Cameron scores on PMQs

Talking about the education reforms, Cameron said Blair's first act as prime minister was to abolish grant maintained schools, and his last act will be "to bring them back".

Mr Cameron called for more consistency from the prime minister, saying: "Blair is someone who came into politics to soak the rich and ban the bomb, but ever since then he has been sucking up to the rich and dropping bombs!"

Classic. That's one for the Blair epitaph thread a few weeks ago. Tony squirmed and I'm pretty sure there was a suppressed cheer from the Labour back benches.

Yes, but that's why its important to have credible opposition that will at least try to keep Govt in check.

Why cant the opposition concentrate on actually offering something constructive instead of trying to score political points at every chance they get?

There's no more "Punch and Judy" politics with Cameron. Remember, he said that last year, so it must be true.

Do you guys like Blair or something?

No! LOL!

Cameron did get Mr Punch out today: I guess the team were getting a little too bored with the sensible questions.

I think if he sprinkles a little bit here and there then it should liven things up a little. Mind you, slagging off the opposition in PMQs does not win elections as Howard and Hague found out, hence Cameron's initial announcement of no more P&J politics.

Well, DC and TB have to wear ties of different colours because noone can tell the difference between their policies...

Yes, instead of mentioning Cameron, I should have just said that Blair let one in, which is more to the point than whoever "scored".

Eh? Every chance they get? This is the first time the new Tory boy has done it. Everybody knows that he is offering very constructive support for Tony Blair's proposed reforms.

Howard and Hague (as well as IDS who did not get a chance) failed for far more fundamental reasons than their performance in the House, however it is clear that good performance there is much better than bad one like new Lib Dems acting leader had the other week.

I've been reading PMQs for some time and noticed that Blair tends to "answer" questions in a way that would basically say - your party or even you (the opponent) voted for this while you were in power, so its your fault. This can't work with Cameron since he has got his hands pretty clean, this is a big neutralising point that seems to rattle Blair a bit.
