    Miliband is obviously paying far too much for fuel and hasn't bothered to switch. Most of us have had a reduction. In my case 7 and 1/2 % since last December.

    Cameron gets in a dig about Miliband not replying to the Budget last week.

    Miliband repeats his mantra "cost of living crisis"

    Cameron gets in another dig about Miliband only now getting round to the Budget.

    Miliband who had been shrieking now advises Cameron to "Calm down dear".

    Ed is trying to say that recent energy price falls are 'a price freeze' which is what he was proposing. He's talking rubbish, it has nothing to do with a government-imposed freeze, which could never work.

    EM is sounding like a typical Labour MP sent to appear on some TV show and reading some points from the script which never seems to change and never seems to get added to.

    I think he might be on the slide.

    Miliband is really rattled and his cool calm approach has gone out of the window.

    Cameron points out that the economy is recovering from Labour's mess and accuses Miliband of "flailing around".

    Very foolish of Miliband to try to claim credit for SSE's price freeze. If he doesn't understand the difference between the difference between a government imposed freeze and a market driven one then there's no hope for him.

    Stephen Pound is always good for a laugh.

    I cannot think of anything that Miliband might lead on and I am sure that Cameron will as usual will be well briefed and ready to repel marauders.

    Perhaps Miliband will mention the Budget seeing as he didn't bother to mention it last week in his response to it?

    Stephen Pound came out second best in that encounter.

    It's his cri de coeur method and he is always smug and satisfied when he does it.

    Why is it that when Cameron is speaking, and the camera cuts to balls and Miliband, they are both grinning like a couple of loons. Hasn't anyone told them how to look statesmanlike...

    Exactly. And thankyou for putting it more clearly than I did!

    Miliband just cannot think on his feet, he is completely lost and get flustered if he has to deviate from his prepared script.
