Keir Starmer’s A++ takedown of the absent Nigel Farage at PMQs was so good it even had Lee Anderson laughing
To PMQs now, where what qualifies as a joke in the House of Commons wouldn’t always pass muster as being very funny in actual real life.
But Keir Starmer’s A++ takedown of the absent Farage, holidaying in the south of France despite Parliament going into recess this Friday, it even had Farage’s Reform UK colleagues Lee Anderson and Richard Tice laughing.
NEW: Reform MP Lee Anderson asks Keir Starmer how many people he has deported were failed small boat asylum seekers
Starmer: “It’s very good he’s standing in for [Nigel Farage], no sign of him yesterday. He was the first through the e-gates to somewhere south of France” #PMQs pic.twitter.com/sBlPHuehkP

There’s something about Farage that makes Starmer up his game gag-wise. https://t.co/G3BE29ILIj

Decent #PMQs gag from Starmer as he flags Nigel Farage’s absence from the Commons as he’s on holiday in France.
“He’s the first through the e-gates”.
