Over by Christmas

I am already looking forward to Wednesdays PMQs, unless Gordon gets a cold or has to go to a meeting somewhere because he is the new leader of the free world.

I hope that the Speaker continues with his improvement and tells the PM to actually answer the questions which are asked of him. It is not appropriate for the PM to keep referring to what the Tories may or may not do. It is not appropriate for planted questions from labour MPs referring to Tory policy. None of this guff about do you think that the country must pull together in this crisis and do you think that the Shadow Chancellor was right to talk the economy down, what with sterling having fallen/risen/stayed the same since Osbornes announcement.

Furthermore, David Cameron is absolutely right when he says that the PM never answers the question.

For example, I would ask, if the pound was valued at about 2 dollars to the pound in July and now it is 1.45 dollars to the pound was that fall precipitated by the announcement from George Osborne on Friday or was it the result of Alistair Darling and his 'Pissed Off' reference. You can't make it up, that is unless the standard of education in this country has been appallingly worse over the last sixty years rather than only the last ten. We are just so doomed.

Finally, can the PM not read out the names of the dead, when did this convention actually start, imagine Lloyd George at the beginning of the Somme, only another 15,000 names to go. It will be over by christmas, bit like not having to fire any bullets!
