Jeremy Corbyn appeared to struggle to look at newly-reelected Prime Minister Boris Johnson as the pair returned to Parliament for the first time since the general election. The Prime Minister and the leader of the Opposition led their MPs into the Commons ahead of their swearing-in and the vote to reconfirm Sir Lindsay Hoyle as Speaker of the House. Mr Johnson secured 365 seats out of the 650 available as the Labour leader saw his number collapse after losing 46 seats.

The leader of the Labour Party also appeared to rush ahead of the Prime Minister members of Parliament were asked to temporarily leave the Commons.

One person wrote on Twitter: “Boris Johnson and Jeremy Corbyn walk side by side to the House of Lords. Awkward.”

Another added: “Didn’t appear to be an enormous amount of chatter between Boris Johnson and Jeremy Corbyn.”

A third person said: “You see Corbyn talking to Blackford but ignoring Boris.”

Another went on the question: “Did I just see Corbyn shoulder barge Boris?”

As new MPs were sworn in, Mr Johnson was pictured beaming at them.

Prime Minister Johnson wasted no time hailing the House as the “best Parliament” the UK has seen.

Mr Johnson added it was a “vast improvement” on the last while addressing the new Speaker in a dig at former Speaker John Bercow.

The Prime Minister also paid tribute to the two victims of the London terror attack, with Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn echoing the Prime Minister’s sentiment.
