First blood to Cameron

Cameron is at his derisive, aggressive best. Everything Brown says is being greeted with hoots of derision. 

Brown’s “I will take no lectures” was weak to the point of being helpless. It looks, feels and sounds like he is taking a spanking. Labour faces are ashen, as Brown attempts to defend himself by reeling off statistics.

The cheer from the Tories after Cameron called for “the past to make way to the future” was perhaps the loudest I have heard in this chamber. You can almost see the power shifting.
