Stay tuned for live coverage from 1200.
1159: Still waiting for the main event. You can watch it here, by the way.
1203: And we’re off. Brown starts by paying tribute to British troops in Afghanistan, as well as aid workers killed in Kabul
1204: First question from Stephen Hepburn on whether pleural plaque victims will get compensation.
1205: Here’s Cameron now. As expected, he leads on Brown’s embarrassing U-turn of TA cuts; an issue the Tories have been pushing for the past couple of weeks. Cameron asks hopw Brown could have thought about cutting training during wartime.

1208: Cameron’s going for the jugular, saying that the Opposition forced the government’s hand.
