“First he denies his own policy, then he tries insults.” So said Ed Miliband of David Cameron’s performance in PMQs today. But I wonder what he’d say of the hundreds of Twitter users who went straight for the insults in a special Q&A with the Labour leader earlier. Urged on by Guido, plenty deployed the #AskEdM hash-tag to be rather unkind to MiliMinor. Here’s a selection of some of the crueller, funnier and less comradely tweets:
@MTPT: If a train leaves Paddington at 1136, carrying 200 commuters, what time will the RMT bring it to a standstill?
@FelicityParkes: Where did Ed Balls touch you? Show us on the doll.
@MShapland: hows your brother
@Charlesm186: how many knives did you put in Tony Blair’s back?
@alexmassie: Was Brutus an honourable man? Discuss.
@Toy_Tory: you were the one who was foreign secretary, right?
