A very quiet exchange

PMQs today was dominated by the parties trying to get their lines out ahead of the voting on Thursday. David Cameron accused “Labour local authorities of playing politics with people’s jobs” and urged voters “not to let Labour do to your council, what they did to our country.” He received plenty of chances to make his local election case as Tory backbenchers served up one patsy question on councils after another.

Ed Miliband jibed that the coalition was no longer two parties working together in the national interest but “two parties threatening to sue each other in their own interest,” a reference to Huhne’s hyperbolic threat to sue over the No campaign’s claims.

The Lib Dems were oddly quiet today. There was only one question from a Lib Dem and that was a rather poorly constructed one on AV from Bob Russell.

All in all, it was a rather unilluminating session with, oddly, no questions on Pakistan or Bin Laden.
