Sir Snappy! Angry Keir Starmer loses it in furious PMQs clashes

Boy! was Keir Starmer tetchy in PMQs. Sir Grumpy accused the Tories of being "braindead" before blasting them as a "dead party walking".

He had repeated pops at Nigel Farage, even the poor woman from Plaid Cymru got an ear bashing from the Prime Minister. Why was the usually mild-mannered Labour leader so irritated - had he just received David Lammy's expenses claims? For those who may have missed it, the Foreign Secretary appears to have got into a spot of bother over a £600 fare for a 360 mile taxi journey so he could go skiing in Italy. Ooops.

Anyway, back to Sir Snippy and his fury at Liz Saville Roberts.

Face like thunder, he snorted "rubbish" after the lefty-Welsh politician dared criticise the PM's language around his immigration crackdown.

Sir Snappy defended Monday's speech, where he warned the UK risked becoming an "island of strangers", but it clearly touched a nerve.

Backbench Labour MPs, who sat awkwardly in the chamber, have also raised concerns about the language, with some comparing it to a similar passage from Enoch Powell's infamous 1968 "rivers of blood".

Not one to miss an opportunity, Farage was quick to point out that the Prime Minister is "learning a great deal" from Reform UK as he grilled him over small boat crossings.

By this time Sir Crotchety had had enough, simply reeling off a list of things Reform had voted against.

To be fair, it's been a rough week for Sir Keir who has had suspected firebomb attacks on his homes.

After extending her sympathies, Kemi Badenoch also ruffled the PM's feathers as she took him to task over rising unemployment.

He didn't like that either, slamming the Tory leader for criticising his recent trade deals with India and America.

Sir Grumpalot told her to take a train to Solihull (cars), Scunthorpe (steel) and Scotland (whisky) to speak to the workers whose jobs have been saved as a result.

Chris Philp, the Shadow Home Secretary and another normally mild-mannered fellow, was boiling with rage.

The Oura smart ring on his finger - which measures a person's heart rate, among other things - was smouldering, it was having to work so hard.

Mrs Badenoch won't be getting that train but perhaps it's time for Sir Keir to take a taxi....just not with David Lammy.
