Labour’s Angela Eagle asked the PM a killer question about the nuclear button

It was a lively Prime Minister’s Questions this week, with Keir Starmer trying and failing to get the PM to apologise for making a false accusation about the opposition leader’s role in the Jimmy Savile case.

Additionally, Tory backbenchers declared their lack of faith in Johnson, and Ian Blackford skirted dangerously close to getting kicked out again for being too honest.

It wasn’t just his own side of the House having a go at the PM, however, and Angela Eagle’s question is one for the history books.
