PMQs was surprisingly entertaining today, with pundits switching from hoping for a snappy soundbite to being completely distracted by MPs’ backgrounds as they video called in from their homes. Guido was no different and brings you his home interior review.
Ian Blackford
PMQs got off to a great start with Ian Blackford, who, despite only showing off his top half, managed to proudly display his balls to the Commons.
Sally-Ann Hart

Barry Gardiner
Trust Barry to set Twitter off. In line with his general persona of Alan Partridge incarnate, Gardiner seemingly Facetimed in from a hotel bedroom. Insert PM Off/Premier Inn joke here…
Nick Fletcher
Nick clinches the award for most outrageous wallpaper, though the cumulative vibe from his outfit and background looked like he’d just ducked out of a wedding in order to ask his question

Ed Davey
One MP in the chamber was heard saying “interesting artwork” when Sir Ed appeared via Zoom. The only interesting thing about the LibDem’s square acting leader…
Fay Jones

Liz Saville Roberts
Liz showed off her extensive book collection. Guido reckons he can spot a couple of dictionaries above her head which, of course, Liz the Welsh Nationalist needs to help speak the mother tongue, having not moved to Wales until the age of 18.
