Keir Starmer had an appalling performance at Prime Minister’s Questions today. It was summarised very well later in the session by Conservative MP Andrew Snowden, who told the chamber:

Every week the Prime Minister comes here and reads out this pre-scripted nonsense that bears no resemblance to the questions he’s actually asked. The leader of the opposition asked him about Peter Mandelson and he answered about the war in Iran. The leader of the opposition asked him about Peter Mandelson again, and he answered with an attack on the shadow justice secretary. He was asked about Mandelson again and talked about protests in London. What is he scared of? What is he hiding?

Every week the Prime Minister comes here and reads out this pre-scripted nonsense........
