HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 окт 2024
- Conservative leader Rishi Sunak helped ease Sir Keir Starmer into his first Prime Minister's Questions, holding back from outright attacks as he focused his questions on Ukraine.
The former prime minister made a joke at his own expense about not winning before launching into Sir Keir's position on supporting Ukraine in a series of awkward exchanges showing the two men being overly polite to one another.

What's awkward about this? For once it's a sensible exchange without the childish insults from both sides. The only awkward thing is the video title from Sky News, is embarrassing.
👏🏾👏🏾👍🏾
Designed for contrarian comments.
👏
Couldn’t agree more.
he supposed be leader of opposition so oppose
All of a sudden Rishi looks like a new person all together.
He doesn't have to take responsibility for the mess people left him
Rishi was done wrong by all the mess he inherited. The only thing I blame him is for having called the election way too soon, just now that we are starting to see the economy recovering and Bank of England beginning to cut interest rates. He shoot himself in the foot to be honest.
He’s always been like that….shame hes too rich to be on the left…. Would have been a great leader for labour….
@Digifan0007 I'm not British but man that would be baller to see...
Hats off
He lost, and deserved to lose
But he did it with style and dignity
To be fair, he had no chance of winning after what Boris and Truss did.
@@KingAgniKai I hoped that Labour would win and that Sir Kier will be a good Prime Minister, but Rishi Sunak cannot be blamed for the defeat. He was captain of a sinking ship, and accepted the result with dignity, as should be the case in every nation claiming to be a democracy.
he approved every single penny of covid PPR FRAUD, every. single. penny.
@@Horichdaslicht1858 look at America...
Thank God we don't have those horrid leaders, they are so rude and mean to each other
@@KingAgniKainot to forget he was a person of colour leading a right wing party….
Nothing seems awkward? Seems like a functioning parliament... Meanwhile in America...
This is one of the most casual interactions these two have had. When Rishi was prime minister these two were barking at one another constantly.
👏🏾👏🏾
Cuz he wasted his entire time to ask questions! This entire segment was basically Sunak saying "Look at this great thing I did! Look how good it is that Starmer is continuing it! I hope he keeps doing that!". Rather he should grill the PM on actual issues.
The Tories are The Feds and The Feds tell Starmer what to do@@IndianGeek5589
Sunak is apparently happier as a MP rather than as a PM.
Sunak as MP is his level as PM not for never was for Sunak.
@@lindacurrie8817 how so ?
It's refreshing to see politicians behaving something other than a MW2 Lobby from 2009.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Bloody hell. Can’t stand either of them but what a refreshing change of pace to see a peaceful and polite exchange
nice to see a PMQ where both sides have respect for eachother
Don't fall for it. They are doing us up like kippers!
I dont find it awkward at all. It's refreshing. I think being leader of the opposition suits Sunak better than being the prime minister ever did.
We need more PMQs like this - the British Public need to see a strong parliament where cross party consensus on basic common sense topics that they should be aligned on is logical without the childish politcking
👏🏾👏🏾👍🏾
Kinda wholesome to see them working together.
Yes, it is like seeing parents getting along
They was working together on all FP hence why they talked about Ukrainian war lol stop being silly this is a fase
@@Jack-n9i3oI agree. Starmer has no confidence in the way Great Britain ought to be run!
Sunak showing how a leader of opposition should be!!!!!
What a breath of fresh air!
Rishi did a fantastic job of stepping down gracefully and peaceful transfer of power. He will be back after the reset of undoing his predecessors and start a clean sheet when he is back as PM - he sounds like one here.
This is what PMQs should always be like: Civil, respectable, and productive. We don't need the theatrics and the vindictiveness which has become standard in our UK politics. We aren't America. PMQ's is not about embarrassing and humiliating the other side, it is about holding the leadership to account, uncovering their plans, and provoking actions on matters which matter to us. It might not be "exciting" or "theatrical", but it's just grown up. More of this.
"Holds back" translates to "being nice and cooperative"
Can the Tories just not bother with their leadership election? Rishi’s a breath of fresh air as leader of the opposition. Shudder to think what the likes of Badenoch or Patel would be like.
poor Rishi - he became the whipping boy for the conversatives and he's clearly got no fight in him left....he wants out as soon as...
That's how a leader of the opposition should behave. Raise real issues and challenge the ruling government and ensure country comes first. There is no hold back in it and i am sure he will set an example of being an opposition leader.
Isnt it nice when people get along? Much more focus on important matters and not insulting each other.
Sunak is just being decent. That is important to our parliament
Rishi, being so nice, Starmer when in opposition was anything but,…… may be a long game being played here.
Spot on. Sunak is calm and respects someone but Starmer was a tool on PMQS before as opposition and he is still opposition for we didn't vote for him.
@@Trendycosmetics-os6ghdemocracy voted for him hence he is in power. Cry about it
cope
@@Trendycosmetics-os6gh Starmer is #notmyprimeminister. Then again, I'm American. Y'all are lucky to have a leader who's so young
@@alexray230so obviously hes not your prime minister if youre american?…
Sunak sounds more like the PM than starmer
What a pleasant and refreshing discussion. I hope this is the new energy with British politics but I doubt it'll last long
Starmer should learn from Sunak how to grill someone as a leader for here Sunak demonstrated to Starmer how it is done. Starmer used to be a joke at PMQS grilling Sunak but here Sunak was just calm but being frank on what he disagrees with under Starmer. Starmer was just empty and evasive as usual. Starmer is unfit to rule. We don't have a British PM
He's still finding his feet; he's never been PM, so of course he's going to come off as weak and wobbly. He deserves a chance. And I'm talking months, not weeks.
People are shocked at how well they are getting on in there, but they fail to realise Modern Labour is just one side on the same coin the Tories are on. Of course theyre getting along together! Theyre the same. And no wonder rishi seems better now, the world isnt breathing down his neck.
Exactly.
Never thought I’d live to see the day where politics became sensible and boring again. Wonderful!
Best PMQs for a long time!
I am a tory but why should we lose our money for third countrys
Cry harder
Since they both essentially represent the true leader of the country, Klaus Schwab, it's hardly surprising
proof?
He probably starts his day playing the Beatles "Just give me money, that's what I want".
Help our country before thinking about other countries,absolutely disgraceful
They just keep thanking and welcoming each other. No substance in their dialogue.
Utter nonsence. Starmer is always polite and holds great morals. He is well capable as PM abd does not require easing in. Starmer is extremely confident as PM as that is what he was wanting and boy he got it.
What's awkward is Sky News' journalism.
Snack is now humble, he keeps his jacket on and no gesticulating, the tone change. its funny that some weeks back Snack was breakfasting in london and oyster lunching in DC now he is back on butter on toast and some beans in our canteen😂
Sunak is the worst PM i have ever seen he cant even argue anything when he is in opposition
Holds back? I think he's joined labour!😂
Man, as an American this is mind blowing to see that oppositions can dish out compliments like insults to each other... is this politics???
Keir starmer we need help here in Africa
Africa is nothing to do with the UK. Go away.
Not our problem
What I would like to know is what has happened to the money promised to the people effected by the war in Ukraine that was taken from the sale of Chelsea Football Club ?
did anyone expect any different under starmer, more of the same is a understatement
Everyone else seems quite positive about the grown up approach.
Petty party politics is the problem.
@@earnestequivocation6250 they only talk about things they agree on more war and s---ing the working class
That's how democracy should work. Such a constructive discussion.
This kind of grown up pmqs is refreshing.
About time this went to an actual conversation rather than def jam comedy.
RISHI SUNAK was one of the best people to lead this country im white british as was honoured to have a man like him lead this country
What a breath of fresh air! Professional adults working and taking people in this country seriously. May they continue in this civilised respectful way 🍀 What brought this about? Change of government, situation in America or is it simply that they are warming up for a new fight? I must say its boring to watch 😂 - no more free circus entertainment 🎪 🤡 - but may it last!!! 🍀
Nothing on the main problem STOP THE BOATS !!!!
The warmonger just change the seat!😂
Both are warmongers
@@idkwhattonamemyaccount4161 womp womp
Nothing awkward, if anything it shows government and parliament working how it aught to... Might be the first time ive ever been interested and or impressed watching our politicians
Don't worry, in the upcoming weeks, everything will heat up, this always happens at the start.
Not at all.
This is a return to mature politics after 9 years of chaos. We should applaud the maturity and lack of bravado
what an odd title
America take notes, this is how bipartisanship should work.
I hope the labour government will help us here in Africa
Help with what? What are our leaders doing with the taxes we’re paying and how are we holding them accountable?
@@JoelSam this exactly ...
This is what grown up politics look like Proud of British Parliament once again !!
Media is clearly the issue “awkward exchange” nothing awkward at all Sky 🙄
Waste of time and money of people. Why dont they just do a group chat. It can be faster and less expensive.
Hmmm lets just think, whos elected round here? Whos not. HAAAA😂
british national security starts at the english chanel, government have allowed in 1 million fighting age men into your communities
no its odessa not dover
The uk should send us some money here in Africa
we don't have the money for our own services or development, no chance.
They can't even look after their own 😂 all we see is other countries scrounging. It's our money, that we earn for our own people. Tell me what would Africa give in return?
Absolutely NOT
get in a rubber boat
@@arod9998 don't be greedy
Do we have troops in Ukraine and is the a lie..
The Russian military launched a missile attack on Odessa, which killed British and French servicemen.
This statement was made by Colonel of the Spanish Army in the reserve Pedro Bagnos.
Rishi couldn't handle making the hard choices, so he quit and gave starmer the job. The current british government maybe in charge but in reality the british people are but they choose not to be... what is the future of the united kingdom, more corruption and self serving elites. The native population of the united kingdom are just commodities, soon there be no england and its nationality a thing of history. Once it was a great empire. Built on hard working moral people who only wanted to make the world a better place. But all the qualities of these people have been dimished. What is left of great Britain? What do they even fight for anymore?... every town and job is being taken over by foreign peoples. It gone the past the piont of no return. This country has no nationality anymore.
Cheaters and Liars Deceivers Manipulators (LDM)s can never win. Labour is the authentic way forward. #GoLabour #GoStarmer
He's been humbled
Sunak and his family have made billions from government contracts.wasted hundreds of billions of pounds yet can walk away.If we owe a tenner on council tax u can end up in court.something wrong somewhere
It’s really bugging me that he keeps saying “leader of the opposition” no one from torris ever said that! I watch PMQs every time it’s one for over half a decade…. To me it shows a childish PM who needs to show everyone thag he is PM! As a very wise man said! “He who says I am the king is no true kind”
Yes, not awkward at all. I was stunned by how decorous the parliament has become, on both sides of the aisle. Amazing stuff.
Time for a change tories.labour out.😊
Cannot believe what im seeing .one party.labor/conservative.no difference
It looks like they made up. How lovely.
That was a pleasant change, well done both sides
Mail
Wish they’d send money to us like they do Ukraine. With zero accountability
They r in it together.best mates both are traitors to this country.both make me sick
Hes talking about ukraine ? What about uk issues talking garbage as already shame he hasnt the guts of putin
Keir has insincere robotic voice..just says what we want to hear
We need a vote on this much spending of our money on wars we are not fighting ourselves
The spending is a large part of why we arent fighting ourselves

He lost big time, theTories have 5 years to think about it too, he has his wives millions to fall back on anyway, he can be as nice as he likes, losers always are
Kissing each other backsides.both not fit to rule this country
Starmer won't last 2 months

Both servants of Israel!
Not true both the two main parties support the two State solution, the release of hostages and the end of the conflict.
@@williamwyllie7072 yes support the two state solution to the point of not suspending arms sales and being complicit in the building of settlements. Get out of here with that nonsense.
both pro war and anti working class, just swapped over the side of the house
Did the gaza party win?
@@maneshipocrates2264 no same as the last 70 years the pro war party won
