Conservative MP Philip Davies says that recent events have proven that the idea that overseas aid keeps this country safe "is absolute nonsense".

The MP says this aid does not make us look compassionate to the public, "it makes us look idiotic".

He asks Mrs May to promise to slash the overseas aid budget and spend it in the UK, adding that he hopes she doesn't have an aversion to pursuing policies that are popular with the public.

The prime minister responds that she believes it is important given the state of our economy and our position in the world that we can help millions of people around the world - particularly girls.

The executive editor of Conservative Home points out:

Labour MPs are all sporting identical badges in the Commons. As the Burnley MP explains below, they are part of a campaign against the public sector pay cap.

Tory MPs are in noisy form - they cheer a question about trade deals, as Mrs May claims the only deals Jeremy Corbyn wants are with "Venezuela, Cuba and North Korea".

And they drown out SNP MP Marion Fellowes' question about VAT payments and the police service in Scotland.

Glastonbury now - and what Jeremy Corbyn allegedly said to the festival's founder Michael Eavis about scrapping Trident.

An easy win for Mrs May, courtesy of newly elected Tory MP for Aldershott Joe Docherty.

She debuts a new attack line on Mr Corbyn, as you can see for yourself in the tweet below...

Theresa May insists she has "protected counter-terrorism policing" but insists it is not just about funding but also making sure police have the powers they need, she says, after a question from a Labour backbencher.

Labour's Jo Stevens asks when there will be a clampdown on fixed-odds betting terminals - a long running issue.

Mrs May says a consultation has taken place and an announcement will be made in due course.

She then gets a supportive question from Suella Fernandes, new Tory MP for Fareham, allowing her to trumpet the fact that she got more votes and seats at the general election.

Labour's Kevin Brennan asks why the DUP are still getting Short Money - the cash paid to opposition parties to help them fund research - when they are no longer in opposition.

"No pay rise for the nurses, but 'double bubble' for her friends in the DUP," he says.

Mrs May explains why she had to do a deal with the DUP, which she says was the "right thing to do".

Labour backbenchers appear to have been given the job of quizzing the PM on the DUP deal and austerity, after Jeremy Corbyn used his questions on fire safety.

Labour's Ian Lucas welcomes Mrs May's U-turn on the "dementia tax" and urges her to reverse cuts to police budgets.

Mrs May - repeating the line Chris Grayling used on the Daily Politics - says "we are protecting police budgets". She says it is not about the number of police on the streets and crime is falling.

Ian Blackford is drowned out in jeers from MPs, as he says the Scottish secretary's position is looking increasingly untenable over the DUP deal. He asks again if there were any representations from the minister.

Mrs May says that if the SNP had the interests of Scottish people at heart they would want to remain part of the UK.

Ian Blackford, who has replaced Angus Robertson as the SNP's leader at Westminster, asks his first question in his new role.

He wants to know if the Scottish Secretary was consulted about the DUP deal, which will see a billion pounds going to Northern Ireland.

Mrs May says the SNP did not complain when more money was given to Scotland.

Jeremy Corbyn claims that the Grenfell Tower tragedy is a result of austerity.

"We all pay a price," says Jeremy Corbyn, "when you cut local authority budgets by 40%".

"What the tragedy of Grenfell Tower has exposed is the disastrous effects of austerity," he says.

He accuses Mrs May of "disregard" for working class people.

Mrs May says "the cladding of tower blocks began" not under the current government or the previous coalition government, but, she says, "under the Blair government". She highlights deregulation that took place under governments of all colours.

Some forensic questioning from Jeremy Corbyn on fire safety and previous recommendations on building regulations, as MPs listen in near silence.

Theresa May says the questions go much wider than that - it is not the laws that are to blame but how they are applied. Why do the regulations appear to have been ignored, she says.
