I would like to congratulate Labour’s deputy leader on her education and her experience as a mother (PA)

I was at Oxford at the same time as Boris Johnson, but I am glad to say I never met him, as we clearly moved in very different circles – I was never a Bullingdon Club member, for example.

And I would like to congratulate Angela Rayner on her education, her experience as a mother, and her amazing debating prowess which, I am sure, is at least partly due to the life skills which make her an excellent representative of the people of this country.

I am regretful that our prime minister’s life experiences seem to consist of breaking rules, avoiding being held to account, and expecting other people to pay the price.
