The PM called Keir Starmer ‘Captain Crasherooney Snoozefest’ but he’s rubber and Johnson’s glue, so it’s okay
There was a distinct end-of-term air to Prime Minister’s Questions on Wednesday, with two MPs being sent to the headteacher’s office before class had even started.
ABSOLUTE SCENES at the start of #PMQs

A boisterous PM reached the heights of Year 7 wit by calling Keir Starmer ‘Captain Crasherooney Snoozefest’ (or some variant spelling of Crasherooney).
Absolutely bizarre from Johnson. Says Starmer's attacks on non-dom status don't refer to him but to some of the candidates for Tory leader (Sunak, Zahawi, and drop-out Javid). Then calls Starmer 'Captain Crasheroony Snoozefest' ?! 😅 #PMQs pic.twitter.com/AqPK18R93M

Boris Johnson says any one of 8 Tory leadership candidates could “wipe the floor” with “Captain Crasherooney Snoozefest”.

Starmer missed an open goal by not deploying the ‘I know you are, but what am I?‘ defence, but few have the oratorical skills of Johnson.
People mustered as much scorn as possible for the new low in childishness.

Johnson has just referred to Starmer as ‘Captain Crasheroonie Snoozefest’. A peak of witlessness few have reached without oxygen.

Johnson reaching for an insult for Starmer. Splutters “Captain” multiple times, looks confused, has a little sit down. Gets back up & says, with great excitement, “Captain Crasharoony Snoozefest.” This is why you should never start when you’ve got nothing.

“Captain Crasheroony Snoozefest.”
An actual thing an actual Prime Minister said to the Leader of the Opposition.
The fucking state of politics in this horrible joke of a country.

“Captain Crasherooni Snoozefest” – Johnson workshopped that with Wilfred.
