Was the PM’s ‘I know how Nadine is frustrated..

Posted 7 Sep 2011 by Walaa Idris

…another ‘calm down dear’ moment or just simply getting caught off guard by the relentless Ms. Dorries?

Well the little kids are back in school and the big kids are back in Westminster. With so much to choice from – after six weeks recess – any politician worth his socks knows the one issue to talk about and chew over until November (budget) will be the economy.

Ed Miliband, latest style of calm long winded questioning – them KAPOW land a hit was great fun the first few times. Now, the surprise element is no longer there and I find myself simply counting down for the punch line – which becomes very obvious by the second or third question.

Of course David Cameron would have been ready with a number of quotes about any economy question – it was on the news that he walked into Parliament armed with a copy of Alistair Darling’s memoirs – but to all together avoid asking any question on the economy is cowardice and will backfire. Miliband should have used the Band-Aid solution – just swiftly and firmly dived in and took the pain like a man – it would have hurt but also done, over, finished…NEXT!

However, PMQs today wasn’t totally surprise free – Nadine Dorries asked the PM isn’t it about time he told the Deputy Prime Minister who is the boss?” Cameron, in an attempt to empathize with her replied – I know how Nadine is “frustrated” … it was funny but can also be trouble… time will tell!

The other was Mr. Speaker actually attacking Labour and accusing some opposition backbenchers of “organized barracking”…… was that ‘a new sheriff in town’ moment or just a one off….., time will tell here too!

In summery – I have to agree with the Guru, Steve Hilton – “Dave danced like a butterfly and stung like a bee”

Nadine Dorries, like many other MPs needs to realise that they are accountable to the electorate and neither the PM nor the deputy PM is ‘the boss’!

Hurrah defeat for Dorries by 250! Relieved that MPs woke up to her dissemblance.
