Tessa Jowell's face is a picture
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, along with Brown’s equally bizarre statement that Tory policy was to increase unemployment, made this a particularly desperate performance for the PM.
Even Bercow was taking the piss out of him.

ReplyDeleteBest thing Bercow's ever said!
Look at Harriet's face at 0:14, her lip curls as she realizes what a clanger Gordon's dropped!
