Richard Brunton<p>I was once again shocked and depressed at seeing <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/PMQ" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PMQ</span></a> and all MPs behaviour. Belittling and verbally attacking a clearly upset person. Bickering like children. Fighting contrarily and forgetting past decisions and policies. Calling for party and leader before country, constituencies, and people.</p>
Totts<p>At today's <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/PMQ" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PMQ</span></a>'s Chris Philp reads straight from the <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Reform" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Reform</span></a> playback</p><p>"Why is this government prioritising housing for illegal immigrants rather than housing for young people?"</p><p>Well, Reuters and Full Fact doesn't seem to think Chris is right, but the Daily Mail believe him.

Totts<p>Claire Hanna the SDLP leader comments at today's <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/PMQ" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PMQ</span></a>'s about "<a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Gaza" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Gaza</span></a> being a stain on the soul of humanity and there is more moral clarity coming from Ms Rachel on You Tube then there is from many world leaders who are complicit in silence. So, I ask the PM after 10s of thousands of deaths, when will he he hold the Israeli state to account, and when will he recognise the state of <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Palestine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Palestine</span></a>?"</p><p>"We will keep looking at further action," he replies</p>

Shaun Seymour<p>Having just watched <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/PMQ" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PMQ</span></a> from today, it was odd , to say the least.
