The Prime Minister was asked by the Labour leader about his plans for tax-free childcare but instead responded by poking fun at Labour for allegedly taking advise from the anti-austerity politician and former Greek finance minister.

Cameron said:

"I can announce to the House his [Corbyn's] latest economic adviser, one Mr Yanis Varoufakis. He was the Greek finance minister who left his economy in ruins. That is Labour's policy in two words: Acropolis Now.
