In many ways, he is just as slippery as Johnson when it comes to telling the truth, but he does it in a more glib way, as opposed to Johnson's bluster.

Not sure why I watched all that, but I’d be embarrassed if a work placement student came out with that sort of bull. He’s not over his brief and, where he is, it’d be more damaging to admit he knows what’s going on than feign ignorance. Remind me how we’ve ended up with someone so useless. (No don’t, rhetorical question!).
(I hope you were talking about Sunak and not Bryan lol)

I think he does know what's going on but pretends he doesn't in order to avoid answering difficult questions.
It's not big, and it's not clever.

I understand that Mhairi Black is to step down at the next election due to the toxic atmosphere at Westminster.
It is about time there was a complete overhaul of our political system and proper standards and accountability brought in. The levels of corruption are disgusting.
Sunak does himself no favours by smirking throughout his answering, much as did Johnson.
I can understand where Black MP is coming from. Parliament is archaic and has not only the appearance of a public school, but much of its behaviour. There is no sanction for absenteeism, whereby odious types such as Dorries and Hancock can take three weeks off to earn fat fees on game shows. Or the totally dishonest bloater simply skiving off for weeks at a time, not the once as with the former, but to the point where his appearance at parliament is the unusual thing.
He set the pattern whereby lying and not even attempting to answer questions was thought (by him and others) as acceptable. Utter contempt for Parliament, but more so for the electorate.
I suspect Dorries will now try to string out her resignation so as to still be an MP through the long summer break - whereby she will still be getting paid
The rules that exist need stronger sanctions for rule breakers. That will only come about when this ragbag of frauds, liars and incompetents and thrown out. When the belief that being an MP can be regarded as your second, third or even fourth job is ended.
It is not always widely known how much access MPs have to confidential information. One where any firm getting prior knowledge of a change to regulation etc can give a company a commercial advantage over their 'rivals'.
Remove the opportunity for an MP to work as a consultant, and that 'nice little earner' is instantly reduced. And without it, you would get a more honest MP. Not in every case, but a huge step in the right direction
Move the Commons towards being a place with MPs who want to help others, not help themselves.

That was like watching him responding to an interview from BBC Breakfast, not answering very serious accusations from his Peers.
The Trump politics of lies, where the more often you tell a lie, the truer it becomes, is well and truly upon us.

The outdated nature of the building doesn't in my view help when it comes to the atmosphere.
A modern and expansive building, like the Scottish or European Parliament, would hopefully bring about a sea change, and might avoid the hundreds of millions it will cost to repair the Parliament buildings, which could instead be turned into a tourist attraction.

Yep, he’s oily, odious and arrogant. Rather ironic given he’s such a little man in the true sense of the word. Weak, indecisive with no morals whatsoever. Talking about standards in public life with an earnest smile is not the same as living by them and enforcing them. It’s just wind.
It was implied by some when he replaced the ludicrous farce that was Truss that he was a safe pair of hands. Competent. No he’s not. He was a useless man replacing a joke of a PM and a criminal one. He was Chancellor presiding over the economic shambles that’s engulfed this country and only got the job because he was too weak to stand up to anybody.

He's a sham of a prime minister who has an incredible knack of talking down to everyone who crosses his path. As bad as Johnson in his bluster, evasion and disingenuousness. Get them out.
"Dawn Butler (Lab) raises a point of order. She says at a previous PMQs Oliver Dowden said that Labour’s plan to spend £28bn a year on green energy plans would put an extra £1,000 on mortgages. That figure came from a Daily Mail article, that attributed it to the Treasury. But when the UK Statistics Authority looked into this, it found that this was not based on any proper Treasury analysis. She says this has been confirmed by LBC. She asks if Dowden will correct the record.
Sir Linday Hoyle, the speaker, says that ministers will have heard the point, and that he is sure Dowden will want to correct any mistake as quickly as possible."
'he is sure Dowden will want ...... '
In a nutshell. No power to enforce a correction, or if there is the spineless Uriah Heap of a Speaker dare not use that power.
As long as ministers can lie, aided and abetted by certain parts of the media, this contempt of our democracy will continue
Tory MPs not bothering to attend parliament, but are able to host propaganda on kGB news
Dowden cannot claim it was spoken in innocence of the truth either. Quoting from the Mail should have been a clue, but not checking first demonstrates an attitude of wanting to 'win' the argument at that moment.
Something the inflated egotist Johnson was renowned for. Lie after lie tripped from his mouth as he sought to be popular.
