Another deplorable PMQs where Starmer evades answers and Hoyle lies for him
This two men shows utter destain for British institutions and people. PMQs are for the representatives of the people to ask questions on their behalf, but yet again Starmer just doesn't answer.
Prime Minister’s Questions this week was yet another shameful display of evasion, theatre and outright contempt for the electorate. What should be a vital weekly check on government became a farce, with Starmer dodging every serious question asked by MPs on behalf of their constituents. It got so bad this week that Reform UK MPs walked out in protest and the Speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle refusing to hold Starmer to account. This is not how a mature democracy functions.
Chaotic scenes as Farage walks out in frustration
The session descended into chaos when Farage rose to ask a direct question on behalf of his constituents about the government’s “Smash the Gangs” policy and the ongoing small boats crisis. Starmer failed to provide a straight answer. Instead of addressing the 70,000 migrant arrivals, with 1000 in the last week along, the lack of any credible Plan B or the national security risks involved, he pivoted to unrelated attacks and pre-prepared jibes.
Starmer refused to answer every single question put to him during the session, repeatedly dodging scrutiny on key failures including small boat crossings and gang-smashing measures. Every question was treated them with open contempt by waffling on about unrelated topics such as council tax or past opposition statements.
To be honest i can’t blame Nigel for walking out.
Lindsay Hoyle lied
The most damning aspect is the blatant double standard displayed by the Speaker. Sir Lindsay Hoyle claimed today that he lacks the power to make a Prime Minister answer questions. That claim is demonstrably false. Multiple recorded instances from previous sessions show Hoyle actively forcing Boris Johnson, then Prime Minister, to address the House directly. On several occasions Hoyle interrupted Johnson mid-reply, ordered him to sit down and explicitly reminded him that it was “Prime Minister’s Questions” and that he must answer the question asked. Did he do this in the most shocking examples ever seen at PMQs? No.
This selective enforcement is not neutral. It protects the current Labour government while the British people pay the price through unchecked mass migration, failing public services and a Parliament that no longer feels answerable to those it claims to represent. When MPs walk out it is not mere theatre, sure there is some of that in there, but its a response to a system that has abandoned its core purpose of holding power to account.
Restore Britain Points the Way to Real Accountability
Keir Starmer’s performance today, shielded by a compliant Speaker, is the latest proof that the Westminster establishment has no intention of fixing itself. Rupert Lowe has repeatedly called out this government’s failures in uncompromising terms, describing Starmer as a disgrace and the worst Prime Minister in memory. His frustration mirrors that of millions who see their country slipping away while politicians play games.
Restore Britain’s entire approach offers the resolution this country desperately needs. By putting British people first in every policy area, from immigration and energy security to restoring trust in our institutions, the party demands genuine accountability rather than performative outrage. Where the current system allows evasion and selective rule enforcement, Restore Britain will insist on transparency and consequences. Only by rejecting the failed consensus and backing a movement committed to real reform can we ensure Prime Ministers are forced to answer, Speakers uphold rules consistently and Parliament once again serves the British public rather than itself.
The walkout today was a warning. Restore Britain is the answer.
