As PMQs resumes following the Easter break, James O'Brien is joined by LBC's political editor Natasha Clark for the analysis.

'Keir Starmer has discovered his funny bones.'

'After a couple of weeks off that everyone is a bit more fired up.'

'It's clear Keir Starmer is enjoying being the leader of the Opposition, he enjoys these PMQs.'

'They are expecting to win the next election.'

'There is definitely more confidence and humanity coming from Keir Starmer now.'

'It does resonate with voters, 'you've said you want to cut national insurance and how are you going to fund it'.'

'We know that Labour want to fight on the issue of being credible on the economy.'

'It's a sort of preemptive manifesto undermining.'

'The PM is thinking 'the longer we leave it the more we can distance ourselves from Liz Truss'.'

'Both of them have had their Weetabix again.'

'The SNP are in a similar position to the Conservatives.'

'The things that Rishi Sunak wanted to highlight today, taxes, inflation is down...is it moving the polls Prime Minister? Of course it's not.'

'Despair is setting in, a lot of Cabinet ministers are realising that the dial is just not shifting.'

'If she is found to have broken some rules, they are taking a big gamble.'
