Regretting spending my lunch break listening in to PMQs. Surely the point of this particular pantomime is to get the Prime Minister to answer questions. When this is attempted, the responses usually take the form of, “You mentioned the NHS? Well, here’s a barrage of statistics about how great the NHS is under my mighty rule!”

Today? Today this pretence of answering questions was utterly abandoned. Brown’s responses to Cameron were pure attack – ranting about Tory policies and plans, rebuking Cameron with the PMQ’s equivalent of “Oh yeah? Well YOU SMELL.”

Controversial, I know, but shouldn’t the speaker have the authority to slap Brown a bit for this? Isn’t that his job?
