Yesterday saw Prime Minister May take to the dispatch box in the House of Commons to complete her first instalment of Prime Minister's Questions. Theresa May proved her ability to handle a sombre chamber during the Trident debate on Monday, but appeared to make quite an impression in the Commons on Wednesday as she took questions from Jeremy Corbyn and backbenchers.

The first video here is the session in full whilst the second one is just the back and forth between the Prime Minister and Jeremy Corbyn.
