PMQs: The key moments

Tina

Nick Clegg should henceforth be known as Cameron's little helper. Well done Cleggover!

My God. Brown was just aweful. It no longer gives the pleasure of revenge because it is a personal tragedy we're looking at. He looks and sounds unconvinced - scared even, and the there's Mr Straw at his side like Albert Pierrepoint listening to the condemned man explaining how its all societies fault!

It just cant go on can it?

"The only thing in Downing Street with a spine, is his book on Courage"

Priceless! :O)

Dave running rings around the hapless Gordon.........again!

I do hope that the people of Glasgow East do something altruistic for once in their lives and refrain from voting Labour, because that's what they're told to do.....by Labour.

They should show some 'spine' and vote SNP tactically, to get rid of Labour once and for all.

Harman's body language says it all....She looked like she was hating every moment

Does anyone believe a word Brown says anymore??

Does he even believe what he is saying??

TomTom

Brown is in denial. Does he not realise that just because you repeat a lie over and over again it doesn't make it true!

When people hear PMQ's on the news and Brown saying employment is at its highest ever and inflation is low etc etc, it makes them even angrier. What ordinary people are experiencing is exactly the opposite and Brown is just adding insult to injury. Why doesn't someone advise him not to say such things on a day when we are told things are getting very serious, inflation is sky high and rising and unemployment has risen at its fastest rate since 1993. Clegg is right for once he is so out of touch now it is unbearable to watch.

***The only thing in Downing Street with a spine, is his book on Courage***

Was it George Osborne who said in the Commons last year that Brown's name may appear on the cover of a book about courage but it'll never appear in the index?

I love that thunderous look on Brown's face after he's answered Cameron's last question. Just like a kid who's been told to put the biscuit barrel away.

And why does Harridan always wear a jacket that looks reptilian?

Nicholas

And yet on the DP they passed this off as dull. It made me wonder if Nick Robinson had actually watched the same PMQs as I had. I thought Brown was particularly terrible today, at times visibly shaking with emotion, angrily belligerent and as usual never actually answering DC's questions.

Des, UK

The way it's going the only boast Brown will be able to make is that inflation is lower here than in Zimbabwe!

Travis Bickle

How can any party in opposition repeatedly be accused of "ducking" the big decisions????

That's a bit like saying the milkman is to blame for the postman failing to deliver a letter.

dave, surrey

this gem from BBC's point by point coverage:

'1210: Labour's John McDonnell, who fought Mr Brown for the party leadership'

Orwellian rewriting of history.. or did I miss the leadership election campaigns, hustings, debates etc..

Hysteria

Truly awful to watch. Telling to watch the body language and facial expressions on the front bench when GB is in full-flow - eyes avoided, arms crossed - some cheering support at the peroration, but they know the game is up.

The only hope I can see is for 40 days and nights of rain: heavy rain.

HJ

Is it just me who noticed that Brown, in his last 'answer' to Clegg, claimed that 22m people would receive a £120 tax cut over the next few months.

Is he referring to the 'compensation package' for those who missed out because of the doubling of the 10p tax band and who are only being partially compensated for what he took away? Are they meant to feel grateful for this 'help'?

DM

The Great Leader was truly truly awful. Darling and Harman could not even look at him.
