What a treat.
In case you’re wondering, it’s these two Tory backbenchers.
@KellyTolhurst @HuwMerriman next time can you tweet a picture from your view so we can all see the join?

Not everyone appreciated it, though.
To think, we vote these people in and pay their wages just for them to sit there and laugh and take the mock out of one another. This is why Parliament is a joke. They need to grow up.

And here’s Michael Fabricant himself having his say.
It's Huw Merriman MP. I realise no-one knows him. A newish member, a little short sighted, and who doesn't yet realise that PMQs are televised, bless.
I know people are annoyed about his antics, they have been calling my office, but he'll eventually learn how to behave. Sweet. https://t.co/bJOjj1Trwy— Michael Fabricant 🇬🇧🇺🇸🇮🇱🇺🇦 (@Mike_Fabricant) January 23, 2019
Fair point.
