PMQ Dec 1 2010

[minestrone]

Labour seem to be on thin ice just now and as much as I disliked them they did have some heavy weight politicians hanging about the cabinet that could pitch the party line with vigour and conviction. Ed Balls looks like a teacher who cannot be arsed telling your mum why you failed the last French test. Milliband looks like a teacher who failed the teaching degree.

I think it is important that the opposition is strong and questions every decision a Government makes. These losers are just making idiots of themselves.

You would have thought Labour had learned something from the last time they were in opposition and fielded Blair (style) over Brown (substance).

Brown was "substance" alright; that substance was cyanide
Hopefully they'll keep Milliband because it'll at least reduce the chance of that god-awful political party from ever being re-elected...

I quite liked Milliband's sarcastic comment about Clegg having to leave the country on important business around the time of the Uni fees vote. Although it would have been better if he hadn't returned prior to it.

IMO, similar situation here - the other Milliband was potentially more appealing to voters.

Labours recent attempts to re-badge themselves as 'beyond new Labour' are desperate - as if the previous Labour years in Govt. never happened.

Some people think Brown was substance and Blair was style.

Well I didn't agree with many things that Blair did, but he had an agenda and did things.

Brown on the other hand was a damp squib ...

Mistake eh? Milliband Junior was election because unions said so - they've got massive power within Liebor party, and why not since it's them who finances it now (it's a bit harder to give Lordships to sponsors now).

If the opposition bow to the unions WE'RE ALL DOOOOOOOOOOMED

they did make the mistake in which Milliband brother they elected

I'm not Labour's biggest fan, but they did make the mistake in which Milliband brother they elected, David has far more political sense and his brother's win was more of a popularity contest than who was the better leader.

Ed Millibad won't last long, he's useless. Labour will get rid.

Just watched it, the political equivalent of watching a man get dismembered by a bear

Ed Milliband just hasnt got it.

I think he is going to get the boot.

It was pretty poor, but at least he can shout loudly enough to get his pathetic point across.

I watched question time on Thursday and Lib Dem 'Danny Alexander' was just awful. He was as meek as a mouse, and couldn't defend a single point effectively. His lack of voice meant he was drowned out at every opportunity to defend, whereas a more established politician would have made sure they were heard out, even if it killed them trying. The audience had decided from the start he was doomed. Such a shame David Laws had to drop out of the coalition, but perhaps he'll be back sooner than we think.

Not unless ze Unions say so
