Jeremy Corbyn ridicules Boris Johnson over Heathrow at PMQs

Theresa May and Jeremy Corbyn have clashed over Brexit, as the Labour leader sought to capitalise on cabinet rifts over the role of business in the negotiations.

MPs shouted 'Where's Boris?' when Mr Corbyn mocked the foreign secretary, who infuriated colleagues by reportedly shouting, "F*** business", when asked by diplomats about the plans to handle industry.
