This is, of course, why ministers have advisors - so they shouldn't start acting as if they, themselves, know it all.”
Ken answered "NO" to the question on would No entry signs on certain roads cut down congestion but he seemed to have said it with an impressed laugh so maybe Norris was right that No entry signs here and there would have done the trick too?

Duncan barkes infuriated me with his stance. He can't have been watching PM Q's and Cameron's latest conference speeches then as Cameron does keep on using his son to deflect criticism about the Tories cutting disability benefits and cuts to the NHS. Even Cameron's wife kinda hesitated/gulped before she clapped him when he bought it up in his conference speech.
Gordon Brown lost his daughter within days of her being born, did he ever use her to defend himself at PM Q's or at Labour confrences?!
