Keir Starmer’s takedown of Rishi Sunak was good but Dawn Butler’s was magnificent

In a small survey sample (three so far) it was definitely Rishi Sunak’s worst PMQs yet, battered by continued controversy around home secretary Suella Braverman and less than 24 hours after her fellow Cabinet minister Gavin Williamson had thrown in the towel.

If it was an open goal for Labour leader Keir Starmer then he gratefully hoofed it into the back of the net.

Keir Starmer – This Prime Minister is too weak to sack the security threats sat around the cabinet table… if you can't even stand up to a cartoon bully with a pet spider… what chance has he got of running the country?

This can be the only way anyone refers to Gavin Williamson from now on.

“A cartoon bully with a pet spider”

One of the best lines ever, surely?

Keir Starmer 🔥 #PMQs

But even better was Labour MP Dawn Butler, who was both devastating and hilarious at the same time.

Devastating from Dawn Butler:

"Can the Prime Minister clarify to the House and the rest of the country when the scheduled programme of integrity, professionalism and accountability will begin?" #PMQs pic.twitter.com/mG6rDCLm1P

If it was a boxing match the ref would have stopped it

Going to need some serious ointment for that burn!

Last word to @DawnButlerBrent.

Thanks Pippa 😊… and the government side looked embarrassed and so they should be. PM answer to me was unacceptable fluff. https://t.co/oTInGaao8l
