Look at Harriet at about 0:14, you can see her lip curl as she realizes how big a clanger Gordon's dropped!!

I for one could not bear to look at Browns face and horrible mannerisms for another 4 years.

Please England go out and vote for anyone other than Brown.

Your country needs you.

It is hilarious. How do the front benchers keep a straight face.

Are you sure there are any Speccie readers who would watch a video of Brown of their own free will?

If you'd put it on at cocktail hour, at least people could have had a couple of bracers and worked up the courage to click the arrow.

Not many nodding dogs on the government front bench this time.

Again, Brown is so low he could walk under a snake's belly in a top hat.

I particularly liked Bercow's smirk as he called for order. Subtext: let him dig himself in deeper, by all means.

So much for Brown's claim that he meant to say "0.7%" but was interrupted. Caught out lying yet again! Has the man no shame? There was a tremendous picture of lightning around the HoP yesterday - it's a pity divine retribution couldn't have been meted out there and then.

"Mr Zero Percent"?

Sounds like an approval rating to me!
