| Shadow Chancellor throws the Little Red Book across the Despatch Box to George Osborne in bizarre twist to Spending Review
Speaker John Bercow was forced to intervene over howls of delight from the Tory benches.
The Labour shadow chancellor mocked the Chancellor - who he dubbed "Comrade Osborne" - for encouraging China to invest in British infrastructure projects. He is thought to be first frontbencher ever to reveal a copy and quote directly from the communist book. After joking about the sale of public assets to the Chinese government, Mr McDonnell said: "To assist Comrade Osborne about dealing with his new found comrades, I have brought him along Mao's Little Red Book."
