Last Weeks PMQ's transcript - questions on Egypt and Primary School class sizes (also featuring "dinners for donors" and "the party from the graveyard")

PMQ's this time last year was a right old barney. One of the more personal sessions...

Today is an Opposition Day with the opposition debating the effect of Government policy on disabled people. I don't know if that's a clue as to what we can expect by way of questions ....

    Hi Biff. I haven't included one for the past couple of weeks. I thought I'd give it a rest as the thread seemed to pivot on the poll and not PMQ's. I'll obviously put it back if that's the general consensus.

    Speaking as the general consensus I think it should be put back.

    I always wanted an option for "I haven't actually watched it but I'm voting anyway" ;)

    That's why there is no point having a poll.

    Should be interesting this week, Two weeks ago I thought it was as clear a victory for Ed as I have heard. Last week though Cam came back hard, back to his best and Ed was obliterated.

    Ed had better be ready because I can see Cam coming hard at him again. He really needs a strong meaningful first question to get Cam on the back foot. If it is a trip up question he can brush off and Cam gets the first punches in it could get tough again for Ed, like last week.

    I can see Bercow getting involved a lot as well, should be fun.

    Can you ever remember Gordon Brown answering questions when he was PM. Miliband is a very poor in opposition, he says some pointless question and then falls into a trap just about every single week.

    If he was any good he would should be able to outwit Cameron instead of doing that more often than not Miliband finishes up with egg on his face.

    It doesn't really matter what questions Milliband asks today as Cameron will just turn every answer into an attack on the Labour/Unions link

    That will be his plan and rightly so, Ed will have to make that as hard as he can, with a really tough meaningful question.

    If he tries to trip Cam up as usual like last week he will plough straight through him.

    Apart from the Union issue there is also the Post Office privatization issue.

    Miliband is batting on a sticky wicket today.

    After last week's trouncing he needs to take care.

    Woman PM seems to be rightly pointing out Vaginia Wade has been airbrushed out of history.

    LOL, this is as lively as I've seen PMQs for some time.

    Ed doing quite well, I must say - he's really on the offensive.

    Thing is: do folk really care so much about this topic?

    It would be nice to see the same level of passion articulated on topics that matter to ordinary people.

    Regards,

    Cypher

    Might as well call a general election now because it's getting pretty rough and dirty.

    Ed was slightly caught out by taking about party funding and MP second jobs. It was obviously that he was he trying to divert attention away from the the union crisis.
