Live coverage of PMQs from 1200.
1202: Here’s Brown now. First question from Andrew Selous (Con) on specialist hospitals. Guess where Brown goes with this: he brings up Andrew Lansley’s “cuts” comment this morning (even though Lansley was talking about areas other than health). I suspecty he may bring this up again.
1204: Second question a Labour plant: “Will the PM turn his back on the 10 percent cuts that the Tories are commited to…” As Fraser puts it: “Brown’s Budget, Brown’s cuts”. This is shameless stuff from the Dear Leader.
1205: Cameron kicks off saying how “delighted” he is to see the Brown still opposite him. He then asks about Brown’s electoral reform plan.
1206: Brown: “Finally, after many, many weeks, a question about policy.” This is disingenuous but fiery rhetoric from Brown.
1207: Another gaffe from the Speaker. He accidentally moves on from Cameron after one question – laughter, and then Cameron gets his other questions.
