And it was indeed a moment to savour (and might come to be regarded as a watershed moment in Johnson’s premiership).

But we preferred this question from Labour MP Diana Johnson because, well, have a watch for yourself.

When a PM is "trying to convince the public that he's actually stupid rather than dishonest, isn't it time that he goes, now?" asks Labour MP Diana Johnson

Boris Johnson says the public "have responded" to what the government said on restrictions#PMQs https://t.co/eQ6JkAJwxY pic.twitter.com/wcHPeFfCel

Boom.

Fantastic line from Labour’s Diana Johnson that the PM is busy trying to convince people that “he is stupid rather than dishonest”

Trying to convince the British people the prime minister is stupid not a liar 😭😭😭 Diana Johnson probably had the best line of the day
