I'm sure you've seen the article here.

I feel it's a reason rather than excuse but for him to state it seems, for want of a better word: lame.

Bless him, it was disgraceful of DC to have treated him so roughly in his first PMQ, DC should have known better and must be punished! Mummy Darling should have put a note in Gordon's lunchbox to give to Speaker insisting that the other boys and girls treat him gently - he's a delicate little bunny and needs to be looked after!

Nasty DC!!!

... was the patronising tone of your post directed to me at all Vespasian? Because I certainly wasn't insinuating anything you just said. I actually think it was a poor choice of words, and a bad move for Brown.

It was a very poor choice of words - and the delivery was pathetic. LoL

Brown sounded like a crying schoolboy. boohoo boohoo

Canvas I absolutly love your emoticons... and the one above absolutely hits the spot.

Brown Blearghhhhhhhhh!!!

Have no fear sweet cheeks I only have eyes and knives for Gordy!

Votedave

Surely he should have said.

I have been in the job only .........

Numeracy and literacy?????

Brown should play well in Scotland after todays PMQs, after all they like things battered up there.

Good on DC, nice to see him rough the smug bugger up a bit. I particularly loved the part where GB was stuttering and stammering, I thought he'd actually pissed himself at one point. Best politics has been in ages, really enjoyable. Roll on the election campaign, a real mismatch in the public speaking front, I think that GB can't think decisively on his feet.

Been kicking around some campaign slogans, what do you reckon "Vote Cameron, or end up in the Brown stuff".

He actually said - don't forget I've been in this job just five days...


boohoo boohoo LoL

It just proves that, yes, you can be a clever cookie - but if you're inarticulate - or find it hard to express yourself - then David Cameron will eat you for breakfast! :)

Thanks Canvas
I was just going by what was reported here. Seems I have missed a great show. I was too busy analysing the biased reports on which the Butterwick /Walkway windfarms were approved. "Brown and the Cash Cow" I posted some time ago on this site,I think , but cannot find it. I do have a copy so may repost as it is even more relevant now.

Please stop those hilarious and apt emoticons as when I see those I just cannot be serious or angry!. On second thoughts it would not be you without them and I love then really !

legally he had been in the job for 7 days, but he was effectively the PM-elect from the minute the deadline for nominations in the Labour election contest passed. He has had what 6 weeks to prepare for the job - more than any PM will ever get (win an election, next morning visit the palace, metophorically kiss her maj's hand and bam your PM) , hence the reason he has been able to lead with so many policy announcements so quickly.

I know that GB is a fan of using message calendars and a grid based system for making policy announcements. Just thinking of how badly he did at thinking on his feet during PMQs wouldn't it be great to see DC hijacking GB's calendar and pre-empting his policy announcements with Conservative one's; just think what it would do to a control freak like Brown.

Didn't he have an understudy post for ten years?
Today my local paper has a report by Merrick (Parliamentary Correspondent)

The clunking fist fails to lay a glove on Cameron
Now thats reporting!
He also quotes Brown "I have only been in the job for 5 days"
