  • It was the last PMQs of the year, and Joe,

  • there were some pretty unfunny jokes there today, weren't there?

  • And some barbed ones as well, some Christmas-themed critiques,

  • Kenny Badenock and Keir Starmer in particular,

  • going at each other with a festive theme, trying to,

  • yeah, trying to attack each other and other rival parties.

  • And how much thought, how much effort goes into writing those gags?

  • A lot, a lot of different people.

  • in different parties, feed-in jokes.

  • It's probably a little bit easier when there's an obvious theme,

  • and certainly in terms of Kemi Bade.

  • I'm told some of those that help her out are pretty prominent.

  • He's not going to ban Dr Strikes.

  • He doesn't have the baubles.

  • And a little festive advice to those in reform.

  • If mysterious men from the East appear bearing gifts, This time report it to the police.

  • Mr Speaker, he said his main mission was economic growth, but the economy is shrinking.

  • With a year like that, is it any surprise that all his MPs want for Christmas is a new leader?

  • We've got the Muppets Christmas Carol here.

  • The defections are happening so fast that at Christmas the Leader of the Opposition is going to be left home alone.
