    I have always felt that the "you are crap" or "you couldnt do better" argument is a smoke screen for "we know we are crap but will try and con the voters that you are worse".
    Totally agree "we are tulip but the other lot are tulipe" what a pathetic argument. My next least favourite goes along the lines of "things are already awful so let's make them a bit worse" - like people who say we might as well have ID cards and a DNA database because the gov already has loads of our data

    There is a text feed usualy available from the BBC politics page.
    It is slow though and you do not get the atmosphere of the chamber.

    All over now.

    Opportunity missed IMHO. I know the expenses issue is cross party and so not really something any of them can take the high ground on but the fact that there are ministers leaving the cabinet faster than you can say Accenture directorship should have been fair game.

    It's on TV in the corridors here, but they've got the sound turned down.

    Cameron was looking very serious and saying a lot, Darling was looking like he'd just trod in a turd, and Brown was laughing. What was that exchange about?

    Their argument

    - Brown would not guarantee Darling would remain as Chancellor and his leadership had collapsed.

    - Cameron has no policy to deal with the recession.
