Shadow Commons leader Jesse Norman has described the Government’s plan for change as a “fine, fat Herefordshire beef cow” due to it being “full of nutrition but with a certain amount of unnecessary flatulence”.

Leader of the House of Commons Lucy Powell said Mr Norman’s criticisms were “strange and confused” as she encouraged him to “work on his Christmas jokes”.
