So its the last Prime Minister's Questions today, before the election and (hopefully)a new PM.
I expect we'll get even less 'actual' information than we do normally, however there might be fewer brown-nosing questions as all three party leaders use the time to campaign. soapbox


I would like to see the Conservatives to really throw some BIG punches and, more importantly, keep the jeering to a more mature level.

So what else can we expect.......

I think Cameron only gets six questions? Which means that Brown always gets the final say.

Expect childish laughter, paper waving, jeering and general school behavior.

What is happening with this digital economy bill, are they still trying to get it through on the sly. It's amazing how labour are able to keep up the corruption so close to the election.

It is one of the bills in what is called the 'wash up' - it is expected to pass, with qualified support from the Tories - they are either very stupid indeed or complicit in this disgrace.

1. Yet more dead in Afghanistan
2. Planted question by backbencher related to Ashcroft
3. Boorish response from PM including reference to any two of; Ashcroft, Global Economic Downturn, We Are Helping Ordinary People, or No Tory Policies On Anything
4. Question from DC, blisfully dismissed by PM due to No Tory Policies On Anything
5. Repeat 2-4 for 15 minutes
6. Repeat 1-3 only with Nick Clegg plus a load of Tory backbenchers heckling about Michael Brown

I'd like to see him go in dressed in a similar manner to Gene Hunt for it, would be some great publicity.

I would love Cameron to pledge to release the 'real' figures for stuff like unemployment etc... when they get their mitts on the paperwork.

They want to add to the employers NI contribution - basically, you employ someone during these tight times you get heavily penalised for it. Stifles SME's that are already running close to the bone but want to increase their workforce.

Also ironic that it hits private and public sectors hard regardless.
