Sunak knew he would be grilled over the school concrete crisis but failed to come up with anything plausible to say at PMQs

t was never going to be pretty. Even if school buildings hadn’t been found to be collapsing all around us, the first prime minister’s questions of the new session was always likely to be brutal for. The government’s attempts to seize control of the news agenda over the summer had backfired badly. Small boats week, NHS week and crime week had all left ministers trying to explain why nothing was going as planned. It was as if the idiots had taken over the asylum. Which of course, they have.

So there were a few forced cheers from his own benches as Sunak entered the Commons. Nickie Aiken even waved her order paper. A few MPs near her eyed her up suspiciously. Whatever she was on, they wanted some. Tories have to take their pleasures where they find them these days.was shunted down to the far end of the frontbench. Just in case she managed to cross-contaminate the prime minister with Raac. No 10’s golden rule is that nothing is ever Sunak’s fault.

Starmer kept it fairly simple throughout. Each question prefaced with the example of a school that had been falling apart for years and which the government had done nothing about. The prime minister had been the man who had cut the school funding budget two years ago. Did he, like Keegan, think he should be thanked?

“You’re Captain Hindsight,” said RishGPT. So cutting! Devastating! Imagine recycling one of Boris Johnson’s feeble gags. Besides which, the country is in the mood to reflect. A lot of people are wondering whether they did the right thing to trust the Tories. What’s more, Sunak added, Labour were just guilty of political opportunism. By asking the questions to which everyone wanted an answer. Rish! couldn’t have sounded more out of touch.
