The new era of politics has brought with it Jeremy Corbyn’s new style of crowdsourced prime minister’s questions – and between piggate, George Osborne in China and the refugee crisis, it seems certain the public would have had a lot to say about the past week’s news. So it was disappointing to realise that parliament is in recess for conference season and PMQs won’t be going ahead this week.
In light of this, we thought we’d give everyone a chance to submit the burning questions you have for David Cameron to us instead. In accordance with the rules, here are the six questions you would have loved Corbyn to ask.
“Can the prime minister please explain...”
- While some people can take drugs and write it off as being “young and reckless”, what would you say to the thousands of other people who will end up with criminal records for doing the same? (Richard, via Facebook)
- Why is inviting a foreign power such as China to build nuclear reactors in the UK not a threat to our security? (Alex, via Twitter)
- Did David Cameron know of Lord Ashcroft’s non-dom status – and if so, when did he find out? (Robin)
- Is this government still keeping up the pretence of being the “greenest government ever” or will it now be honest about being intent on expunging all the “green crap” from public policy? (Tony, via Facebook)
- Are Iain Duncan Smith and the Department for Work and Pensions going to be investigated after the recent revelations that a coroner proved that a claimant’s death was directly linked to being assessed as fit to work? (Rachel, via Facebook)
- Are you ashamed about listening to Supertramp? (Andrew, via Facebook)
Think we missed one out? Leave your question for Cameron in the comments below.
