THERE was a festive feel to the final showdown of the year between the PM and Jeremy Corbyn, and from the holes on the green benches, it seems plenty of MPs are already in the holiday mood.

Straight out of the blocks Labour’s Peter Dowd got them sniggerring by asking if the PM regretted “pencilling FO next” to Boris Johnson’s name, rather than offering it an instruction after his “chronic foot and mouth disease”.

But Mrs May had a Christmas cracker of her own.

An unscripted PM hit back claiming BoJo is a “FFS - a Fine Foreign Secretary”, even after his boozy barb last night about her wearing Lederhosen.

Any other three letter acronym she had in mind, was completely coincidental.

Eagle eyed Twitter users quickly pointed out that this was not even the first FFS dropped at PMQs - David Cameron used it in June 2015 to hammer Labour’s FFS: full fiscal shambles.”

As Aleppo burns, our MPs speak in riddles and code.

Who could forgive voters looking at this and simply asking WTF?
