Another victory for Cameron at PMQs

Another good show from Cameron and dismal one from Brown. Perhaps I’m growing too sensitised to this, but his half-truths and (in this case) outright lies really jump out at me. Cameron seemed to mock him dismissively – perhaps worse than attacking him. Here are my highlights.

Cameron started with “Bendy Wendy” and her well-documented support for a referendum on Scottish independence. “That is not what she has said,” said Brown. Cameron at least had the quote handy – though he missed out the crucial “it’s time for him to put up or shut up”. Cameron quoted her saying “’I don’t fear the verdict of the Scottish People. Bring it on” – what else could that possibly mean? It’s not leadership if no one is following him.” Anyone who has read Wee Wendy’s interview would be staggered at Brown’s blatant misrepresentation of her case. Simply incredible.

When Brown reprised his new attack line: “slick salesman”, Cameron let rip.
