Commons laughs at Sunak's joke about by-election loss at PMQs

Transcript

00:00 I start by welcoming the new Member for Medfordshire, the first Labour MP ever to represent those

00:09 beautiful towns and villages. He defied the odds, history and, of course, the fantasy

00:17 Lib Dem bar charts. Is the Prime Minister as relieved as I am that those constituents

00:27 are not burdened with his defeated candidate, who told them, "Don't worry, Mr Speaker,

00:33 I'm going to sanitise this", to F off if they're struggling with the cost of living?

00:39 Well, Mr Speaker, I'm proud of what this Government is doing to support the most vulnerable

00:44 over the past year. But, Mr Speaker, can I in fact join him in welcoming the new Members

00:51 to their places? After all, I suspect the new Member for Mid Beds may actually support

00:56 me a little bit more than the last one.
