Angela Rayner and Dominic Raab traded furious insults at the dispatch box today as they stood in for their party leaders at Prime Minister's Questions.
Labour's Rayner took aim at bullying allegation against the Deputy Prime Minister as she attacked the Government's anti-social behaviour clampdown.
Facing the DPM while Rishi Sunak and Sir Keir Starmer were at the funeral of former Speaker Baroness Boothroyd she stared him down and asked: 'He knows about thugs with their intimidating behaviour … does he think more bullies will be brought to justice?'
But her attack straight out of the blocks at the midweek showpiece was met flat on by Mr Raab, who referenced a gaffe by the opposition deputy leader when he retorted: 'I can assure the House I've never called anyone ''Scum''.'

Ms Rayner faced a backlash in 2021 after reportedly describing the Tories as 'racist, homophobic, scum' during an event for Labour activists from northwest England at the party conference in Brighton.
Mr Raab is currently the subject of an investigation into complaints made about his treatment of his staff.
