Cameron tears into Brown’s lies

Cameron kicked off on the 10 percent issue. “Some Labour MPs were a bit confused when they were told about 10 percent: they thought it meant his opinion poll ratings.” The gag went down well, and Cameron picked up where he left off with those spending totals that Brown read out in PMQs last week. They spelled out a real terms cut – though Cameron wasn’t to know at the time (the figures were brand new and, suspiciously, cut out of the Treasury documents* perhaps when they realised that they spelled a cut).  But he certainly did this time, and kept asking Brown whether there are real terms cuts in the Budget.

“I relish the chance to debate for once policy” said Brown – I very much doubt he does. He’s been exposed as a liar. What will he do? Interestingly, Brown shifts as what the Tories “would” do if they were in power now.
