It’s been 60 years of Coronation Street, Harrogate and Knaresborough MP Andrew Jones told the Prime Minister this afternoon. And it feels like spats over Brexit at the despatch box, reminiscent of the odd barney at the Rovers Return, have lasted almost as long.

There could probably be a large-scale psychological study on what the different backdrops MPs chose for the first virtual session of Parliament says about them.

Abracadabra! Alakazam! What a difference three years can make with just a little bit of hocus pocus. It was only in 2017 that Theresa May stood in front of hard-working nurses telling them “there is no magic money tree”. But in a Boris Johnson Government where 40 new hospitals can magically be turned into six and 31,000 new nurses multiply to 50,000 with a pinch of fairy dust.

“Well you might not like it but I’m going to read it,” supply teacher Jeremy Corbyn barked at MPs during Prime Minister’s Questions today. That may as well have been his catchphrase throughout the election, as he turned up at events and professed his manifesto promises, whether voters liked it or not.

Blinking in the sun and wiping the sleep away from his eyes the Prime Minister emerged today for his first appearance in public for 11 days, as the world burned, in some places quite literally, around him.
