I do hate it when our politicians (of all colours) refuse to answer questions, and, instead, start blaming the opposition for all their ills.
Starmer was famous for it, and I'm sorry to say that his replacement, The Mayor of England, is doing exactly the same.
At this week's PMQ's, Kemi asked him a very simple question (twice); "Why is it OK to drill for oil in The Falkland Islands (The Sea Lion oil field), but not nearer to home in the North Sea?" An easy question that is not beyond his capabilities to answer, yet as usual he simply turned the question around and started blaming The Tories.
Even in the days when I participated in my school's Debating Society, no-one would have been allowed to get away with such evasion.
Both Mrs T and Boris would have wiped the bloody floor with him, and rightfully so.... Kemi just despaired, and laughed at him as usual; and continued with her next question (also unanswered)!
We all understand that the most important task for any PM is to keep his/her job, but just occasionally it is clear to everyone that there are better ways of doing so. With so many people watching PMQ's every week, maybe his best shot would be to answer questions clearly and truthfully.
What does he have to hide?

What he has to hide is incompetence. We have been blessed with some awful prime ministers but this one will be up there with the worst of them. He gets an easy ride as the opposition is little better.
