Rolling coverage of the day’s political developments as they happen * PMQs - Snap verdict * PMQs - Verdict from the Twitter commentariat 1.29pm BST This is from the Sun’s STEVE HAWKES. Tories clearly been told to push the old Greece analogy today. Liz Truss has mentioned it three times, PM once, Damian Green once 1.21pm BST This is what political journalists and commentators are saying about PMQs. Jeremy Corbyn and Theresa May both made a positive impression. .@jeremycorbyn has been transformed by the election: he speaks with an authority few thought he would ever have at dispatch box #PMQs OK, fair cop, I am going soft.
