Prime Minister's Questions 28th November 2012

Ed Miliband was more restrained in his style today, which made him appear more statesmanlike.  He should avoid wagging his finger, it does not look good.  The "rats in a sack" remark was unfortunate, and gave the Prime Minister an opportunity for a quick-witted riposte (about Gordon Brown and Tony Blair not able to tolerate each other).

The ad hominem attack he made about bluster and a red face was unworthy and did not add anything to his argument (in fact it rather detracted).

The red ribbons stunt in the doughnut area around the Leader of the Opposition looked contrived (when you are trying to make an impression, that is the impression you make).

Further along the bench was an interesting contrast - the disdainful smile of Harriet Harman with, next to her, the excited shouting and rude pointing of red-jacketed Angela Eagle.
