Your mole tends to avoid PMQs, preferring to watch University Challenge when the urge to watch posh people making incomprehensible noises arises.
So it missed an entertaining set-to between the Prime Minister and the Leader of the Opposition over their mums.

To which Cameron responded: “Put on a proper suit, do up your tie, and SING THE NATIONAL ANTHEM.”
