PMQs: Boris Johnson calls Keir Starmer a ‘pointless, plastic bollard’

Boris Johnson’s final Prime Minister’s Questions (PMQs) was not without the traditional trading of insults between the Conservative and Labour leaders.

Johnson’s final PMQs came hours before Tory MPs voted again in the leadership contest.
