Welcome to Coffee House’s live blog of PMQs. After Monday’s PBR, you can expect the economy to be the main topic of debate – with Cameron and Clegg trying to highlight the weasels and tax bombshells that Brown has in store for us. Things will kick off at 1200, so join us then.
1203: Here we go.
1204: First question from Sir Peter Tapsell: “Will the PM apologise to the public for wrecking the British economy?”
1205: Important point from Colin Burgon on money lenders targeting young people.
1206: Cameron now. “If the government doesn’t have a secret plan to raise VAT why did the Treasury Minister put his signature to it?” Brown talks about raises to VAT during the Tory governments in the 80s and 90s.
1208: Cameron says it’s “absolutely clear” that Lbour are planning a VAT bombshell. Says the Tories may put in FOI requests on the issue. Brown’s just denying all. “We’ve decided to cut VAT,” he says.
