Stay tuned for live coverage of today’s Cameron vs Harman clash from 1200.
1200: A prompt start. Cameron begins with condolences for the fallen in Afghanistan. Clegg grabs the PM by the elbow as he sits down – making sure there wasn’t an embarrassing lap-sitting moment, I think.
1201: Julian Smith asks whether it is “irresponsible” of Labour to back union strikes. Cameron says it is, natch,
1203: A dignified start by Harman. She passes on her congratulations for the Cameron’s new baby, and her condolences for the death of his father. Her question is about what
progress the government is making on tackling human trafficking.
1204: Cameron quips that Harman is “by far the most popular” Labour leader he’s ever faced across the dispatch box. He adds that he’s doing all he can to tackle the
“evil” of trafficking.
1205: A good-natured session, this. Responding to Cameron’s praise, Harman says that she’s “lucky I wasn’t wearing a hoodie today”.
