\"PMQs\"<\/p>\n

Brexit
\n<\/strong><\/span>For the second week in a row, Corbyn focused his questioning on Brexit. After setting out Labour’s position on the Customs Union earlier this week, Corbyn seemed to have more ammunition for his clash with May surrounding this issue. The Labour Leader mocked May’s claim to be pursuing \u2018ambitious managed divergence\u2019 from the EU, asking \u2018what on earth\u2019 she was talking about.<\/p>\n

May spoke about the importance of bringing back control of our borders and our money, to which Corbyn referenced the positive feedback his Customs Union speech got from the CBI and other business groups. He then turned on Liam Fox, who claimed that Labour did not have a clue about the issue.<\/p>\n

May attempted to tease MPs with the speech she had planned for Friday, spelling out the details of her policy. Some opposition MPs shouted at May to question why she was making a separate speech outside parliament, which prompted the PM to say: \u2018Just calm down\u2019.<\/p>\n

Corbyn continued to attack the Government’s handling of Brexit, highlighting the importance of the NHS’s reliance on immigrant staff. Corbyn then turned on Boris Johnson, claiming that he had \u2018mixed up\u2019 the Irish border with the one separating the North London boroughs of Camden & Islington and Westminster, a reference to a \u2018comical\u2019 comparison made by the Foreign Secretary on BBC Radio 4’s Today programme. To round up his attack on the Government, Corbyn asked May when she will put the country’s interests \u2018before the oversized egos in her own cabinet\u2019.<\/p>\n

Irish Border
\n<\/strong><\/span>The SNP’s Westminster leader Iain Blackford continued with Corbyn’s attack on the Government’s handling of the Irish border. He claimed the \u2018bumbling foreign secretary\u2019 was \u2018making the UK a laughing stock\u2019, prompting May to repeat that her Government was committed to the Good Friday agreement.<\/p>\n

DUP MP David Simpson asked the PM to confirm that she will \u2018never agree\u2019 to a border between Northern Ireland and the rest of the UK. She said that such a proposal would \u2018undermine the UK common market and the constitutional integrity of the UK\u2019. She told the house that \u2018no UK Prime Minister could ever agree to it\u2019.<\/p>\n
