10 PMQs Jokes That Were Nearly As Bad As David Cameron's 'Loving Engels' Quip

PMQs Jokes: The Good And The Bad

PMQs this week were - quite frankly - dire.

Miliband used the words "hashtag" and "crap".

Michael Fabricant wore a giant fake moustache.

And, of course, there were awful jokes.

Today's was particularly bad.

Citing Ed Miliband's recent appearance on BBC Radio 4's Desert Island Discs, the prime minister said: "It's fair to say he's no longer a follower of Marx, he's loving Engels instead."

Here's a brief collection of other PMQ gems...
