Gordon "Courage" Brown

It would seem that Gordon Brown has managed to avoid PMQs again.

PMQs last half an hour on a Wednesday; the preparation time for Gordon Brown must be near nil since he doesn't answer any hostile questions, preferring to use his favourites 'Brownies' and dividing lines and has answers to Labour planted questions at his fingertips.

This is the only opportunity, every week, to try and hold Gordon Brown to account and yet again the great 'fearty' has bottled it. I am in no doubt that had Gordon Brown wished he could have arranged affairs so that he both met Jacob Zuma and been present for PMQs but he didn't.

As a result we will have the pantomime spectacle of Harriet Harman showing her lack of knowledge of economics, foreign affairs etc. whilst William Hague holds back his acid tongue in case he is accused of bullying a woman. It's pathetic and it is all the fault of Gordon yellow streak right down his flabby back' Brown.


I wonder if anyone can find figures that show what percentage of PMQs were missed by Margaret Thatcher, John Major and Tony Blair compared with those missed by the great big clunking fearty? I would wager that Gordon Brown has missed a higher proportion than any of those recent Prime Ministers but then he is a bigger coward than any of them as well.
