Sir Keir Starmer's final PMQs was a display of guilty sentimentalism as Labour MPs and the party's chairman wept at his departure. The session was marked by a waterfall of crocodile tears as the Labour benches showed their emotions.
Labour Party chairman Anna Turley was soon dewy-eyed with sadness, and even the usually stoic Chancellor teetered on the verge of waterworks. The Labour MPs did whimpering Stan Laurel impressions, chins crumpling as Sir Keir took his leave of them. The old booby himself did rather well, nothing becoming him in his premiership like his parting. The weepiness on the Labour benches was wonderful, a display of four hundred hypocrites.
The sham squad had finally lost their leader. The session continued, with each backbencher's lame jokes about football or the Clacton by-election becoming progressively groansome. Sir Keir had to endure a friendly question from Rachael Maskell, whose agitating against benefits cuts last autumn so wounded his government. He repeatedly claimed that he had 'fixed the economy' and 'left the country in better shape'.
A Conservative heckler: 'No you didn't'. Carolyn Harris had the last question but nearly didn't get through it, she was so distressed. Tears were now coursing down Ms Reeves's cheeks. Liz Kendall had succumbed.
Lammy mopped his hooter. Up in the gallery, Lord Hermer was inconsolable, a grieving diva from Italian opera.
'I love you,' said Sir Keir to his family. 'Goodbye! ' He departed through a tunnel of sobbing handmaidens behind the Chair and Speaker Hoyle finally got the two-faced stinkards to cease clapping the prime minister they had so casually destroyed

Andy Burnham breaks silence in Commons to praise Keir Starmer and Hillsborough campaignersLabour leader hopeful Andy Burnham has broken his three-week silence in the House of Commons to praise Keir Starmer and Hillsborough campaigners. Mr Burnham thanked his friend Keir Starmer for his work on the Hillsborough Law, which will create a legally-enforceable duty of candour. The long-delayed law will compel public officials and authorities to act transparently when investigations and inquiries take place. Mr Burnham also paid tribute to Sir Keir's commitment to a country based on justice and fairness. The Hillsborough Law takes its name from the 1989 disaster in which 97 Liverpool fans were killed at the football stadium in Sheffield. The legislation was delayed amid concerns from the security services about how it could impact spies. But the Government has now reached a point where it believes employees and ex-employees of the intelligence services can be covered by a duty of candour without compromising national security. Mr Burnham said the Hillsborough Law will put decency back at the heart of the British state, adding that it will be Sir Keir's legacy as PM.
