Yeah, British PMs are obliged to face questions from Parliament regularly so they better be on their game. They are PM at the good will of their party and can be removed with a no confidence vote like Truss was.

I'd rather Tony Blair overall to this clown that Labour has brought in. He governed closer to a Tory than most Tories. His biggest problem was that he actively pursued a multi cultural agenda domestically....but the Tories were the originals on the overdrive to this. Thatcher and Major did not do them any favors in that respect.

With 20% of the total vote, you get what the guy you voted for has decided for you.

Not really. The British press is extremely partisan, and from different angles. British MPs are usually much better at extemporaneous talk because their Parliamentary debates are lively affairs that engage them in repartee. They have a lot of practice.

Does not equal the British press.
As noted by me earlier, their press is almost exclusively left leaning. “Tough questions” are either by accident, or, because a scripted answer is readily available for said “tough question.”

I watched some of Nigel Garage this morning. He's about arrogant but very centered, practical, against the DEI insanity, and supporta nationalism. Everything Britain needs.

But this is just false. Like anywhere else, the press tends to be left, but theBritish Press includes a vibrant right wing component.
Wikipedia link showing political orientation of major UK press
Generally the political orientation of “center” in that table mean center-left, but otherwise it is fairly accurate.
