"It's hard to exaggerate how bad that was" | PMQs Analysed | LBC

It's good, I mean, God knows it's a tough job at the best of times to predict what's going to happen, but I think it's fair to say that your suggestion that she would violently stay away from any mention of her. of housing issues wasn't your finest moment, well I mean I'm halfway through my Humble Pie James and you know you might want to try it sometime, no I'm allergic, I shouldn't even bring it to this study. like having him is like having him on a plane exactly, uh no, but look, I think I somehow made Mist do what a lot of Tory MPs and Tory people in the press are doing right now, which is underestimating Angela.

Raina is right and underestimates the extent to which she is not a normal political figure. I think most political figures in those circumstances would have done exactly what I suggested, which is to try to suppress it and keep it as quiet as possible and end the session as quickly as possible. as unscathed as possible she and her team I think they clearly calculated completely correctly and it was a risk it was a bet it was a bet that Dowden would collapse which it did it did in reality you don't see very often no in fact and it was a strategy, the strategic intention was to gamble and make a bet that if she mentioned it right away, his entire line of attack would fall apart like a pack of cars and in fact, he absolutely knew where to go, you could feel it.

I mean it's actually even by pmq standards and someone who doesn't do it every week was an extreme, she started to fidget like she was really acting and then you could hear it in her voice and from then on she didn't have to where to look except ahead because she just completely sent it into the House of Commons chamber, frankly, and you know, from time to time, a line that, even by pmq standards, there's about 1% of jokes on pmq that are genuinely funny, the rest are just parliamentary. It's funny, everyone says haha, we could see that from 5,000 miles away, but speaking of saying he looked exhausted, maybe it's because bad men are calling him in the middle of the night. 3M, we really laughed out loud, funny, right?

Mark Men's um Scandal, so look, they clearly calculated that in this case a good, the best defense is a good offense, was a risk because a more agile and agile opponent could have been able to reverse it and come back and have anticipated it. and he had a stronger line and he gave it to her, she would basically give them the wound they could open, but Dowen proved to be completely incapable of doing it and that's what I mean when you say shake that the idea of ​​him somehow ending up to suggest that the British people don't care about housing policy or don't care about eviction or don't care about the right to own your own home in the context of leol, means I sounded like someone who was desperately going through pieces. of paper looking for something I can say to make you think they would have spent their Kebab preparation being Angela laughing or roasting over the embers of her alleged faults regarding her living arrangements 10 years ago and when she said you're about to tell a joke about rubbish about my living arrangements, she had no choice but to get up and tell a rubbish joke about her living arrangements and from that moment on she was the one who was toast, the way it works is they will work if he says this and you say that and then you do a kind of lever or you pass that to that and so on and by mentioning it instantly it meant that it had nowhere to go and I think what it shows in a way is that, again,

pmqs

is not often revealing or often does not remind us of anything, they just exchange kind of a joke for half an hour, but I think this does remind us politically exactly why so many in something that the right-wing press in the conservative party itself fear Rer as a political figure because he is an unusual and unorthodox political figure and he has a style and a kind of way of doing politics that is unusual, that is effective, that crosses, that crosses and that very few politicians are very particularly conservative.

The MPS have a

hard

time knowing how to deal with this, you know, you saw it on Dow and there they mention the right to buy and so on and then she says, well, yeah, I like that a lot of working class people do it and they say, it's as if it were so. like the computer stopped working, it's what little Boris Johnson used to call it the wheel of Doom, you know, it's like the computer has broken down, so I think the net result of today will be that she will have affirmed her allies and people in the Labor Party why she is so valuable, but she will also have reminded her opponents how important it is for them to continue the fight against her and I think the net result today is that those opponents will double down on their efforts because they will be angry and furious. because they have missed the opportunity to nail it down on some things in the same way that you can tell James that Dow completely lost his peace, not just because of her voice and her adventures, but because in that situation an ideal outcome for Daen would have been to put her in a bind about something, it would have been asking her a question she refused to answer or doing the classic "it's not for me, you know, these aren't questions for the Deputy Prime Minister" kind of thing.

It's not for me all that kind of stuff to get some sort of non-denial denial, he didn't even get that far, that's how you know the whole strategy just completely collapsed. Yeah, I mean, it's

hard

to get over it, it's hard to overdo it. how bad was that for Oliver da um, the only part that maybe I want to say was effective and I suspect the galleries would have loved it, but what did she call a risky pint siiz loser? She's a bit of a dimensionist, she's quite Trump, you know? It's, it's quite, yeah, I mean, it's kind of old, right?

I mean, you know, she's gotten a lot of personal criticism, very personal criticism over the years, the dispatch box you wouldn't have gotten that from, right? No, I don't think so, wasn't it um, wasn't it a naen line? I think the pint side, oh, was it? I think a bell suddenly rings, maybe he read the nen book, um. I have to mention Dell, who's been in touch because I've already seen this and I haven't, and I don't know if you're much younger than me, so I probably don't know if it fits into your pop culture orbit, but it reminded me of the final rap battle. on 8 Mile, huh, right, you've lost me now, I've already lost you, unfortunately, yeah, when the rabbit played by Eminem doesn't outdo his rival rappers, the leaders of the free world, essentially, what are you talking about, James , are you right to list them all? the things that he knows are about to accuse him of ofine in what is known as a dis, you see Lewis and he and he destroys them, he absolutely destroys them because all the things that they had prepared to say well, the rabbit says that he himself is right. and he leaves them reeling, nervous, failing, but Dell pointed it out to me by texting Angela that he went eight miles, so he didn't and there are a dozen people who have had the same thought.

Justin says Angela Raina did eight miles, but Dell feels the need to add brackets obviously confusing me with you is an Eminem movie where he wraps his critiques in the final rap battle close brackets I love it when LBC listeners send you explanatory notes en very useful to encourage to encourage absolutely and and I think you've said this, but in case you don't have to be absolutely clear, that's why they hate her and fear her so much, in fact, in fact, and that is, and as I say, the The net result of today will be that those people angry that Daen failed to score what should have basically been an open goal will redouble their efforts, so expect to see more in Sunday's papers, I'd say.
