    It is good to see the government's belief on recycling as most of the statement will be recycling policies and spending announcements with a side order of reinstating projects they cancelled.

    It seems Osborne is going to abolish Air Passenger Duty (APD) for children. This is an attempt to curry favour with Asians who regularly take their large families 'home' for family visits.

    Wonder will we get the power to set our own rate of corporation tax as anticipated.

    I also wonder how many caveats it will come with.

    Or British people who want to take their children on holiday?

    This could be another trip through the grinder for Milliband and Balls. People trust tins of ham on the economy more than them, coupling that with how they don't seem to have any economic strategy apart from taxing stuff that's unpopular at the time, we could see another painful session.

    On two occasions in the past few days Balls had admitted that there will have to be cuts after the GE but Laabour's cuts would be "fairer".

    No mention of plan B or "too soon too fast".

    Or 'cost of living crisis'. I think they've genuinely given up on the economy now, Balls barely ever appears.

    This is my final PMQs for the foreseeable future as I start a new job next week which won't allow me to watch live on a Wednesday. I still look forward to catching up with the DS PMQ thread afterwards.

    Not when you consider the relative size of the families, the distances travelled and the the frequency of the visits, no.

    Ed finger waving and castigating Cameron over broken promises in the NHS

    Cameron retaliates with a list of Miliband's broken promises.

    Skinner going up and down like a ****'s nightshirt.

    How he has the stamina at his age after heart surgery is amazing.

    Decent line of questioning from Ed for once and a lot of bluster from Dave in return.

    Miliband's predictions - listed by Cameron to choruses of "Wrong, wrong, wrong"

    Ed Miliband said he would never go for gimmicks - when he said it, did he mean it?
