Deputy Prime Minister Oliver Dowden left MPs in hysterics as he opened up his PMQs performance with a cutting takedown of Angela Rayner.
Dowden wasted no time before digging into his Labour counterpart amid questions about her living arrangements.
Rayner had opened proceedings by criticising Tory “desperation” to discuss her living arrangements.
“The public want to know what this government is going to do about theirs”, she said.
Oliver Dowden mocked Rayner to open PMQs
PARLIAMENT
“Natalie, from Brighton, has been served with two no-fault eviction notices in 18 months. She joins nearly a million families at risk of homeless because of this party’s failure to ban this cruel practice.
“Instead of obsessing over my house, when will he get a grip and show the same obsession with ending no-fault evictions?”
Dowden quipped in response: “It’s a pleasure to have another exchange with the right honourable lady in this house.
“That’s the fifth in 12 months. Any more of these and she will be claiming it as her principal residence.”
Dowden’s comment prompted loud jeers from surrounding MPs as Rayner sarcastically laughed along.
