With Gordon Brown in the US, David Cameron on compassionate leave and Nick Clegg on paternity leave, it will be Harriet Harman, William Hague and Vince Cable standing in for their leaders at PMQs today. I will be live blogging...

As Gordon Brown has gone to Brussels looking for agreement from Europe on his bank rescue plans, PMQs this week will be a deputy affair. Harriet Harman will take the Prime Minister's position behind the despatch box, William Hague stands in for Cameron and Vince Cable leads the questions for the Lib Dems. Will Harriet be able to take on Hague's witticisms once more? Can Cable comman...

Harriet Harman will face William Hague and Vince Cable at PM's questions, with Gordon Brown away in Copenhagen.

With the Prime Minister off gigging at the US Congress, it was left to Harriet Harman to stand in at Prime Minister’s Questions, and face interrogation from Vince Cable for the Lib Dems and William Hague for the Tories. This was undoubtedly a pretty weak performance by Ms Harman (though, somewhat bizarrely, she has been

Today brings one of those rare treats - a PMQs tussle between Harriet Harman and William Hague. While Gordon the cat's away in Brussels, those mice will play, and expect Hattie to make the kind of pops about Hague's little Lake Como jolly that the PM would prefer to rise above. Labour MPs were pleased with the way the bout went between GB and David Cameron last week, and will be wil...

As the Prime Minister is visiting Iraq today, it falls to Deputy Labour Leader Harriet Harman to face the last Prime Minister's Questions of 2008... or rather the last 'Questions'. She'll be battling it out with PMQs supremos William Hague for the Tories and Vince Cable for the Lib Dems. Can Harriet hold her own, returning to the form of her first (surprisingly good) perfo...

11.30am: With the Prime Minister in Brussels, Harriet Harman is standing in for PMQs today. William Hague is facing her for the Opposition. Rosa Prince of the Telegraph expects Harman to "make the kind of pops about Hague's little Lake...

Harriet Harman proved at today's PMQs that lightning doesn't strike twice. In her first outing against William Hague a few months ago she emerged triumphant. On the second occasion it was a score draw. Today she was flailing about all over the place - incoherant, unconfident and apparently without anything to say about the current economic crisis. Hague played it clever. He didn't g...

  Yup, Harriet Harman doesn't like being mocked by William Hague.  But she's not going to turn the other cheek.  Her retaliation: pointing out that Mr Hague in 2004 took as much as £20,000 from none other than Royal Bank of Scotland for after-dinner speeches. (You can inspect the record here) Neatly, she waited until Mr Hague had used up all his questions too, denyin...
