13 Sept 08:51 Key points summarised by AI

Opposition chief whip Sutin Klungsang vowed Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha would be "crushed into a pulp" during the censure debate, contrasting sharply with a pro-government poster's claim the PM would not be 'killed'.
The Opposition plans to intensely question the Prime Minister for about two and a half days, focusing on critical issues including energy, the economy, corruption, and foreign affairs, with roughly 30 MPs prepared to participate.
The four-day debate will also target ten ministers, with specific individuals like Public Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul and Transport Minister Saksayam Chidchob scheduled to face censure on different days.
Opposition leader Chonlanan Srikaew urged public engagement, promising daily "exciting revelations" and asserting that even if ministers survive the parliamentary debate, they will face defeat in the next election.
