PMQ's - 13 May 09
Discussion
I thought maybe we could have a running commentary on today's PMQ's as it could be quite interesting (there is a PMQ today, right? Gordon hasn't wormed his way out of it has he?)
For those of us with no TV access, anyone have any streaming links?
I found this: http://www.number10.gov.uk/Page306 but don't know how reliable it is.

I think they show it on BBC iplayer. Parliament channel and BBC1 and News I think.
Should be a good one today.
I'm just intruiged as to how GB will frame his answers, taking into account the need to say "before 1997" at every turn.
There will be lots of Labour references to Swimming pools and moats though
As an aside, did anyone else watch Newsnight last night and find it odd that they mentioned, straight after the expenses section, the repossessed house valued at 2.5 mil£. I did, until I heard the presenter specifically mention that it had a tennis court and swimming pool. The whole thing seemed to be shown to imply that Tories live in multi million pound houses. >>tinfoil hat off<<

Never mind Newsnight Tory bashing pools and moats.
Did anyone clock Paxo referring to Norman Tebbit as a weasel.
He actually stuck a few more defamatory words in as well but I can't remember them.
It was blatant bias, in yer face, no attempt to 'balance' (like the BBC even tries to bother anymore) a viewpoint.
Very naughty and I hope he gets b
ked for it.

Eh?
How did you quote someone that poasted after you?
Anyway - from what I can gather from the BBC text is that CMD is putting forward specific ideas and Brown is just spouting sound bites such as 'trying to build a consensus on change, which is the "way forward'.
Wierd....it was there before I quoted it.....odd huh?How did you quote someone that poasted after you?

You are right with regard to the soundbited.
Cameron is playing a clever game here. Labour needs these allowances as their party cannot afford to replace them.
I was expecting a bit more anger though to be honest. Very statesman-like though, which is a good image to project.

I agree wit htyhe fella on the Beeb site that said - Gordon Brown seems to think that continually repeating the phrase "radical proposals" equates to providing the country leadership. It doesn't.
