‘This government despises those who defraud people,’ says Johnson, telling his first lie of the day #PMQs

Starmer making a lot of hay from Kwarteng’s obscene claim the other day that fraud somehow doesn’t count as crime

Now moving on to the scam of the energy bill loans. Traditional knockabout here but Starmer doing well with it

Johnson repeats the lie that we have the fastest growing economy in the G7

Johnson says a windfall tax would deter investment and raise prices for consumers. How can a line of argument be so preposterous and so dull

Weirdly for a knockabout on energy there’s almost none of it in the chamber

Starmer drives home his ‘buy now pay later’ scheme on energy, saying working people will pick up the bill. ‘One big scam and people of this country will pay the price’

For some inexplicable reason Johnson keeps talking about lockdowns and lying that Starmer kept voting to keep us in the EU. ‘They play politics,’ he adds

All prime ministers should be forced into therapy as a condition of taking office
