All eyes are on Parliament today as everyone eagerly awaits George Osborne's yearly budget, but first we have to sit through the weekly rowdiness of Prime Minister's Questions - so let's take a look at what happened at PMQs today, cutting out all the rubbish bits.

George Osborne was giggling while Jeremy Corbyn asked about air pollution:

Gideon can't stop laughing ! Must be the thought of taking money off the disabled #PMQs

The Tories started off by fluffing themselves on today's positive employment figures:

David Cameron highlights fall in unemployment in West Midlands, says the #midlandsengine is working #PMQs

— Jonathan Walker (@jonwalker121) March 16, 2016

Unemployment is down as @Mike_Fabricant keeps several wig makers in business alone! #PMQs

JEREMY CORBYN GOT A NEW SUIT.

Smart suit and tie done up today for Corbyn... Cameron's mother's sartorial preferences more influential than expected. #PMQs

Jezza had a quip on hand harking back to the days when Cameron ran on a green iniative:

"No husky was safe from his cuddles" must be one of the weirder Parliamentary putdowns in history. #PMQs

There was yet another new buzzword flying about, joining the "northern powerhouse" as one of the most annoying phrases ever uttered in Parliament.

Hello Midlands engine #PMQs

Angus Robertson asked about stability in Syria, David Cameron started talking about Ireland:

Cameron practically started a Twitter civil war between Manchester and Birmingham:

Great moment of comedy there as Cameron describes Birmingham as UK's second city

It is Manchester. That is the end of the discussion #PMQs

Ranil Jayawardena tried to coin a new term for Isis:

Tory MP tells Commons he calls Daesh the "Satanic state" #PMQs

— Jonathan Walker (@jonwalker121) March 16, 2016

Corbyn's new suit prompted a "The Dress" moment:

Let's not lose sight of the real question today. Is Jeremy Corbyn's tie RED or ORANGE? #PMQs pic.twitter.com/q5qYG2aHgr

— Mark Sands (@MkSands) March 16, 2016

But the more interesting point of Jeremy's new suit - he was wearing a blue jacket with black trousers!

** BREAKING NEWS **

Corbyn MAY be wearing black trousers & blue jacket AND NOT A SUIT (seeking confirmation) #pmqs pic.twitter.com/EACPRVjINn

There was a sighting of an endangered species...

For once, Farron is dead right.
We owe a massive obligation to our Afghan ex-interpreters in view of the danger they especially face.#PMQs

And this happened...
