Gordon Brown fails to answer a question - shock, horror!

Take a look at this video of David Cameron and Gordon Brown during the Queens Speech debate yesterday. Apart from David Cameron looking as though he is really enjoying besting Gordon Brown yet again, take a look at Gordon Brown's right hand during his non-answer about looking at the opinion polls before deciding not to call the election. He is pointing with his left hand but the right is clenched hard into a fist and is vibrating. Guy NEWS ask if he is cracking up or shaking with fear. I think neither; I think he is just desperately trying to hide his rage, he's been caught out and he wants to scream and shout and threaten all sorts but he needs to keep control. It's a shame there wasn't a PMQs today because a few more shots on target and this PM might just blow...



Do you think Gordon Brown answered the question? I think not, you can read that part of the debate here and judge for yourselves.


Maybe at the next PMQs, David Cameron could just ask that same question six times "Will he look across the Dispatch Box and tell us that he was not looking at the polls when he cancelled the general election?". Maybe every interviewer could ask Gordon Brown the same question when (or rather if) he deigns to be interviewed again. I assume that at some point Gordon Brown will be interviewed by someone other than a poodle or a comfy sofa "interview" with Richard and Judy or Des and Mel. Perhaps he could try Newsnight's Kirsty Wark if he wants a BBC/NuLab friend to go easy on him; I assume he isn't man enough to go face to face with Jeremy Paxman. Maybe this rumour about a planned interview with Russell Brand might suit him best of all.
