Vacuous PMQs was frustrating

A pretty poor show in the Commons today: Brown clumsily evasive, Cameron unable to cash in fully on blunders, most Labour questions even more obsequious than usual, while the Tory backbench clowned around and also missed an opportunity. All expected an absolute humiliation for Brown – but it never happened. Cameron would offer a damning report of the government, and Brown would tell his opponent, as he has many times: the Conservatives don’t want to talk policy, and only care about gossip. Repeat ad infinitum.

In this tit for tat PMQs you might just about call it for Cameron, but the PM's repeated ‘listing’ of Labour’s triumphs and Cameron’s sniping was rather nondescript, and only revealed a few humorous moments. Nick Clegg was the only one to try and drum up some debate - about education. Brown’s response: another list.
