DOWNING St confirmed that our slowly departing premier will have one final bash at PMQs on Wednesday July 24 after which she will nip to Buckingham Palace to take leave of the Queen and her office of state.

As Thezza slips closer to the sunset the weekly jousting with Jezza and Bagpuss Blackford appears to be seizing the interest of fewer and fewer MPs as gaps are beginning to appear on the backbenches and, indeed, on the frontbenches.

Until the Maybot’s last hurrah, the chief comrade is seeking to break through her armour the best he can as either Bozza or the big H are likely to try their damnest every week to humiliate the hairy Marxist much more than the vicar’s daughter.

After last week’s court ruling the Labour chief had the bit between his teeth over UK arms sales to Saudi Arabia.

He told MPs there was "overwhelming evidence" war crimes were being committed in Yemen by Saudi forces and the judgement - that continuing to license military equipment for export to the Gulf state was unlawful - should be a “wake-up call” to stop selling Riyadh arms, which were used to oppress Yemenis.

Saudia Arabia, insisted the chief comrade, flouted every human rights norm yet Britain had supplied it with more than £4.5 billion-worth of deadly weapons.

Thezza was on the back foot, stressing how her Government was working hard to bring peace to the troubled region.

Showing how she was finding the questioning uncomfortable, the PM used the old political trick of widening out the subject, telling MPs: “Let's just look at some of the relationships he supports.” Labour eyes rolled.

"When people were killed in Salisbury, his sympathies were with Russia. When terrorists were killing our people, his sympathies were with the IRA. In the recent tanker attacks in the Gulf, his sympathies were with Iran.”

To Conservative cheers, Maggie May added: “He never backs Britain and he should never be Prime Minister."

Later, the SNP champion again could not resist the “horror show,” as Nicola Sturgeon has lovingly described it, of the Tory leadership, firing off barbs in all directions.

Accusing the PM of “gross cowardice,” the Highlander let rip, branding Jeremy Hunt the “most incompetent Health Secretary in our history” while accusing Boris Johnson of “making a career out of lying”.

The Tory berserkers, well, went beserk at that one but the Speaker did not hear the l-word and urged Bagpuss to get a move on.

As the chamber rumbled, Thezza slowly stood up to declare, to more Tory hoots: “Either of the candidates for this high office would do a darned sight better job than anybody sitting on the Opposition benches.”
