It produces so little light it may as well be a black hole, its gravity sucking in and annihilating all substance. It is the apotheosis of pointless parliamentary theatre.

As Keir Starmer and Rishi Sunak traded scripted blows across the floor of the house below, your author was reminded that among all Tony Blair’s crimes, he did do one good thing: making PMQs once a week where it used to be twice.It then got brought up during a ministerial statement on Monday.

We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
