After his best performance as leader at PMQs last week, Jeremy Corbyn was back to his lacklustre self today. He again went on academies. But after having got Cameron to say that there would be a bill to make all schools academies in the Queen’s Speech, he failed to press on. By the end of Corbyn’s six questions, Cameron was visibly relaxed. Though, it was telling how the Tory benches go rather quiet when this subject comes up.
Labour had a glimpse of what they could have had when Yvette Cooper questioned Cameron on child refugees. Cooper argued, passionately, that these unaccompanied child refugees in Europe are not safe and that Cameron’s position on the issue shames the Commons and the country. Now, you couldn’t hear Cameron’s response because of the roars and applause from the Labour and SNP benches.
