“I would greatly appreciate it if Her Majesty’s Leader of the Opposition would stop doing his constitutional duty”

He is really bad at this.

I said it shouldn’t of happened and that it’s terrible, I think you’ll find that is an answer

Just following on Twitter, I see they've bussed in some MPs to make noises behind Johnson this week.

I didn’t know that? Of course that’s not acceptable....

Don’t think promising 25k track and tracers is a bad thing by the end of the month, unless you want to put a negative spin on it

Are you confident they will actually achieve that? Remember Hancock promising to “test 100,000 people per day” by the end of April? Here's the figures for May:

1 - 73.191
2 - 63,667
3 - 56,397
4 - 62,956
5 - 69,839
6 - 57,006
7 - 65,092
8 - 67,443
9 - 63,339
10 - 64,362
11 - 65,337
12 - 60,410
13 - 61,741
14 - 71,644
15 - 69,590
16 - 78,537
17 - 76,684
18 - 67,409

Still not close to the 100,000 a day let alone the 200,000 a day Johnson promised by the end of May.

He gives the impression he is making it up as he goes along, giving any answer that will take the pressure off him. Today he has promised huge pay rises to NHS staff despite the Treasury talking about public sector pay freezes, which one do we believe?

Ignoring actual content, I thought Johnson generally kept his shit together better and Starmer stumbled in delivery a bit today. The weeks training paid off.

I actually think starmer comes across okay, better than Corbyn anyway but that isn’t hard!

That was clearly the instruction and Johnson had obviously been prepped for it. He was giving his answers and building up to the rabble shouting down Starmer. Only problem was there wasn't enough of them in there for it to be in the slightest bit effective.

Its very obvious why JRM is so desperate to have the chamber full for PMQs.

James O’Brien is calling it a score draw.

Sad state of affairs when stuttering and stumbling thought non-answers is considered a score draw.

To be perfectly honest, take your sides out of it and the whole spectacle is embarrassing, these people are supposed to be leading & directing 67m people, and the whole lot of them are immature twats who can't even talk without childish bickering, yelling and acting like 7 yr olds.

The whole system is just broke, it probably makes for great TV but its a complete shambles.

It isn't bad, it is utterly pathetic. It is 3 months late. It offers nothing like the capacity needed now given the residual rate of infection in the community. If it had been in place by the end of Feb it might have been so much better.

Well is usually wrong. He's the man who thought that ridiculing leaves with genuine fears was n anyway a gofd idea.

General opinion seems that Starmer won again.

PMQs isn’t where the country gets run though. It’s weekly political entertainment/theatre. The actual scrutiny happens in select committees.

I agree it’s a silly excess, same as the palava around opening of parliament and other traditions.

Yes, O'Brien is a twat. He spent a long time rubbishing the only viable opposition before the election and now shows buyer's remorse afterwards. Stupid c**t.

In other news Maccys now opening in the East of England.

Oh yeah he’s a massive twat. Just happened to be the first person I saw on Twitter calling a “win”.

Yeah you're right- its all pointless to me. Its all a bit Jerry Springer/ Jeremy Kyle & these are supposed to be the ones setting the example, its pathetic.

Having said that, if they started doing lie detector & paternity tests live from PMQ, that would certainly be worth tuning in for- Boris would definitely be crying off.

Hike to immigration health surcharge will ‘penalise’ NHS workers from overseas, campaigners say

Get them all back in June 1st. They need to stop being so irrational.

Mr Macron certainly would in France - “now what was the relationship with your body guard”

They’ll be fine to come in after they’ve dropped their kids back at private school.

Still really irritating fluff questions being asked though, one by an MP who couldn't stop smirking as she asked it-you're a safe seat Tory MP not a fricking celebrity

It has it's uses. Boris didn't realise he was being used so Labour could launch an attack on increasing the nhs surcharge without exempting NHS employees which.means the are charging foreign born nhs staff even more to us the nhs they work for.

That scheme was riddled with holes the day it was announced .
