Rishi Sunak’s microphone cut out at precisely the funniest time at PMQs and you couldn’t have scripted it better
It wasn’t a good PMQs for Rishi Sunak today. Sure, it’s never a good PMQs for the beleaguered prime minister, but today it was especially bad.
And this was surely the icing on the cake the microphone cutting out at the Dispatch Box just as he said – or tried to say – this.

Couldn’t have scripted it any better.
Metaphor alert
Unfortunately for @rishi_sunak, his peroration in his final #PMQ riposte to Starmer – “Britain isn’t listening” – was exactly when his mic was turned off, as Speaker Hoyle intervened.— Paul Waugh (@paulwaugh) November 29, 2023

There wasn’t any point switching it on. Same tired bollocks from a party that’s finished.
