Functioning of Government

Debate between Michael Ellis and Steven Bonnar

Thursday 7th July 2022 Commons Chamber

[Michael Ellis]

I thank the hon. Gentleman, but his services are not required, because there are a plethora of talented and dedicated individuals on the Government Benches who will serve in the Government.

[Steven Bonnar (Coatbridge, Chryston and Bellshill) (SNP)]

For many people in Scotland, the outgoing Prime Minister is Westminster personified: backward, unfit for purpose, delusional and in disgrace. Just like the Union that he is the Minister for, the Prime Minister is isolated, broken and bereft of ideas. His time is up. The party is over. Can the Minister tell me whether there will be a leaving do in No. 10 tonight? We will be raising a glass in Coatbridge, Chryston and Bellshill.

[Michael Ellis]

I do not think a serious answer is expected to that frivolous question.
