The parliamentary sketchwriters have waited a long time to say that Brown floored Cameron at PMQs yesterday. Today they've filled their boots. All completely overblown of course. Cameron knows it is a very long game and an economy on its knees in 12 months time is likely to give him a perfect backdrop for a straightforward election victory. All yesterday showed was that Labour have got some discipline back. And further to my blog about how the return of Nick Brown and John Spellar to the whips office has helped get the organisation back, I was told to watch again PMQs and see the horrific sight on TV when backbencher Gavin Strang asked Brown a question. Take a look. Go to 15 minutes 28 seconds. It is truly a horrific sight. Jim Devine, Jim Sheridan, David Anderson, Jimmy Hood, the bearded Andrew Miller all doughnutting around the questioner. Hardly a woman MP in sight. I reckon the combined weight here is several tonnes. I imagine this was what the Labour benches looked like in the 70s in the days before cameras were allowed in. Why have they done it? It seems they've gone all Phil Spector and wanted to create "a wall of sound" to make a more intimidating atmosphere. But at what price? This was the return of ugly, overweight Labour.
