Ming the Merciless is becoming a bit of a pro at the old foreign policy questions.

He doesn't have much choice when Cameron steals subjects like Climate Change!

It's also the subject he is most comfortable with, one in which he can sound like a statesman in, and one that tends to be hard to heckle.

I really should start refusing to answer my phone at about 11:30 on Wednesdays. Missed it again!

Does Ming actually know anything about this country?

Is PMQ repeated on BBC Parliament? If not I'll have to watch it on the Parliamentlive archive tomorrow.

"Is PMQ repeated on BBC Parliament? If not I'll have to watch it on the Parliamentlive archive tomorrow."

I tend to watch it from the BBC website when I get home from work and Italian lessons on a Wednesday.

Italian lessons. How interesting? Are they going well Daniel?

Non c'e male, grazie. See you at Silvio's this summer?

Clearly Hilary Armstrong has to be minister of the day!

Ming would make a good Foriegn sec a Conservative-Liberal future government.

"Ming would make a good Foriegn sec a Conservative-Liberal future government. "

Please, no!

Although he'll be way too old by then anyway, so not to worry.

Well, I actually thought this was one of DC's most impressive performances thus far. He's growing into PMQs.

Blimey Goldie! You're an unpredictable little bugger.

A positive comment from Goldie about DC!Well I'll be damned.

Despite being allegedly anti-Cameron, my PMQ reports tend to be pretty positive about him!

Daniel, I know basic Italian from living with two Italian girls for a few months! Why are you learning it? I can speak Spanish and read (kind of) Latin and Greek so I can usually get the gist of Italian.

You guys haven't been paying attention. I was a very enthusiastic supporter of DC during (and indeed before) the Leadership campaign.

It was two years ago that I told my friends that DC would be the next Conservative prime minister. I still think this will come true...(I should have put a bet on it then). I also know Michael Gove personally, so I saw some of this coming from a long distance.

But I think that the economic approach DC is taking is WRONG.

Btw, you can listen to PMQ's here, and to Michael White's report of it here (courtesy of The Backbencher weekly email)

Oh, and watch it here!

"Daniel, I know basic Italian from living with two Italian girls for a few months! Why are you learning it? I can speak Spanish and read (kind of) Latin and Greek so I can usually get the gist of Italian."

Io studio italiano perche visitare l'Italia come turista.

You're right, Spanish and Italian are very similar - it's said that if you're fluent in one, you can just about muddle through in the other. Unfortunately I'm giving Italian up after next week due to time and financial restraints. I'm much more competent at French anyway. But anyway, enough about me and back to the subject of the thread...

Why was William Hague in the House today? Shouldn't he have been in Brussels? Although given the relaxed and downright funny performance of David Cameron at PMQs, I suspect he may have been called back to have a hand in prepping Cameron for PMQs - ten sugars or twelve?

Also, any news on whether Charles Kennedy and/or Mark Oaten were there today?

The person put down by the Speaker. If I remember correctly didnt he say that the person was a Whip? It narrows it down a little doesnt it?

Huhnes was there, you could see him a row or so behind Ming.

DVA--yes I too detected a Hague-ish flavor to today's PMQs, but DC handled the material very well indeed.

I watched it AGAIN because it was so brilliant.

DC really is such a talent. If only he developed some sensible policies...

"You're right, Spanish and Italian are very similar - it's said that if you're fluent in one, you can just about muddle through in the other. "

Yup - a Spanish speaker will usually be able to understand Portugese and Italian, and even Romanian (at least written, it's pretty hellish spoken). Personally I'd say we should teach Spanish before French in our schools because of this - doesn't hurt that it's much easier to learn also.....
