    A snake who used to reside in the Labour Party but who is now a one of the so called Independents. Not in the group though.

    May had previously made several unpleasant remarks about Jeremy Corbyn in her responses at PMQs. She even said to him that his own time was up.

    She was almost fed by Austin here. Shame on the pair of them.

    Q15. May I start by associating myself completely with the final answer that the Prime Minister gave to the Leader of the Opposition about his need to consider his future? It is absolutely clear to me that the vast majority of Labour MPs agree with her. Hundreds of people have come to my community meetings in the last few weeks. They are worried about antisocial behaviour, car crime, burglaries and violent crime. They want more police on the streets and more criminals locked up, so will the Prime Minister urge her successor to make sure that West Midlands police gets all the support it needs to keep people in Dudley safe?

    The Prime Minister
    First, I congratulate the hon. Gentleman on his appointment as trade envoy to Israel. He has done a lot of work on antisemitism, and should be congratulated on it. We have been ensuring that we put more money into police forces: around £1 billion extra is available to police forces this year, and many police forces around the country are recruiting more officers. On the theme with which the hon. Gentleman started his question, I imagine that to him and to others it is a matter of great sadness that the Leader of the Opposition took the Labour party through voting against extra money for the police, and against extra powers for the police.'

    He has a history of shooting his mouth off and being offensive.

    The Dudley North constituency who voted Labour is badly served by him. There was a Labour majority of 22 over the Conservatives in 2017.
