PMQ sketch 24th February – Yo momma is so fat we cut £30 off her disability benefits

By Joe Mellor, Deputy Editor Your mum jokes are funny, cruel, but funny, however when the two leaders of the main British political parties descend into a “your mum” slanging match during PMQs, you do wonder that it’s a matter of when, not if, the human race destroys itself.

Earlier this week, Johnson’s father Stanley declared on BBC Radio 4’s Today programme that his son’s decision to back back British exit from the...
