Question Time at PMQs (answers not included)

let’s start off with David Cameron’s defence. The phrase Prime Minister’s Questions implies but does not specify answers.

Which might explain why Mr Cameron felt comfortable enough to read out a list of things he has previously done as an answer to a question on what has he not done.

Incredibly, people queued up to watch this, but if they want to save themselves time in future here’s a sneak preview of the next gripping session of prime ministerial accountability.

Next week, Ed Miliband will ask about the failing NHS and David Cameron will explain he’s got two pints of milk, potatoes and some jam to pick up on the way home.

The Labour leader will respond with a demand the PM answers the question about standards in the NHS, and Mr Cameron will tell him something about Wales and ask why there are no questions about the economy.

It has to be said, Mr Miliband is partly to blame. Who else could come to PMQs with the open door of failed immigration promises and still not win the debate?

Another masterclass from Miliband was how Dave put it. Perhaps some behind Mr Miliband would agree.

Feeling like he was let off easy, Mr Cameron taunted Labour MPs, asking for a show of hands over how many politicians would be putting pictures of Mr Miliband on their election leaflets.

Tory MPs loved it, with even chief whip Michael Gove joining in with back benchers and waving his hand.

Sadly for the Labour leader, ten of his own MPs were silly enough to bite, which is the sort endorsement you could do with out.

At the end of this rather pointless session, Labour’s Paul Flynn raised a point of order to say the last 30 minutes or so was the worst session of PMQs ever. It’s hard to argue with him.
