BBC political correspondent Colette McBeth says: It was no love-in, but then we didn't expect that. David Cameron used the last prime minister's questions to talk about deception. Gordon Brown's that is. He said the PM was a master of it, had hoodwinked the public on helicopter numbers and robbing pension funds. And of course there was the matter of so many business leaders supporting Conservative National Insurance plans. Had they been deceived? Mr Cameron focused on what he sees as the issues that play well for his party. He was essentially asking if Mr Brown is a man to be trusted. For his part Mr Brown trotted out his favourite lines: Labour had taken the right decisions on economy and the Conservatives had opposed them; Mr Cameron's policies would threaten our public services; and the Tories' figures didn't add up. Nick Clegg was at his most animated, talking about how both parties had colluded and blocked political reform. He told both Brown and Cameron they'd failed and it was time to go. And go they will - on the campaign trail. | |
