Given how miserable things are for Theresa May at the moment, with her Cabinet behaving like children, her backbenchers urging her to use the authority she doesn’t have to tell those ministers off, and a policy free-for-all caused by having no majority, today’s final PMQs before the summer should have been extremely painful for the Prime Minister. But while Jeremy Corbyn has arguably been a key factor in this whole miserable situation coming about for May, he is still quite handy when it comes to helping her survive what should be deeply miserable sessions in the Commons.
The Labour leader had a good series of questions which linked the Cabinet turmoil to Philip Hammond’s comments on public sector workers being overpaid, reminding her that she might preach public spending restraint, but that she had still been happy to spend money on her deal with the DUP.
