Politics ed davey nigel farage PMQs
Ed Davey’s takedown of Nigel Farage was a genuinely funny PMQs moment and the Lib Dem leader won everybody’s vote
It was Keir Starmer’s final PMQs as prime minister and a rather emotional – it was! – half hour or so it was too.
But it wasn’t all about the PM and his opposite number, Kemi Badenoch, being remarkably civilised at the Dispatch Box.
No, there was also the spectre of Nigel Farage looming overhead, despite the fact that he’s no longer in the chamber, not just because he can’t be arsed but – for the moment at least – he’s not an MP.
And it was up to Ed Davey to deliver the best rebuke to the Reform UK leader in his absence, a gag that wasn’t just good for the House of Commons, but an actually good gag.

Okay, so it’s a tried and tested formula but still, come on people!
This is the respect that #NigelFarage receives in Parliament…and it's thoroughly deserved. https://t.co/xm1BdAUsyh

Well said, the whole Clacton by-election is no more than another Farage stunt, in a bid to deflect attention away from him and his financiers!!!
