**”I see Reform MPs have walked out!”**
Nigel Farage and Reform MPs stormed out of prime minister’s questions in a strop after Keir Starmer slammed the party for ‘abandoning voters.’
During Wednesday’s session of PMQs, Farage stood up to put it to the prime minister that his promise to ‘smash the gangs’ has been a “total abject failure.”
In response, Starmer pointed out that Farage and his party had voted against government plans to give law enforcement counter-terrorism powers.
The PM said this was just the latest example of Reform exploiting issues for their own gain, saying Farage ‘wants the grievance, he doesn’t want it sorted.’
And then Nigel Farage walks out of PMQs with his Reform MPs. Last to leave green benches is Robert Jenrick, who dismisses the chamber with a wave of his hand.
Farage asks Starmer about small boats at #PMQs – he responds by reading out a list of council tax hikes in Reform areas
After calling out Farage for his Iran war U-turn, Starmer then brought up the issue of Worcestershire county council.
Reform gained control of the council at last year’s local elections, but Farage has since labelled the council a ‘basket case’ and said he wished his party ‘hadn’t bothered’ trying to win it.
Starmer continued: “He asks for people’s votes and then he abandons them. Reform don’t want to solve problems, they only want to exploit them.
“I am thankful for the opportunity to change this country for the better, he says he wish he hadn’t bothered winning councils.
“It’s an absolute disgrace.”
Starmer: “He promised lower tax and now Reform councils are hiking council tax by 9%”
Farage and other Reform MPs then walk out the chamber
When Labour MP Marie Tidbell then stood to ask her question, there was commotion in the chamber and the speaker had to call for order.
It turns out, this was because Farage and his gang of MPs had stormed out in a huff, sparking laughter and shouts of ‘bye’ from opposition MPs.
Tidbell’s question was about the recent decision for the government to fund the renovation of the Crucible theatre in Sheffield so that the Snooker World Championships could remain there.
This gave Starmer the perfect set up for a gag, as he commented: “I see Reform have walked out, they obviously realise they’re absolutely snookered!”
Sooo…I just Googled “Reichstag Nazi Party Walkout Tactic”.
Strangely a lot of hits.
While Farage and his chums are utterly embarrassing, Starmer does need to start answering questions properly. This weird thing he does where he ignores the question entirely and instead blurts out something scripted that’s entirely unrelated really doesn’t paint him in a good light.
These grifters can’t handle a morsel of criticism. Nigel should just stick to what he knows best – parroting shit on Cameo without a single critical thought.
Glad to see Reform being shown as the malcontents they actually are for a change.
Good for nothing liars.
Flip Flop Farage doesn’t like the House of Commons because he is not able to be the main character. He likes a podium, from which he can spew his bile without recourse. Offer him a platform anywhere that the audience can respond and ask questions and he avoids it like the plague. Occasionally he is cornered, and when put on the spot he is evasive, rude, or loses his temper, similar to Trump.
If you can’t sit in the commons and hear people you disagree with, you shouldn’t be there.
I get that Farages big schtick was turning up to Europe, embracing PR, taking the fat benefits and then shouting “fuck you”. But the uk parliament is actually how we decide things. So if your attitude is “I can’t get my way so I’m having a tantrum” then honestly: take your EU pension and your NatWest card and fuck off.
Reminds me of the EU Parliaments Fisheries Committee where he turned up to 1 out of 42 sessions whilst complaining UK fishermen get a raw deal.
Bit rich coming from the sorry excuse of a pm, who never answers a question and always deflects to the opposition.
Watched this live and couldn’t help but laugh as the camera didn’t even show him leaving after his tantrum and nobody paid him any attention.
Imagine if Westminster MPs always did this everytime they were called to account and lost an argument.
Conveniently the next item on the agenda was blocking crypto donations.
How can he expect to be prime minster if he can’t take criticism. I mean our Starmer gets up there week after week and gets a right old rodgering. Does he flinch, no. He takes it from Kemi over the despatch box like a true man. Same with Boris. Week after week .. ‘there were no parties’ but he didn’t walk out did he?
It’s always the same permanent outrage playbook with zero accountability to match. Piss off to Clacton for once, adiós!
Can’t take the heat … stay out of the kitchen ,.. very snowflakey just storming out isn’t it?
If you haven’t watched the video, you should.
There are times I despair of our politics and politicians and the system they inhabit, but watching them all laughing and jeering and waving ‘bye’ to farage and his twat collection while the speaker attempts to restore order really restored a little faith in the way we Brits do things.
When Farage gets asked questions he doesn’t like he becomes nasty and condescending. When he gets similar treatment he runs off crying.
He expects to be treated with respect, whilst treating others like crap.
So they protest being called out for abandoning voters by abandoning their seats in parliament.
Does this make sense to anyone ?
If I was doing Labour comms I’d be playing footage of them walking out with the audio from Monty Python and the Holy Grail where they run away screaming from the killer rabbit.
