PMQs today was a ratbag of a show.
Cameron was on the attack over the helicopter numbers in Afghanistan. The PM was basically blaming the armed forces chiefs for the numbers and the response from his government for any requests.
The Tories have a lot of ammunition on pension cuts and taxes that they can hurl at the PM and his team. This may well be the Achilles heel of the govt. The mounting rise in taxes, hidden, stealth and all those out in the open, may be the undoing of the PM. And what of the Gold reserves sold off by this government? Will we ever know the truth of that by Chancellor Brown?
Result: Both blew a lot of hot air at each other, but I think Cameron once again got under the skin of the PM who gets niggled by the Tory Leader.
Lots of sad MPs today I guess. The ones about to leave by their own volition. But many others will go by the voters choice, so we ought have at least 250 - 300 new MPs in the new parliament in May. What a rush of new blood that will be as so many of the old faces fade away and enjoy, hate, relish, get depressed in their new situations.
The House Speaker may be in danger of losing his seat as well to the UK leader. That would be a massive event if he loses his seat having a monumental majority.
But even if Bercow wins, he may have trouble remaining Speaker should a new Govt put forward new names for a Commons vote. Watch this space come May.
