The PMQs attack No 10 was expecting from Labour on the Coalition’s planned
spending cuts did not materialise and today’s was another relatively quiet affair. It started with a minute’s silence in memory of those who died in the shootings in Cumbria. Harman
asked one question on gun laws before moving on to the electoral roll and whether it is fair to redraw the boundaries on a roll that does not include three and a half million people. Harman would
be on quite strong ground here except for the fact that the boundaries were redrawn under the last government using this electoral register, a point Cameron made.
When Harman moved on to CCTV there was an amusing moment when she said that she had been talking to Theresa on Friday which drew ‘oohs’ from the Tory benches who thought she was referring to the Home Secretary by her first name, only for Harman to then say that she was talking about Theresa from a council estate in her constituency who wants more CCTV not less.
