    Well Carswell's question is not going to blunt the speculation that Goldsmith will be the next to defect.

    Inheritance tax also affects people who aren't posh.

    No it's because she's posh and it's all about her inheritance!
    :p


    She is most certainly not raising the issue because she is MP for an area where the average house price is well over the current threshold of £325k and is in no way thinking about the average people of her constituency. ;-)

    Who did Carswell call his "honourable friend"? Can he have any given that he has no other UKIP MPs in the house?

    That's fine. It's posh people that are being objected to.;-)

    Better from Ed but lets be honest he couldn't really get much worse.
    Sky are in full damage limitation mode over lord Fraud. BBC Suggesting unless his reasons are valid he will be sacked.

    I wish the PM wouldn't keep using his dead son as his "get out of jail" card when it comes to the NHS and disability rights.
    It leaves a nasty taste in the mouth.

    He didn't mention his son today. Camerons' father was disabled. Cameron knows about having a disabled family member.

    Cameron claimed Disability Living Allowance for his disabled son, and saw to it that he was treated by the NHS.

    In general, good one for Ed Miliband. He needs to speak with conviction and some passion all the time and if the pro Tory press (inc the Guardian who seem to want Labour as Tory lite) don't like it - TOUGH!

    Ed Miliband should stay with proper Labour policies and he'll probably get proper labour voters back and many either stopped voting or went to other left of centre parties like te SNP, Plaid Cmru in Wales and The Greens, even Lib Dems in 2010 who are likely to vote Labour again now.

    Labour need to point out much more on how they will need their voters/supporters to actually turn out and vote in the General Election whether the seat is safe or not as the Tories are trying to get English votes for English seats on the first past the post system (when it should be on the PR system) and are making out they are more popular in numbers in England when they aren't. Its that the Tory voters turn out and vote in big numbers in safe seats and Labour voters don't turn out in big numbers in Labour's safe seats.

    I think Cameron has got to stop using what happened to his son as a way of others not being allowed to criticise what he and his party do on the NHS and on the disabled.

    The fact is the Tories have made cuts to disability benefits and they did do an unecessary top down reorganisation of the NHS and most of us don't know for sure if the Tories do have plans to privatise the NHS or not. For Cameron to as good as say "don't go there" because my son was disabled and needed the NHS a lot is not on.

    We all use the NHS and we all have the rights to make our criticisms of political parties and their policies/stances!

    Zac Goldsmith, the member for Richmond Park. ZG "introduced" him to The Commons on Monday along with Sir Peter Tapsell, the father of the commons.

    A decent performance for Miliband although it helped by what Lord Freud said.
