    Was the commons debate always this vacuous? Just realised that it's a bit of a shame when you judge these debates on punchlines :s

    He pulled it about because he was losing and needed the 'withering putdown' to end with

    DC sounded desperate at the end there. Whatever he says about EM and Labour he can't deny the fact there are issues within his own cabinet and they're starting to damage him.

    Cameron lied about what tax is again. Tax is paid on things you buy, including services whether you have earnt anything or not. It is not just paid on earnings.

    Very formulaic.

    Opposition leader: You've ruined the car industry.

    PM: I'll tell you what we've done with the car industry, shall I? [Reads from sheet, detailing meaningless stats about how more cars are built in comparison to when so and so's party was incharge]

    Main party: YEAHHHHHHHHHHHH

    Speaker: ORDER!

    Interesting question about bedroom tax and couples who are separated but still live together.

    Quite common according to Daily Mail.

    Poor all round.
    Cameron is resorting to Brown style tractor production figures.
    Ed waffles and fails to use his sixth question yet again.
    The soundbite of the week seems to be about Cameron supporting the choice of opposition.
    Absolutely nothing new learned this week. Sack the lot of them.

    The problem was that Ed didn't ask anything of real substance. The first question wasn't even a question! There wasn't much for Cameron to get his teeth into.

    it wasn't meant to be a question, it was making a point, yet another Government U-turn. He made it.

    So it was Ed's fault for not asking the right questions? LOL

    Good opener from Ed but average follow up. Gave it to Ed this week as the answers were even worse than the questions..
    Not sure why the speaker intervened on the length of the question . Sure I've heard longer ones

    The only thing we usually learn from PMQ's is how secure each leader is within their own parties and currently it appears EM is at his strongest and most secure within Labour where as DC is looking rather exposed within the Conservatives. Ed has to take advantage of that.. it's nothing DC wouldn't do.

    Isn't "asking the right questions" part of his job?

    Lazy politics from Miliband. If we wanted a comedian leading the opposition then we'd hire one.

    I agree.
    But with six question and a couple of planted ones from the labour benches. There's far more important things Ed can be asking about. Until Ed asks a decent question, I can't award him a "win". It's like watching an argument between two drunks in the pub. Right now the DUP are asking about fuel duty in the upcoming budget. That's far more relevent and what Ed should be asking

    Yes, I think the "brewery" line would have been better if it had come from a back bencher but Ed clearly thought it was such a good joke that he wanted to use it himself - unfortunately he had nothing to back it up with and Labour don't have a settled policy on alcohol pricing either.
