One of the great joys of having every Wednesday off is the ability to watch Prime Minister's Questions, live and in full. You can't beat that half an hour for 'Punch and Judy politics', which is of course a far more enjoyable breed of politics than any other on offer. Unless you're a Liberal Democrat, in which case PMQs is no fun at all and you've already discovered many other enjoyable perks of politics, most of them illegal in many countries.
This week David Cameron took another opportunity to lob grenades at Gordon Brown before the good Chancellor gets his chance to fight back once Blair's gone. Cameron employed the ingenious measure of asking members of the Cabinet to vote on their future under Gordon - have a listen:
This from the man who would have 'Punch and Judy' banished. I hope he regrets that statement. The very last thing you want to do to Prime Minister's Questions is get rid of the comedy and high farce element, to be replaced by more inane wittering from pet Labour MPs, asking if the Prime Minister will congratulate himself for the success of a flower arranging demonstration in their Grimethorpe West constituency.
By the way, I managed to get my first ever shots onto regional telly on Monday night. South Today aired the story of Reading Rockets' triumph in the basketball at the weekend, using some of the footage I shot for the web special (which you can find here).
Apparently I, in my inexperience, cocked up some button or other while sending the footage down the line from Caversham to Southampton, which made some shots look a little the worse for wear on screen, but we live and learn (in my defence there was nobody around to help so it's a miracle it got there in the first place). I should have some speedway stuff to send them next week so we'll try to get it completely right next time! |
