Raab is tried and found wanting by a masterful Starmer

Finally. Finally we have a fully functioning opposition: one united behind a leader in whom they – almost – all believe. Keir Starmer might not have imagined a near-empty and silent chamber for his first outing at prime minister’s questions, but in a way it played to his strengths. For 45 minutes the usual Commons bear pit was transformed into a quiet courtroom drama, with a top QC up against the government’s junior barrister. A no contest, master versus pupil.

Teacher and student.

I saw it totally different as did millions of others 🙄

The Guardian is totally irrelevant unless you’re a foaming mouthed lefty loon, with dwindling sales and columnists like Owen Jones and Polly Toynbee it’s only going to get worse......

Barristers often defend the indefensible. Just what Labour need.

Once again well balanced journalism

He’s ALL bereft Labour have got. When’s the report coming out? How about an investigation into the Labour Party and Rochdale, any whistleblowers contact the Guardian be warned though they won’t be interested.

Strange evaluation using tinted spectacles, considering the way Raab trash him. Typical . fakeness

The neoliberal sycophancy runs deep in this.

Don’t you understand that if there’s one person the public hate more than a politician it’s a Lawyer. And don’t ge so disrespectful it’s Sir Kier

What a load of drivel. And you wonder why your newspaper is dying. You might have got away with this in years gone by, but we all watch 24 hour news now. Change your narrative or go out of business.

He's very good snake oil salesman...

This confirms that the Guardian is in fact a lunatic asylum

Masterful ? He basically said that he wouldn’t have followed scientific advice. Mind you, compared to Steptoe, anything would seem masterful.

'He doesn’t just read his six prepared questions, he listens to the answers and adapts his follow-ups accordingly. Neither does he raise his voice or get rattled: rather he adapts his tone to the occasion.' So you're admitting his predecessor was naff then?

Raab destroyed by a rampant Starmer, next the hated far right Johnson will be destroyed .He's surely finished now.

In your dreams. He betrayed the result of the Ref.that is unforgettable & unforgivable.

Starmer was extremely impressive yesterday. This bodes really well. A serious, effective leader for these difficult itimes.

Yeah if you say so.

Were you even watching the same PMQT?

😂😂😂😂😂😂

John Crace gives a good and fair account of Keir Starmer’s first PMQs, but old habits obviously die hard, and he can’t resist taking not just one but two swipes at Jeremy Corbyn - one for being in the Commons while over 70. Not your finest moment, Mr Crace.

ZoeParamour It was a decent performance but tbf going up against Raab is like shooting fish in a barrel. I'd have been worried if it wasn't anything but decent.

keirisma really? FFS

Conservs has met their match

😂😂😂

😂😂 what are you on?

They make articles now without even watching what happened

I slipped on cat piss when I walked into the kitchen this morning. My wife said my stumble and consequent landing on my arse was masterful.

Oh just furlough everyone please. Painful.

He wished the Queen happy birthday recently, and half of Labour exploded. Get back to me when Starmer is in control of his own party

What the fuck were you watching? Obviously not the same as the rest of us🙄

Yeah right

Barrister vs. Barista....

Dominic Raab “If the leader of the opposition thinks he knows better than our scientists then that’s his decision but that’s not how we roll”

Forensic

You have cracked Crace... what are you on?

Lol at least be sly about it..

Ah the Guardian, the gift that keeps on giving... you're giving your minds a hard-on 🤪

Does anyone actually buy you’re paper? Who would pay to read this shite

You not closed down yet? Please hurry up and do so

These parody accounts are brilliant 🤣🤣

Delusional

You wish 🤬

Ah! The Guardian! Jones and Yasmin write for this trash!

It's very easy for the opposition to criticise government. They are doing fuck all, other than fueling the media with negativity. If labour were in power do they really think they'd be doing a better job? Dream on. This is damaging and inaccurate reporting with zero integrity.

Raab is far from an intellectual heavy weight, this was no masterclass. Starmer has been almost pathetically light weight in his response to the government. Preferring to sit back rather than take them on. Guardian just wants to get behind a social democrat leader.

😂😂😂 Masterful? MASTERFUL?!!! 😂😂😂

More fucking lies! PissPoorJournalism gutterpress

Raab one of the cuntzzzz

Should have gone to specsavers

As much as I’m relieved there’s decent opposition now, ‘Masterful Starmer’ Perlease... 🤮 shamelesssycophants

If you actually saw the QTs you will know this is nonsense

Dream On. Nothing like pandering to the great xxxxxxx.

The king is dead. Long live the king.

I must have watched the speakers in an alternate dimension 🤔🤔😂😂

Get a room.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Masterful Starker, you are joking?

Better start looking in job vacancies section cos no ones believing what you're writing

a SIR being masterful....ha ha ha ha,time for him to master the art of the truth...saville,muslim grooming gangs,warboys,brexit strategy....same old labour...nothing to offer

wtf

Wasted no time before publicly wanking yourselves daft over Starmer then... 🤣

Thanks for reminding us of why we'll be glad to see you go bust.

What a load of complete b*******

That's bullshit, but you know that.

Government still aint going to bail out rags like The 'give us a quid'Guardian'. Not fit to wrap your chips in or wipe your arse on (even when there is a loo paper shortage)...

This was written by someone who obviously didn't watch it!

Bollox

This could only be from the Guardian

Masterful... You’re taking the piss now

Are you on drugs?

Meanwhile on a galaxy far, far away

He knows he won’t get a vote. Or a majority all Sir Kier Starmer can do now is join SkyNews BBCNews BethRigby bbclaurak for Gotcha Oscars. Though BorisJohnson will be back.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂what was you watching

😂😂😂😂 Don’t think so love

I see the mental left are enjoying lockdown ...RobSkilbeck Jez would have turned up with... oh no hang on ..he wouldn’t.

He'll mince that whole bench.

I think the comments (and general common sense) tell you you’ve either not seen it or you might be a little biased JohnJCrace

You live in fantasy land pal; keep deluding yourself

Raab tried & wanting by just about everybody.

Oh Dear 💤💤😉

If you've only eaten lemons for years, then the first orange you try would probably taste 'masterful' too.

Keir Starmer is The Man ..whilst Raab is an apprentice.

The nonce puppet starmer

Haha, in which parallel universe was that?

Starmer I guess can give a perfect ProDeal Brexit to 'Sickman of North Europe' (UK). Shame on Theresa May.

That made me feel queasy. He's not going to save your failing paper.

Starmer was assured and a massive improvement on JC but ‘masterful’. Seriously?

The Corbyn fans don't like it do they?

You are seeing what you want to see.... Not what's actually infront of your eyes!

That was fun.

is this the gutter journalism level you have sunk to Guardian ?

....'masterful' 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

You do write some crap!

No wonder you are going bust.

Those twitchy cultists don’t like this. They want the ideological purist back so they can all carry on their hobby.

Guardian opinion only which is worthless!

Masterful? What did he ask that others have not asked for weeks.

Raab peaked Starmer’s appetite for blood without even bedding it down...just wait until that Johnson is fully operational...

🤣🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 you’re kidding right? Were you watching something different to the rest of us?

Guardian? Come on you seriously can’t be that deluded.

'masterful' I think I'm going to puke. He's been Labour leader for weeks and has been woeful. Piers Morgan has been more effective.

Et tu Bruté?

khadynalTimes

The Guardian like the new Labour leader

What sycophantic drivel.

You wish

Masterful? Keep your fantasies to yourself.

He's just no match for anyone with half a brain

Masterful?🤣🤣

lol.....

Lickspittle Guardian, right on cue.

KeirStarmer is masterful at taking backhanders from Israel. Enough said. And you lot complain about Russia? Lol.
