He did it. We saw him. It actually happened. History was made at PMQs today as Gordon Brown finally gave a direct answer to a direct question. Not only that, he admitted he'd been wrong about something. Tony Baldry (Con, Banbury) informed the PM that his assertion before the Chilcot Inquiry that defence spending has risen, in real terms, every year has been contradicted by figures relea...

Any foreigner arriving in Kosovo has to brace him or herself for lessons in history. I have some trusted contacts with whom, in my first two months in Kosovo, I transacted no real business; to be able to work with me, they first needed to share their understanding of history with me - and that took some time. One often hears the claim that Kosovo has too much history for such a small place.Certain...

Live coverage of PMQs from 1200. 1202: Brown kicks off by marking this as the Speaker's final PMQs. We'll have a "valedictory" session for the Speaker after PMQs. 1203: Oh dear. Labour's Alan Whitehead asks what would happen with climate change commitments if budgets were cut by "say, 10 percent". Embarrassing. I think we can see where this PMQs...

Nadine Dorries asked the Speaker yesterday prior to PMQs to call her in order to ask the Prime Mentalist for a personal apology over Smeargate. The Speaker declined her request claiming that he could not use PMQs for personal special requests. Which is untrue because he can and does. If you watch yesterdays PMQs you will
You can’t say better than a good old rabble-rousing PMQs. Though isn’t accusing someone else of being “party political” rather, well, party political? The simple fact of this situation is that there has been massive failures that have resulted in the death of “Baby P”, and yet nothing real seems likely to be done about it. Shameful.
