Boris Johnson was treated to a hero's welcome by his new MPs this afternoon as he hailed the new Parliament as "one of the best" ever produced.

Cheers and applause rang around the chamber as the PM strode through the Commons for the first time since the election.

Addressing the new Speaker Lindsay Hoyle, Boris said: "I don’t know what you think but I mean absolutely no disrespect to those who are no longer with us but I think this parliament is a vast improvement on its predecessor."

He added: "Because this parliament is not going to waste the time of the nation in deadlock, and division and delay.

"We are going to get Brexit done and even your parrot Mr Speaker would have been able to cite that one by now."

Following the PM, a stonyfaced Jeremy Corbyn paid tribute to the MPs that had lost their seats due to his calamitous campaign.
