Anyone else enjoying the new Treasury Questions?

Seems the general abuse allowed to be dished out is higher than for PM Qs. Some very funny moments including refering to Milliband as a photocopying boy. Ace.

I'll have to look this up on iplayer later.

One of the questions to Osborn was along the lines of, "Is deregulation of the banks the worst thing the last government did, or do you have your eye on something else?" We then got a list of things, including selling the Gold, but that deregulation has cost us the most.

Caught some of it,quite entertaining.

I'd call it a draw so far between Osborne and Balls.

I also find it interesting how the Shadow Chancellor can argue his case so earnestly when his own Labour predecessors bankrupted the country! No shame.

Nah. Just a politician...

After all the Balls hype, he didn't land a glove on Osbourne.

I missed the last 45 minutes, but I didn't think Balls came close to winning the skirmish. Everything Balls said was scripted and poorly read, his jokes weren't very good and he lacked all credibility because he refused to even comment on his culpability (or otherwise) for the current mess.
