While Johnson offers boilerplate platitudes on Essex deaths, Corbyn speaks movingly about what must have possessed those 39 people to take such desperate steps & what it must’ve been like. Speaks volumes that such basic compassion would be unimaginable coming from gov bench #PMQs
Hilarious that Johnson accuses Corbyn of having ‘visceral dislike of free trade’ when Corbyn is the one campaigning to keep all our supply chains with the EU while Johnson wants to leave the deepest free trade area we’ve ever been a part of #PMQs
Johnson lines up election attack line by accusing Corbyn of wanting two referendums. Is he really saying that Scotland should be denied a referendum even when its people elect a government explicitly demanding one? Because that has a few ramifications closer to home #PMQs
Blackford notes that Johnson doesn’t give a damn about Scotland or its parliament, and that a man who’s been fired twice for lying and been found by a court to have broken the law may not be a trustworthy friend for Scotland (or anyone else) #PMQs
Brendan O’Hara asks the question which won’t go away and can’t be answered: if NI fishing industry has a ‘great deal’ with full access to single market and customs union, how would he describe the deal Scottish fishers will get without either? #PMQs
Ken Clarke pleads with Johnson to be reasonable and forget entirely meaningless and arbitrary deadline of 31 Oct. PM makes ludicrous reply about ‘delivering on time’ and lambasts Clarke for opposing. Not sure you can appeal to someone’s better nature if they don’t have one #PMQs
