Lynne's Parliament and Haringey diary

So - Gordon's first PMQs. Ming scored today - with a joke! Gordon was saying that his door was always open to Ming - and Ming said 'Yes - a trap door'. It doesn't quite come over in print - but it rocked the House with laughter - the right sort of laughter. As for Gordon - I thought he was much as you would expect - serious, slightly ill-informed on some issues (as he said - he had only been in the job for five days - but excuses don't go down too well in the HoC) and he was trying to be conciliatory saying to most questioners - I will consider the points the Honourable Member has made. So - dullsville really!
