A workmanlike session as Dowden stands in for Sunak again
His biggest reaction comes after quoting Sir Keir Starmer's reported comment this week that he"hates tree huggers", claiming that the party leader seems to be"very keen on hugging the magic money tree". Mr Dowden seems to rouse himself for one final fightback in questioning how long Ms Rayner will even be in the job given the talk of a summer Labour reshuffle.
Pete Wishart brings up the situation regarding children's murals which were painted over at a migrant processing centre in Kent. He describes this as"stopping the vile people smuggling trade across the Channel, condemning women and children to death.Mr Dowden says the Scottish National Party"shamefully" voted against it 18 times in the Commons last night.Mhairi Black, the SNP's deputy Westminster leader, is now up in the Commons.
"Our NHS workforce plan is investing an extra £2.4bn into training and retaining crucial NHS staff, including dentists and GPs" Oliver Dowden replies. Mr Dowden grumpily replies that she clearly wasn't listening when he explained the PM is at NATO, with a swipe at Jeremy Corbyn's anti-NATO, anti-army position. He's stronger hitting back on home ownership - saying he won't take any lectures on house building from Labour, and claiming his own parents were only able to buy their own home thanks to Margaret Thatcher.
Oliver Dowden responds by saying:"I know there is a reshuffle coming up on the other side but this audition for John Prescott's old job is getting just a little bit hackneyed." "But under the Tories, the number of homeless children has risen by 75%. I'm proud of our record on tackling child poverty."In response, Mr Dowden says the government has lifted 400,000 children out of child poverty."That is the surest way to ensure we lift people out of poverty," he says.She tells Mr Dowden to be careful about the stats he uses.
She starts by pointing out the last time a prime minister missed two PMQs in a row was in March 1996.
