This always seemed to me like pure theater. Have there ever been any serious consequences to anything anyone ever said during the Prime Minister's Questions?

This always seemed to me like pure theater.
Have there ever been any serious consequences to anything anyone ever said during the Prime Minister's Questions?
Or are they (like every other politician the world over) just putting on a good show for the folks back home?
- ChrisMarshallNY 4y agoI suspect the latter. They are also putting on a show for each other. Most of the stuff that actually happens, does so, in the shadows (for good or ill).
- dboreham 4y agoThe beginning of WW2 comes to mind (see the 2017 movie : Churchill)
- colinmhayes 4y agoThe serious consequences are that if you do especially badly like Truss did yesterday the voters get pissed and you have to resign.
- pmoriarty 4y agoShe resigned because of what she said at Questions?
- m0llusk 4y agoNo, her job was to guide the nation forward. She started by putting forward policies that were complete nonstarters including a tax break for the rich that stunk up the whole room something awful. Leaning this way or that is one thing, but getting the math completely wrong is another.
- colinmhayes 4y agoI think her performance at question shined a light on the incompetence of her administration, destroying her support and causing her to resign, yes.
