a) Questions are chosen randomly
b) He hasn't tabled a question since July

Farage's 'PMQs strike' mocked as he hasn't asked for extra questions in months
MPs are allowed to put their name into a ballot for extra questions at PMQs. The last time Nigel Farage's name was put into the 'shuffle' was in July

On this day 88 years ago, Robert Johnson was finishing his first recording session (he only managed two). Between Nov 23 and 25, 1936, in room 414 of the Gunter Hotel in San Antonio, he laid down 16 tunes, inc Terraplane Blues and Cross Road Blues. Rock n roll was born, history was made.

Jacob Rees-Mogg claims that nobody cares about #partygate anymore.

The BBC say the documentary only makes people angry.

The truth is it shows everyone what lying assholes the Conservatives are.

So do you care?

Feel free to RP to show that you do.
