Hello and welcome to Coffee House Shots, the Spectator's Daily Politics Podcast.

I'm Oscar Robinson, and I'm joined today by Tim Shipman and Isabel Hardman.

Now, we've just had PMQs, first PMQs back in the new year, lots of excitement to unpack.

Tim, what were your main takeaways? It seemed like KeaSan was quite agitated at points today. Yeah, I mean, I think that was almost my main takeaway. He seemed really narked about everything. He kept sort of criticising the questions, which is always a sign that he doesn't really want to give an answer. Oh, that was so terrible. Oh, that was ridiculous, he said at one point later on, you know, as he did, and as went off on another tangent that he wasn't, didn't welcome. I mean, look, it's always difficult in a week when there's been huge international events because the leader of the opposition always feels sort of morally obliged to ask about them. And Badernock tried to pin Stama down a little bit by saying, well, hang on a minute, all this stuff's been happening. And you haven't come to the House of Commons and made a statement. She was sort of mocking some of his efforts with Ukraine and trying to dirl down into, you've committed British troops, but what does that actually mean? What would the mission be? Would they be combat troops? What's it all about? And there's serious doubts that,

frankly, we've got the capacity to be able to do this. And the coalition of the willing looks

like a coalition of Britain and France at the moment. So she was sort of teasing that out.

Then there was a sort of weird exchange over whose attorney general was more respectable

than the other, a sort of attorney general off. And she was sort of criticising Lord Herma for his many perceived crimes.

And Starmo was hitting back saying, well, this fellow is defending Bramovich

and we're trying to take money off him.

So how dare she criticises over Ukraine?

So it sort of went round and rounded circles.

I mean, I think almost the most interesting point really was she teased him about the fact that he hasn't yet spoken to Donald Trump about Venezuela, about Greenland and about all these things happening.

So really it was an attempt by Badenock to sort of embarrass Stama a bit about the fact that there's a lot of big events going on and he's not really in the middle of them.

But Stama, rather than sort of providing any meaningful substantive responses to that just seem to get very very upset about everything

and in the in the interview he did with laura coonsberg which is sort of his first task back from

the christmas break he looked a lot more relaxed and sort of sanguine about things than he had before

christmas when he was very head-up about almost everything.

And it feels like he's probably sitting in number 10 now thinking the Christmas break was a very

long time ago because he seems a very head-up about everything all over again.

Yeah, Isabel, should we read Keir Stama as being irked by the line of questioning from Kemi-Badenok,

or is he irked by the fact that he is never
