In invoking One Nation, he aimed to turn the Tories rhetoric against them - though Disraeli probably didnt envisage the equal sharing of misery.

Doubly unhelpfully for advocates of Starmers strictly time-limited approach, Nicola Sturgeon has just extended Scotlands two-week circuit breaker another week.

It also didnt help that the PM was on belligerent form, taking every opportunity to kick the Khan down the road. If the Mayor of London had been a punchbag, he would have been battered to a pulp by the end of PMQs. Mr Johnson greeted even glancing references to TfL or the continued closure of Hammersmith Bridge with the gung-ho enthusiasm of Master Rashford facing an open goal.

The whirling haymakers began the moment Catherine West (Labour, Lewisham East) bewailed the prospect of Congestion Tax being forced onto 4 million extra Londoners already facing the Double Whammy of Covid and financial ruin.

The Current Mayor of London had effectively bankrupted TFL before coronavirus had even hit and left a massive black hole in its finances, roared the PM, every inch the defiant general.

Any expansion of the congestion charge is entirely the responsibility of the BANKRUPT current LABOUR Mayor of London.

Any London transport-related question, however disobliging, received the same response. Over 60s deprived of free travel? Barnes residents facing a 15 a day car charge? Its all the fault of that pesky Mayor.

Sadiq-bashing is a favourite blood sport of Londonerseverywhere: played with friends, neighbours, and especially vigorously in black cabs. So these were fatally overpitched deliveries, easily knocked for six even by a batsman with a lacklustre recent average.

From then on, political jargon flooded the chamber. How can we help female grassroots sport build back better? asked one Tory MP. Another praised the PMs "commitment to doubling down on levelling up, surely the result of an office bet to see how much politician-speak could fit into a single sentence.

Was it the language, or simply the lack of any real opposition? Whatever the cause, I was reduced to despair. What should have been a massacre turned out like a tea-party. A plague on both their houses.
