Asked if Boris Johnson will ever be able to escape criticism for controversial or unwise comments he has made in the past, BBC political editor Laura Kuenssberg says it's certainly "extremely difficult".

"He himself is aware of that.

"The truth is Boris Johnson, alongside being a politician, has been a columnist who has made a coin by being provocative.

"It was his job to be so, but he has offended a lot of people in the process.

"Of course, some of his comments have had real life consequences too - such as the case of Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe.

"And it's because of this that many Tory Party members, who do love the cheerleader aspect of Boris Johnson, also have grave reservations about him."

Labour's Paul Williams says his local police force - Cleveland Police - has seen funding cuts and crime in the area is rising.

Presumably referencing leadership contender Sajid Javid's pledge to boost police numbers, he says the home secretary has "admitted" police numbers are too low.

Theresa May replies that the government has pledged an extra £1bn a year for the police, including extra money for Cleveland.

(It should be pointed out that this funding figure includes an increase the police could get if local authorities choose to raise the amount of council tax that goes to policing).

SNP MP Deidre Brock asks Mrs May whether "her creation of the hostile environment" - that's an immigration policy designed to crack down on those not legally entitled to be in the country - led to the Windrush scandal and errors in immigration decisions.

"Will she apologise?" she says.

Mrs May replies that the country will mark Windrush Day on 22 June.

"What lay behind the issue to the problems some members of the Windrush generation have faced was they were not given documentary evidence of their status when they arrived," the PM adds.

Labour MP Virendra Sharma accuses the outgoing PM of having adopted "racist", "unjust" and "discriminatory" immigration policies in her time in office.

In reply, Theresa May says government action taken against illegal immigration since 2010 was made to give people "confidence" in the system.

Tory MP Ken Clarke asks whether Mrs May considers it "extremely unwise" for candidates in the leadership contest - and indeed the government itself - to start making "reckless commitments to tax cuts and spending promises".

We've already had promises to cut taxes for both higher and lower earners, and a commitment to scrap VAT - as well as offers to plough far more into public services - from those vying to get into Number 10.

The outgoing prime minister has also made spending pledges in these final weeks - and there are reports she plans to do even more shortly on education.

Mrs May says the Conservative government has seen the decline of debt and the deficit down.

"We are able to ensure more money into public services," she says.

"I can assure my Right Honourable Friend in my time as prime minister we will not make reckless commitments but we want to ensure public services are supported."

After the Blackford furore, Mrs May is asked about the availability of cannabis oil for people who have health conditions.

She says the government did look at the issues and says individual cases are "desperately difficult".

She says they have ensured the law has changed so that doctors can prescribe it if there is "clinical evidence".

The SNP's Westminster leader Ian Blackford launches a full-throated attack on Boris Johnson.

He says he previously said Scottish people were not fit to be prime minister and goes on to call him "racist", saying he is guilty of having stoked "division" and is someone with a "record of dishonesty".

Speaker John Bercow asks him to withdraw his allegation of racism - but Mr Blackford doubles down, quoting previous Mr Johnson comments, notably on Muslim women.

"If that's not racist Mr Speaker, I don't know what is", he says.

There is uproar in the chamber from Conservative MPs angry at the remarks.

The prime minister says Mr Blackford should be using the current session to question the government over its policies.

Just in case she needed any reminder that her days as prime minister are coming to an end, Theresa May is accompanied on the front bench by at least two leadership candidates.

Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt can be seen behind her right shoulder. Rory Stewart sits further down the bench apparently on his phone - possibly trying to drum up some last-minute support before the next vote.

However, Mr Stewart appears to be showing more attention just a few moments later.
