Rejected petition Ensure the Prime Minister answers questions at PMQ’s directly without deviation.

Ensure the Prime Minister answers questions set to them at PMQ’s directly and without deviation to the subject matter.

More details

The present PMQ’s are a farce and Sir Keir Starmer is making a mockery of the system .
He never answers questions directly and uses PMQ’s as a soapbox for attacking previous governments , Nigel Farage and the Reform Party. His replies to direct specific questions are generally irrelevant or off on an entirely different tangent.
It is time that prime ministers are held accountable and if the speaker cannot control the house then perhaps it’s time for a new speaker.
