From The Guardian:

PMQs - Snap verdict: The good news for Corbyn is that PMQs, while entertaining theatre, which has a lot of influence on the standing of leaders with their MPs, and some impact on the way parties and leaders are perceived by the public, it is not ultimately decisive. Just ask William Hague. This ought to be a consolation because, on a day when May has just had to execute the biggest U-turn of her prime ministerial career, at considerable cost to the government’s reputation for economic competence, Corbyn failed dismally to exploit this at the despatch box. He had clearly prepared a set of questions about education and was not quick-witted enough to abandon them and instead devote all six questions to the NICs U-turn, as he should have done. A better leader would have taunted her with a series of questions about why she defended the policy last week. Or at least produce an effective soundbite, as Angus Robertson did. Instead, even when Corbyn was commenting on NICs, he got diverted into the abuse of self-employment by employers - an important topic, but one where May has a case, because of the Taylor review.
