Thought I'd organise a central thread, which can be resurrected weekly (if the lazy sods are sitting in Parliament).

This week - the Tories get stuck in to Brown:

Idiot - what his blinkered arrogance doesn't let him see that all the topics that need tackling would be dealt with better under a new government.

Crash Gordon obviously needs to be the target of the opposition - he will crack and I think it will be quite spectacular when he does. The sort of foaming at the mouth, muttering to himself while weeping under his desk type breakdown.

I think if you Wiki the phrase, 'be careful what you wish for', there's an image of Winky.

Only question is how much of the country will he drag down with him when he goes?

There's something left to drag down?

The best bits were someone mentioning flying printers, and also the online vote for Brown to resign

Stephen Crabb, referring to recent press reports about life inside Number 10, said:

"What do you intend to do about the important issue of bullying in the workplace, given the reliable reports of a senior Whitehall boss throwing mobile phones and printers and swearing at switchboard operators?"

The election battle lines were drawn today.

Incredibly, they think that "Tory Cuts" will work again.

The planted questions from the Labour questioneers (is that a word?) and Gordo's answers clearly show where they intend to fight.

As an aside, his continuation of the policy of "You should agree with me becasue we're in a crisis" is plainly ridiculous. I just don't think that the average person watches PMQ; lines such as these are aimed squarely at morons.

Nothing seems thought through in any sense right now in No10.

Watched this for about the second or third time yesterday, not a great one for following politics, but I like the way CMD gets stuck into the PM.

One thing I noticed is that when a point is made, or question asked, a lot of MPs in the house stand up. Is this to show agreement?

I believe they are trying to speak.

All a bit pointless as PMQ is essentially scripted.

It's pretty obvious now that the QC bit of her title is honorary. Painful.

Hague is so much more impressive than Cameron.
