PMQs live blog | 16 December 2009

It’s snowing in Westminster; Gordon Brown’s off saving the world; and PMQs will see Harman facing off against Hague and Cable.  Stay tuned for live coverage from 1200.

1200: Have MPs gone on holiday already?  There are plenty of empty seats in the chamber…

1202: Here’s Harman now.  Condolences for fallen soldiers, first, and then a status update on Brown in Copenhagen.  I imagine we’ll hear more about the Danish summit today…

1203:
Harman says that she hopes a settlement is soon reached in BA negotiations.

1204: Plant ‘o the Day: Labour MP Judy Mallber hints that the Tories’ allegiances in Europe will impact their ability to tackle climate change.

1204: And the bigging up of Brown begins.  Harman says that he’s at the “centre of events” – and contrasts him with the “shadow Foreign Secretary, so can’t get his party’s MPs to believe in climate change”.  Hm – bit of a weird dig at Hague.
