A classic interchange paraphrased:

Nick Clegg: “Here’s this bad thing that’s happening. What are you going to do about it?”

Brown: “There’s a bad thing happening. I think it’s bad.”

Nick Clegg: “Er, no, what *exactly* are you going to do?”

Brown: “Here’s something not quite related to what you’re talking about that I once said”

Brown gets paid money for this. Actual hard cash.
