It took Nigel Farage 2 minutes to ask the question and Keir Starmer 2 seconds to make him look like a dick

To PMQs now where Reform UK Nigel Farage took time out from touring the United States to ask Keir Starmer a question.

And we mention it not because of what he had to say but because of how long it took him to say it.

Not just that, but because the PM’s reply was of the rather more succinct variety, and all the better for it.

‘Nonsense!’
‘U-turn!’
‘Get on with it!’

Or if you would rather cut to the chase …

"What he should say to the people of Clacton, when he finally finds Clacton, is that they should vote Labour"

Boom.

“When he finds Clacton” smashed it for six.

And it took us back to when Starmer did this to Farage at another PMQs just a month or two back.

Keir Starmer to Nigel Farage(Reform MP):

" I'm glad to see him making a rare appearance back here in Britain… I was half expecting to see him on the immigration statistics…" #PMQs pic.twitter.com/U3vLxWRH7m
