"A 0% rise"
Sort by Mr Eugenides (Free subscription) - 01/07/2009
Having spent the past few weeks lying about what will happen to debt and public spending after next year, Gordon has now gone completely postal and started invented new mathematical concepts at PMQs today. No, I'm not exaggerating: There just aren't the words for this man.

Thanks to Crown Blogspot , those who didn't see PMQs today can watch the latest 'spin', regarding spending cuts, from Gordon Brown. Crown calls it the best PMQ answer ever, I would call it a reflection of Brown's incompetence.

Brown played a blinder at PMQs

He did. He did. It was marvellous stuff. He was spot on about two things. One, he said spending will rise by 0%. Two, by not wishing Andy Murray luck the lad should have no trouble winning this afternoon. Nobody could have got both things so right. What a man.

Immediately after PMQs 25 to 30 hacks surrounded Michael Ellam, Brown’s spokesman, and harangued him over what – in the name of jumping jehosifa – a 0% rise is. The likes of the Spectator’s Fraser Nelson, the FT’s George Parker and the Sun’s George Pasco Watson – who were leading the interrogation – looked astonished as Ellam attempted to explain that a 0% rise was indeed a rise. The weird claim,...

"The Prime Minister's answer must be heard..."

"The Prime Minister's answer must be heard..." So said Speaker Bercow during Gordon Brown's verbal flailing about at PMQs today. I can only assume that the words "to be believed" should have been appended to what Speaker Bercow said, thus: "The Prime Minister's answer must be heard, to be believed". Here's Gordon Brown's "0% rise" comment; do look at the faces of Harriet Harman, Tessa Jowell and Alistair...

Apparently, public spending is due for a stonking 0% rise in 2013. Lucky public sector, eh?

Better Than Nothing

It may only be a rise of 0% but at least it is a rise, and that's better than no rise at all, isn't it? As an aside: Gruff thought the barely suppressed amusement evident on Mr Speaker's face beneath the dignity of the office but no less enjoyable for that. Gruff thanks to Steve Green, of Daily Referendum , for the video Only an English Parliament can properly represent the interests of the people...

'A picture tells a thousand words' caption contest This is a frame capture from Prime Ministers Questions today at the House of Commons. Ministers are becoming accustomed to their man comprehensively coming second in his weekly contests with Cameron but today was spectacularly bad by any standards. Here Mr Brown has just blurted out that his forecast for Government spending growth is 0%, seconds later...

Yet another tricky decision this week - and to think we thought this'd be an easy way to fob readers off with a story that'd require absolutely no effort on our behalf whatsoever! It's been yet another good week for Dodgy Git spotting even though it's gone a bit quiet as far as new expenses revelations go - presumably the newspapers are concentrating on Michael Jackson for a bit and thought they might...
