SNP's Ian Blackford says it is 'simply unacceptable' that hundreds of thousands of EU nationals have had their 'rights diminished by failures of this govt'. The PM says the govt is working 'as fast as we possibly can' to process applications. PMQs:

resigned as health secretary on Saturday after breaking COVID rules

That happened in the very first question in this session, with South Ribble Tory MP Katherine Fletcher asking Mr Johnson whether he would encourage EU citizens who have yet to apply for the settlement scheme to apply before today’s midnight deadline? Mr Blackford said"hundreds of thousands" of EU citizens are in"limbo" and urged the prime minister to scrap the deadline for applications to avoid “another Tory windrush” where people become illegal immigrants"overnight".

Mr Farry says he is"sure the prime minister is delighted" that the High Court of Belfast"upheld the government's view on the Northern Ireland Protocol". She asks the PM why his party has cut more than 70% of youth services in the past decade, asking him to reverse the"disastrous cuts" to help tackle the issue.

She calls for the extension of full furlough and support"beyond September" particularly for those areas most impacted. These moments cause outrage in the Commons chamber, but the question of whether that outrage changes minds in the wider public is harder to judge. Pollsters often talk about how Boris Johnson's gaffe-prone use of language is nothing new, and yet his electoral successes suggest it has not so far been an impediment.says great sports"start at the grass roots" and tells MPs that over 400 leisure facilities have closed since the pandemic began.

Mr Johnson also refers to Labour's deputy leader Angela Rayner being given three jobs after being sacked as party chair in May."This is not the Westminster bubble," Mr Starmer blasts. As we predicted in our preview of this PMQs, Sir Keir Starmer went in hard on the prime minister's own decision-making when it came to Matt Hancock's position at the end of last week.

The Labour leader tells MPs of Ollie who died of Leukaemia on 5 May, the day before the pictures of Mr Hancock were taken, and how only one person was able to be at his bedside when he passed away.The PM sends his condolences to Ollie's family and repeats that Mr Hancock was no longer in his role on Saturday, the day after the CCTV footage was released.

Covid-19: Hospitalizations and Deaths are rising, but slowly

I don’t which is worse Keir_Starmer using someone’s grief to make a political point score Hypocrisy

SpanishDan1 Starmer is scraping the barrel, none of his cheap stunts using other families tragedies works.This is the same enabler of the Tory party, the same man who is spending more time on smear and purging labour members instead of holding Tories to account. Divisive figure,time he went.

Shameful of the invisible man using the sad death of a boy to boost his standing. Let’s hope he is ousted when they lose the by-election

V powerful stuff

“So that Ollie and his family won’t suffer” Did he even listen 😡

ChalfontStGiles The answer is Vaccine. What is the question.

JohnsonOut

He needs to stop political point scoring and focus on the pressing issue - the government’s creeping herd immunity policy for kids. Hancock can wait, keeping covid in schools is the glaring issue not being addressed.

BorisJohnson has no feelings. He only cares about himself. I’m feel so sorry for Ollie family and the many families let down by PM & this hateful corrupt government. BorisHasFailedTheNation

Gosh - the rules are complicated enough without him muddying the water by suggesting there's this massive bubble in Westminster. Many could apply this to their situation.

On top of all the new lies Johnson finishes this clip on an old lie that was disproven months ago.

Why is this man tolerated? What do people see in him - a liar and a chancer?

Yes or No...waiting

This gets worse every time you watch it. Heard it live and that was bad enough, Johnson’s pre scripted response to get everything back to vaccines is frankly an embarrassment. Not one ounce of empathy in his body for the family in question or indeed any other family!!PMQs

Disrespectful to Ollie and his family, but it what we gone to expect from Johnson.

JohnsonOut

Words fail me.

BorisJohnson is a moral vacuum...

BORIS BUBBLE... A GIFT TO THE theSNP AND SCOTTISH INDEPENDENCE

SimpliArt Why does Johnson keep looking behind himself whilst talking. Is he looking to make sure his backing boys are still there.

God, Johnson’s just gross. JohnsonOut
