The irony of Cleverly and his name is almost painful

[virginsim]

Cooper was always top choice for this role. A politician very much on top of her brief. She will embarrass the Tories

[WarrenIrelandUK]

Cleverly getting exactly what he asked for. Proceeds to not pay attention.
Genius.

[williamfence]

14 years of frustration . Yvette's only just starting.

[puli]

love Yvette Cooper trying to get through it without bursting into tears of laughter

[mikkelclemmensen]

James Cleverly getting used to not being able to respond to questions in his usual way: "As the honorable lady is aware, there is an ongoing investigation into these matters and it simply wouldn't be appropriate for me to comment on them at this time..."

[jonaen]

The Tories have needed to hear this for a long time.

[TheContiGT]

Oh my god please lord let Cleverly become leader of the opposition.
Watching that clown getting torn up as toilet paper every week would be the most joyous thing we could possibly witness politically.
After Mogg getting booted, obviously.

This isn't Home Office Questions, it's a fucking roast 🤣

[michaelocyoung]

No-one should feel sorry for the Tories. Look at what Atkins and Bad Enoch Powell did last week. They need to be brought to heel. Cooper being OTT is necessary because anything less would let the Tories think their approach and behaviour was acceptable and accepted.

I love the laughter in her voice as she roasts him.

[cherylparker]

My anxiety and stress levels have plummetted since the Tories lost. I can listen now without nearly exploding. Adults in charge

[FoghornLeghorny]

I’m not 100% with Labour, but my god, it’s a relief to have adults back in charge.

[emmanuelibeh]

Honestly, this is Christmas come early. Yvette is a breath of fresh air

[HarkyOfficial]

I hope Labour continues in this manner. The Tory’s deserve this for atleast 14 years 😊

[seandonaghy]

I do wish Yvette would stop kicking the bat-shit so quickly out of Mr Cleverly. Hardly have we had time to register the latest kick to his backside when she is already in the process of swinging another boot at his nether region. That said, well done, Yvette . . . Keep kicking. You really kicked the smirk from his 'cheeks' and reduced him to a pile of - - - - .

[lokischildren]

This is going to be good its Yvette cooper

[chrisbos]

Yvette throwing so much shade the 🌞 is in total eclipse! 😅

[sarkybugger]

What a refreshing change. Nice to see the grown-ups back in charge, after all these years of crooks and liars.

[Martyboy_Glasgow]

What a force of nature she is. Sharp. Across her subject. Visibly pissed off at the damage those giant toddlers have done.
