Politicians are waiting for slip ups which escalate to a downfall. If you want to stay on top then show the humanity aspects.
I have my poor mother with Alzheimer’s disease this government says they would help millions people with Alzheimer’s disease and other people in this country I have to go out to work to help pay for my mother’s healthcare costs as if I was to go down to part time work to get Career’s Allowance they would take money off me and my mother’s pension so how they accept my mother and me to live on about £400 a month and pay for the Careers to come in and pay the other bills I Know the next government will have a hard job sorting out the mess this government leaving them I know taxes will have to raise to help to pay for services and thanks to this government due to me working full time instead of paying just 20% tax I will be going up to 40% tax and the taxes are going down just for the rich people
Ratner the jewellery geezer once said:"we sell crap" in The News of the World. That was the end of Ratners. "You have blood on your hands" Is this the end of Labour in an election year?
This needs to stop. It's about time we had honesty and some form of professionalism rather than this childish back n forth argument. Build a new parliament on the northern side of Birmingham, make it a plain building with a simple canteen and we would see a different type of politician.
RISHI I’m being black balled by your police and broken NHS
The PM vs LoO Punch and Judy Show should be scrapped and go straight to the more sensible and informative questions.
Thku guuuyyys I am convinced now what I do is the most important work on the planet and could also work❤❤🎉🎉
"Thats the face of the changed Labour Party" Oh dear, and Labour had that particular PMQs in the bag till then...
Mr Speaker , I only got this job because my predecessor was so utterly useless . She only got her job because her predecessor was so utterly useless .
Country on its knees ! This is just a show from Billy Smarts circus ! I would want MPs to run the country for the people
Past 100 years English rule india bur now Indian rule England 😂😂😂😂 ,how come ?
Ihate to see his own mps sucking up to the pm?
They are both not perfact run the our country. 😮
Tory make best for the people to secure high quality of life. And we know those people
Lol. That makes no sense.
Hello hi sir and madam all the best and Good luck sir jai Jai United Kingdom 🇬🇧 ❤🙏
It’s all just performative nonsense. The illusion of choice where there is no real choice.
Farce and lies again. Our parliament used to be one of the most respected and admired in the world.
Just when you thought it was safe to dip your toe back in the water, Labours past bites you on the arse.

It’s the booze and drugs

Glad to see that Jeremy Corbyn continues to live rent free in Tory minds
What a clown. Some of his logics are laughable and absurd.😂
What is all that background noise? It's most annoying 😡
Starmer is another Jeremy corbyn, in disguise ...🤔
