Just about managed to stay awake for todays PMQ's but most probably down to the fact Corbyn was totally out of his depth.

Bercow should have been rid of years ago. Just proves corruption is power and power is control.

As for PMQ's Mayday was a washout and Jezzer was a clown.

Once again I say none of them are fit to vote for.

Not me, I voted out because I'm sick of hearing from my MP's its the EU and has nothing to do with us. "IF" we leave they will not be able to use that excuse anymore but saying that I suspect they will with a new twist on it. :03:

Theresa May has been applauded by Tory MPs after making a "heartfelt" appeal for unity over Brexit and urging her critics to get behind her.

So the gutless wonders loose again against the boss for now.

Looks like May is staying as the backbenches wet their nappies fearing they are going to loose their seats at the next general election.

No doubt the chancellor will brush that one off by saying coffee shops and fast food shops will take over.

Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell says he has been "working from home" this week after injuring his face in a fall.

He said he had tripped over some rubbish at the end of his road, as he was "rushing home" from a meeting of Labour MPs.

PM May dropping that statement has put Hammond in the hot chair. As we all saw the look on his face saying...NO.

No point scrapping it due to the cost of the roll out, scrapping it will cost even more. Sort the mess out don't just walk away.

Scottish Conservative leader Ruth Davidson has given birth to a baby boy - saying she and partner Jen Wilson are "delighted".

Ms Davidson said her son had been named Finn Paul Davidson, and weighed 10lb 1.5oz when he was born on Friday.

Announcing the birth on Twitter, she said: "Welcome to the world, little one. Know that you are loved".

Ms Davidson started her maternity leave earlier this month, but is due to return to work in the spring.

She and Ms Wilson announced in April that they were expecting a child after undergoing a successful IVF procedure, with Finn being born at Edinburgh Royal Infirmary on Friday morning.
