The future of the Labour Party — it’s finally here

PMQs this week was a very different affair from what we’re used to.

For a start, of course, it was largely held over Zoom (though some MPs did attend in person — there didn’t seem to be that much rhyme or reason as to which ones did). We got to see the insides of MPs homes, the impressive bookcases, the taste in art and in some cases the very plain white walls. While Zoom has been a Godsend for business, ensuring that for some people work can continue from home, it brought a certain flatness to the proceedings. PMQs is largely about the theatre and spectacle of hundreds of grown men and women jeering loudly at each other for 30 minutes a week. There was none of that.
