What are those red flower pins they are wearing?

Read the other comments before asking the same question please!

is there an archive of these, I saw one about 2 3 years ago that I would like to see again

[BiasedBBC]

You'll be able to read the text of every PMQs going back to when time began - they'll all be in Hansard (the daily record of parliamentary proceedings - Google should help you track it down. PMQs are on Wednesdays nowadays. Pre-Blair they were on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

[BiasedBBC]

I think the BBC news site has a clip of each one, but I don't know when they started doing this or whether they publish an index of them to help find them (i.e. I have a feeling they only list the current week's PMQ session, but the URL remains functional IF you happen to have a note of it). Hope this helps.

"secret catholic" "There have even been reports he's been to mass." These comments are annoyingly typical. Similar comments would not have been made if the "reports" were that a catholic PM had been to a Church of England Service. But as usual, it's quite normal to make these comments about catholics. This couldn't happen og course since the reason we have not had a catholic PM is that this country doesn't allow catholic PMs.

[BiasedBBC]

It's untrue to say that catholics are barred from becoming PM. We just haven't had one yet, though we have had a Jewish PM in the past.

blair is slightly better than cameron, experience matters I guess and cameron is a bit below the belt at times.

I will miss blair.

[TomGreenUK]

No, he doesen't. If you actually listen, Blair is evasive as fuck on the questions being asked. Blair is simply referring to the events of ten years ago and ignoring his own legacy.

[PsychoticNeurotic]

commons makes me SICK. Just a bunch of juvenile, overgrown schoolboys shouting at each other and thinking its ok to make fun of each other rather than deal with real-life, serious problems just because they sat smoking pot at Eton for years. Disgraceful. Grow up.

gordon brown sucks

[StephenKuma]

Cameron is a PM in waiting

[Hattie15]

blair did win that aurgument. I'VE BEEN THERE!!! I'VE TOUCHED THE BOXES!!!!

[MiK3i]

oh and my favorite question time conflict between blair and cameron has to be when cameron was questioning blair about the economy and blair replied with ''whats he done for the economy other than a big part in black wednesday!'' an excellent reply from blair there! :):):)

[MiK3i]

[tomsega]
