No fun at all in PMQs for George Osborne . Much delight on the Labour benches though, with ministers and backbechers alike competing for the best gag at his expense. Among them: "Man overboard." "Abandon ship." "Osbornski." And, from peerless heckler Stephen Pound: "There may be roubles ahead."
The latest Calder's Comfort Farm can be found on the New Statesman website: I have been told that Glenda Jackson, an obscure backbencher who was briefly a transport minister, appeared in a film once. It sounds unlikely to me.
