My take on PMQs

Just a few thoughts and in no particular order:

  • Really liked David Cameron's first set of questions, businesslike and serious, definitely the right tone to set
  • Does Nick Clegg have a new hair cut or is that just me? Not an important question I know, but I can't quite work it out. His questions about Chilcot were spot on, Gordon really chickened out on answering it but then what do we expect?
  • Cameron's second set of questions really rattled Brown, the cheap jokes about photos didn't really manage to hide that, particularly given the way Cameron masterfully turned it around. Only real concern is Gordon doing so badly that expectations are lowered to a position where him not massively screwing up (unlikely I know) is seen as a success.
  • A very aggressive tone for the last question from Cameron, and about time, once in a while Brown needs to be knocked for 6 to remind everyone of why he shouldn't be leading this country. Rattled doesn't even begin to describe it.

All in all, not a good day for Gordon and really quite a good day for Cameron and Clegg. Can't wait for the TV debates...
