Boris Johnson’s first PMQs has been dubbed over with the hilarious Romans scene from Monty Python in a tongue-in-cheek pop at the Prime Minister’s frosty sentiments towards the European Union.
In the sketch from Life of Brian, Francis puts it to his comrades that the Romans have never done anything of any worth.
