Leaving aside the squeaky indignations of our inadequate prime minister, and the frankly boring questions by the opposition leader. what exactly is the purpose of this braying, deluded clown show? We don’t get anything of use, we don’t get anything except question avoidance and grandstanding followed by someone shouting ‘more’ so that others nearby will also make the same noise. As if shouting a noise makes the point rather than the brain of the person supposed to be in charge.

I can switch it off but I also don’t understand what the actual use of this excercise is.

    I’m sure it was entertaining, and maybe even had the benefit of increasing public engagement when times were a bit more normal.

    But the “drunken lads at a sports event” vibe is somewhere between embarrassing and infuriating throughout the last few years of covid, cost of living crisis, strikes, and assorted other hardships. Is this a goddamn joke to them? Because for the rest of us it’s anything but fun.

      I think it is. It’s a PR spin exercise to them.
