PMQs scorecard: Starmer and Sunak test out election lines but dodge Braverman and Boris rows

Published Mon, 16 Dec 2024 18:36:53 GMT

Over the past year, they have also targeted various artworks and exhibits. The raids, ordered by Munich prosecutors, come days after Chancellor Olaf Scholz said that he thought it was “completely nutty to somehow stick yourself to a painting or on the street.” Leading figures with the environmentalist Green party, part of his governing coalition, h...
