Confidence in Her Majesty’s Government

Kevin Brennan Excerpts

Monday 18th July 2022 Commons Chamber

[The Prime Minister]

I will give way one last time.

[Kevin Brennan (Cardiff West) (Lab)]

It is highly unconventional for the Prime Minister to put down a confidence motion in his own Government, although I suppose he is an unconventional person, since only an unconventional man would want the opportunity to speak at his own funeral. Is not the essential problem that despite the litany of what he thinks are his fantasy achievements, the bottom line is that this country is supposed to operate on the good chap theory of government, but it does not operate when there is a bad apple at the core?
