BORIS JOHNSON’S debut Prime Minister’s questions (PMQs) moved between farce and attrition yesterday as he resorted to childish jibes while also being labelled “racist.”

The PM was called on by Labour MP Tanmanjeet Singh Dhesi to apologise for his infamous Telegraph column from 2018, which described women who wear the burqa as looking like “letterboxes” and “bank robbers.”

MPs gave a rare round of applause in the chamber as Mr Dhesi said: “For those of us who from a young age have had to endure and face up to being called ‘towel head’ or ‘Taliban’ or coming from ‘bongo-bongo land,’ we can appreciate full well the hurt and pain felt by already vulnerable Muslim women when they are described as looking like ‘bank robbers’ and ‘letterboxes’.”
