A mixed performance from Gordon Brown at PMQs today. He has clearly listened to my advice to lay off “I think people will…” and “I’m not going to take any lessons”. Sadly he hasn’t got to grips with the stutter. I hope the Hansard stenographers d-d-d-d-d-don’t leave them in.
Less impressive was his parting shot at Cameron, “As for competence I remind him, I remind him, that in 1992 he sat there when interest rates went to 15%…….”
What was David Cameron, who at the time was not even an MP, doing sat on what were then, the Labour benches?
On the first and 3 subsequent hearings of Vince Cables “Stalin to Mr Bean” joke, I am convinced that he got the gag wrong and actually said Mr Beam. Not to worry, he won’t have been the first Lib Dem leader to appear at PMQs with lunch on his mind.
