PMQs: Lib Dems have thwarted changes to fox hunting law

Ed Miliband started strongly at PMQs today. He seized on Scottish and Southern’s announcement that they’ll freeze energy prices as a justification of his most popular policy, the energy price freeze. He mockingly asked Cameron if he still thought the idea was unworkable and a Communist plot.

But Cameron was determined not to lose the momentum that the Budget has given the Tories and just bulldozed past Miliband's questions. Then, when Miliband moved onto the cost of living, Cameron seized the chance to rattle off a list of the coalition's most popular policies. At the end of their exchanges, Cameron had matched—if not bettered—Miliband on what are meant to be Labour's two strongest areas.

Unlike most other weeks, Cameron did not ease up after his exchanges with the Labour leader.
