QUESTION TIME QUICKIE:
IF you didn’t see QT last night, then you missed out. An audience filled with passionate political women, with only just three men in sight. All to celebrate International Women’s Week.
QUOTE OF THE DAY
“Brown is a compulsive liar, he has no soul.” Kelvin Mackenzie, former Sun editor.
TOTTY WITH AN ATTITUDE
Former Europe minister Caroline Flint had to hold her head in shame when defending Gordon Brown over not properly funding British troops in combat zones. Suffice to say, a passionate mother in the audience managed to get one over on Flint by saying that she had to fund out of her own pocket, additional and better equipment for her 18-year-old son, who has just been deployed to Afghanistan for the first time. Flint’s defence of Gordon ironic considering she accused Gordon of using women as just window dressers in cabinet. She refuted Mackenzie’s line that Brown was a liar.
Question Time is repeated on Sunday at 6pm on BBC Parliament. This edition is well worth watching…

GORDON BROWN had his Churchillian moment early on this morning when he told a London audience that he would not let the British people down in re-building the economy, and that he was best placed to steer the economy to safety. The likelihood is that they will stick up two fingers up to that come May. Or, vote him in, and then say ‘bugger’ off later. That’s his backbenchers, TP means.
WAGE differences between the sexes in 2020 Britain will not have narrowed, a report has revealed. Polls in the report also reveal that women would prefer not to earn higher wages, but actually have more flexible working, rather than overtake their male counterparts in the job market as the breadwinners of the family.
WHETHER you regard the Lib Dem economic spokesman Vince the Cable as a national iconic economic guru, or just another politician who likes to talk the talk (and not walk the walk) is neither here nor there.
QUICK POLL for Friday by TP. With news that backbench MPs are to get a pay hike of up to £3000 – taking their salary to £67,000 basic, plus, of course, they still get extra perks, given that the expenses scandal has still not been fully resolved, is it right that backbench MPs should be yet licking more cream off the British taxpayer purse?
Michael Foot, Neil Kinnock, and….? A Trio of failed British socialism?

AS the BBC’s political editor Nick Robinson so pointed out on the Daily Politics today, Michael Foot, the former Labour leader of the 80s, who failed so miserably in his time as leader, will probably only be remembered for exactly that: being a failure when leading the Labour Party. TP can’t really report on the ins and outs of ‘Footie’ – but this is an interesting angle emerging.
