Sir Keir Starmer takes part in his final session of Prime Minister’s Questions in the House of Commons, with multiple outlets describing a mix of light-hearted joking and personal tributes. Reports say Starmer uses the moment to acknowledge his own departure and engages in self-referential humour while at the despatch box. The exchanges include remarks that play on his remarks and role as Prime Minister, framed by World Cup-related jokes, according to one account. Another outlet highlights that Starmer is able to “mock self” during the session, suggesting he remains in control of the tone throughout the proceedings. In addition to the banter, coverage emphasizes the emotional side of the occasion, with tributes accompanying the final PMQs. The combination of humour and acknowledgment from colleagues is presented as characteristic of a leader’s farewell appearance in a routine parliamentary arena. Both sources portray the session as a notable end-of-tenure moment, marked by good-natured commentary and acknowledgements from members in the chamber.
