End of an era. Bercow’s last PMQs. Question marks hang over him on the bullying allegations, but we may come to miss him very quickly.
Anyway, in better news it’s Boris Johnson’s last PMQs too. Rejoice! #makeithappen
Corbyn: ‘I hope you’ll indulge me Mr Speaker as I say a word about you. (Beat.) I’m sure you will.’
Don’t get why people say this guy doesn’t have a sense of humour

PM repeats his lie about how many new hospitals he’s building.
Your regular reminder that in Britain advertising for political parties faces less regulation than advertising for a jar of Marmite. Johnson is about to lie with impunity on billboards and TV for next 6 weeks. #PMQs

So, we know how election will work. Labour will go all out on NHS and Johnson’s planned sell-out to Trump. Johnson will accuse Corbyn of being ‘US-phobic’ and ‘dither and delay’ will be the new ‘strong and stable’.
Whichever side you’re on, it’s going to be hell on earth. #PMQs

The man who literally spluttered ‘fuck business’ and had to be legally restrained from crashing the pound and putting millions out of work now has the gall to accuse his opponent of offering ‘economic catastrophe’. Do not let Johnson get away with this. #PMQs
Jess Phillips on top form. Demands to know why Tories think it’s so funny that her son can’t go to school on Friday because of their cuts, then concludes with burn that ‘PM is responsible for the children in this country’ even though he ‘might struggle with that personally’ #PMQs
Ken Clarke delivers his last question to the prime minister by pleading for a soft Brexit. The Speaker salutes him and he wins applause. Clarke commands the respect of people from across the House. There are not many parliamentarians of his stature. He will be missed.
Swinson asks PM if he’ll debate ‘this girly swot’ during campaign. He responds Lib Dems represent ‘only dither, delay and indecision’. Mate, they literally want to revoke Article 50 the day after they win a majority. Say what you like about them but it’s hardly indecisive #PMQs
Meanwhile Tory knight of the realm Sir John Hayes stands up and quotes Proust and then denounces the ‘bourgeois liberal elite’. Honestly can’t make this shit up. #PMQs
