PMQs LIVE: Buy Land, They’ve Stopped Making It Edition
Comments Off
Just in time for PMQs the Quarter Three donation figures reveal that 89% of Labour’s funding comes from the unions. With Dave buying land with £140,000 cash from a lobbyist you can see the dividing lines drawing themselves. Handbags at noon.
Ed Miliband’s usually most loyal supporters reacted on Twitter with dismay at the failure of the Labour leader to lay a glove on Cameron at PMQs:
full verdict at 1pm – but that was a bit of a flat performance from Ed today… #pmqs—

Odd of Ed M to devote all 6 Qs to immigration given Labour's difficulties w the issue. Menace of Maurice quotes comes back to bite too.—

The not so loyal were sarcastic:
…well that went well…—

Pundits mocking:
Ed M adopted the Paxman approach to questioning at #PMQs "You're in a mess aren't you?" Utterly hopeless.—

Cameron is somehow winning this by reminding voters Labour trebled immigration—

Reaction of tweets suggest Miliband did not quite do what was required. #bbcdp #pmqs—

Cam knows he has won and risks a joke at EMil expense. Slightly cocky I think #pmqs—

Max Clifford says…
“Most people want to read nasty things about people, not nice things.”

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.
