Anticipation is brewing for the Clegg PMQs special at midday. And to think we all laughed when he said “I want to be Prime Minister” at the last LibDem conference.
The Cowley Street press office is furiously spinning the joyous news that this is the first Liberal at PMQs since 1922.
Which is odd given that PMQs was established in 1961…

Prezza breaks with Labour to tell Adam Boulton:
“I don’t like you but I don’t want to put you under statutory control.”
Maybe if they really wanted to “decontaminate the Labour brand” with business people, they shouldn’t have totally buggered up the economy?
Just a thought.
No staring at the ceiling dolphin today for Master Clegg
Don’t give up your day job Clegg…. oh wait!
In the absence of your Lord and Master, perhaps Mr Clegg you could manage to explain what the “Big Society is”?? So far it makes no sense at all. A product of the feeble mind of Oily it appears to be little more than an opportunity for the do gooders and ego trippers in society to excert their influence on us lesser mortals while remaining completely unaccountable.
If the “Big Society” which currently runs our village hall and parish council (rather blatantly know as “The Old Liars” ) so favoured by Letwin are going to be typical of the sort of pariah group which runs camerons “Big Society” then beware. Development plans being drawn up by those who want to develop their land? Local rates being levied by unelected quangos?
You seem to be confusing Nick Clegg with a man of principles
That’s Dave’s best friend you’re talking about you know.
Heterosexual life partner it must be said……..oh no, I didn’t mean that…… homos are valid and brilliant too, and make very good interior designers. In fact I might even be one.
Clegg bears the same relation to the Big Match Temperament as Count Dracula bears to garlic.
I’ll wage money that he will end up doing one in his pants.
Clegg is now Mr 14%
If the fact that the LibDems are on 14% make it No.1 in your wank bank, you really have got problems haven’t you?
it’s a small grotesque perverted dwarf
fuck off freak
…..not as many problems as you, obviously.
parroted the fuckwit, obviously
You need your cock removing and stuck up your arse. On second thoughts, you’d enjoy it too much.
whereas you’rs is alredy frimly lodged up your arse which accounts for you being such a twat
He looks like Prime Munster in that picture.
who are labour putting up against him?
A tub of lard?
Lard nor nerd
Did somebody say a tub of lard?
Interesting Q – there is no deputy leader currently.
None of the leadership candidates could (should?) do it?
Rosie ‘thin on top’ Winterton is shadow leader of the Commons. Surely not???
Wey-hey, it’s the man of Straw.
Betcha fcuking Megrahi won’t come up.
Or Straw’s many infidelities……
Presumably he will be facing Hattie Manhater-Harperson? No contest, surely? These days her entire performance is scripted, so if he can drag her away from this then she’s doomed.
You could put up a corpse against this dreadful woman and still win comfortably.
Thanks pal
She has already. He is called Jack Dromey.
Thought PMQ’s was established in Churchill’s second administration, so he wouldn’t have to attend the House at all times to answer questions, given his age and state of health.
Given that he was a chronic pi$$head more like.
That’s as may be, as Prime Minister, he really did save the world.
Apart from a few disastrous adventure: Dardanelles, Norway, Dieppe, Arnhem, just to mention a few.
So, have you been right all the time? None of us is (save TaT of course who has his own world.)
Gallapoli and Norway you can have, Dieppe was Mountbattens plan, and while a failure it led to changes for D Day and Torch. Arnhem was Montgomery’s failure, big ego wanting to beat Patton rather than the rather more boring but important operation to clear Antwerp.
What a creep. A liar, and a smug one too. Nothing he says will be worth hearing. As to Straw, don’t get me onto him.
Are those the only two front-benchers you dislike? You are doing remarkably well if so.
Shame I’m busy…………. it is going to be amusing to see Optimus-Clegg lording it over Labour.
I bet 50p he tries to torment Labour that he is the one-true leader of Progressives and that Labour are just an opposition party.
As part of the coalition agreement DC had one of those high-powered electronic dog-collar thingys called Tozer modified and welded to Cleggy’s wedding tackle, with the added option of remote firing from anywhere in the world. One word out of place and the resulting two-foot erection will require surgical removal.
As Pink Floyd sang:
Missus Clegg, you must be proud of him
Missus Clegg, another drop of gin
Corporal Clegg, umbrella in the rain
He’s never been the same
No one is to blame
Corporal Clegg recieved his medal in a dream
From her Majesty, the Queen
His boots were very clean
That clip is from a parallel universe.
1922? 1961? they were all before he was born. After they are only numbers, no need for them to spoil the spin.
My wife is getting sacked from GMTV, I will have to put her on the game to pay the bills.
Any takers?
200 Quid an hour any good?
bloody hell!
Was only £35 last time
You were done! She paid me.
to stop you from stalking her children nonce
39 years out, not bad for a Lib-Dum
So this is the first time that a Liberal has faced PMQs, does that not make it more momentous*?
*For momentous read “slightly less underwhelming”.
You can never buy a Lib Democrat. Only rent them.

My small contribution to making them suffer.
Getting rid of NSI index liked saving certificates seems like a dirty trick only the Libs would come up with. Sounds like something that vindictive git cable would think of.
Perhaps they have got wind of high inflation coming our way what with the BT and train fares set to go up 10% soon.
I think the strategy to pay for the national debt is to slowly impoverish us all instead of a quick slump, inflation will soon overtake income and savings.
Should have been index-linked but i did like them as well
Squeaker already calling for order.
Is Scotchish questions though…..
Cleggo should try to inscribe his name in the tablets of history by, for instance, being the first to use the word “spunk” at PMQs or being to first to answer a question with a direct, sensible answer.
anyone for-coffee?
You should give him one of your spunk filled socks for inspiration Sir William.
Or both in the same question, Sir William.
HH: What have you got that Gordon Brown does not have?
NC: Spunk.
I am sure someone else can improve on this initial attempt.
What is Dave currently swallowing from Obama?
His war and his spunk.
Well, I had hoped that someone would improve upon my attempt.
And I had hoped an egotistical fuckwit like you wouldn’t butt in when I wasn’t talking to you, but there you go
I despise this coalition of cardigan wearing traitors as much as I despised Neo Labour already.
The sandals exposing their fungus encrusted toenails are worse.
I want to suck them.
Neither PMQs nor the Liberal Democratic Party existed in 1922. The party didn’t exist when PMQs arrived in 1961. The Lib Dems came into being as a home for disgruntled left wing sandal wearers and has no history worth a mention.
no history and no future
I’m sure Clegg sprinted to his computer to check the comments section of order.order right after PMQ’s.
You twat.
Prime Ministers have answered questions in Parliament for centuries; the formal allotted time of Prime Minister’s Questions dates from 1961.
Clegg is therefore right; the formalisation dates from 1961, not the practice. Doh!
Clegg is wrong. He has nothing in common with the long defunct Liberal Party. No connection with 1961, let alone 1922.
Thanks for that, Dolly.
Some of these comments have been written by scholars on summer holidays and also those fresh out of kindergarten!
Frankly after the dire performance of Straw. One must sit back and consider the level of debate around that cabinet table, especially when we have been told that Straw was one of the leading lights. God sake no wonder a man called Brown was able to become leader if Straw is an indication of the ‘talent’ around that table!
That said. Clegg was extremely good. Obviously nervous and that is a very good sign. Anyone who says they are never nervous is a total ass!
Well done Mr Clegg. I do believe most conservatives, like myself, would have been pleasantly surprised by your performance. It augers well for the next five years.
If one of the brothers grimm is the answer to Liebour’s prayers, then they obviously want opposition for the next fifty years.
Viva la coalition.
What PMQs were you watching? he couldn’t give an answer over Shefffield Forgemasters.
Five years of those robbing bastards? It will implode long before, for if it does not the godamned country may well implode. These arsewipes in power, by default are social housing built on sand. They cannot stand, they will not stand. As for camoron’s big society it is pure unadulterated ballocks, like himself.
Finally, while I am in ranting mood…Does the BBC employ anyone straight? Does the bastard BBC employ anyone who is not bent?
Answers on a postage stamp (definitive).
Hmm, bad day at the office? yes the BBC are all bent, even the ones who aren’t.
Straw was a leading light. You just had to take a match to the Strawman.
Just had a thought with the conference season upon us soon what will happen to the LIBDEM and Conserative confernece will we have a coalition conferrence?
[...] he was pilloried for claiming he was the first Liberal to appear at PMQs since 1922, which, as Guido points out, “is odd given that PMQs was established in 1961″; for saying the Iraq war [...]
