One of the great mysteries of modern politics is how the leader of the Labour Party manages to smuggle a sharp pointy stick past Commons security every week to poke the Prime Minister. Ed produced it with his usual flourish just after noon today and proceeded to chase Dave around the dispatch box for the 30 minutes of the fun known to regulars as Prime Minister’s Questions.
We all know the PM has been in the doldrums since the Chancellor produced THAT budget six months ago, but each week he hopes to recover. In fact, so good, relatively speaking, were last week’s economic indicators that he had high hopes this would be his week. But such is the disarray within Tory ranks the every time he thinks he’s about to climb out of the smelly stuff one of his own pulls him back in again.
