Andrew Gimson’s PMQs sketch: Johnson sets out to infuriate his opponents

The pleasures of moral condemnation could distract the PM’s critics from replying to his arguments.

WATCH: Johnson heckles Corbyn during PMQs. “Call an election, you great big girl’s blouse”

The Prime Minister’s first PMQs may not have generated much light – but it generated a lot of heat.

Mark Harper: Yeah but no but yeah but. When it comes to making up its mind about an election, Labour is Vicky Pollard.

Jeremy Corbyn’s Surrender Bill won’t just delay Brexit. It threatens to stop it altogether.

And just like Kennedy’s successor, he must match a serious time with a focus on delivery, not just promises.

Henry Hill: GERS Day – Scottish Government’s own statistics punch fresh hole in the case for independence

“When otherwise sensible folk, holding down serious jobs, devise and propagate all manner of conspiracy theories, as well as insult Scottish Government analysts…”

“We will do everything necessary to stop a disastrous no-deal, for which this Government has no mandate.”
