It serves as a crucial mechanism for parliamentary scrutiny and accountability. Recently, PMQs has been newsworthy due to the impending change in leadership.

Starmer pledged his support to Burnham, highlighting the ongoing political transition. The event underscores the dynamic nature of parliamentary proceedings and the continuous oversight applied to the Prime Minister's decisions and policies, especially during periods of leadership change.
