What would be unacceptable is if we were to follow the policies of the Conservative party. What would be lamentable is if we were to adopt the Conservatives' policy of doing absolutely nothing. Once again, the right hon. Gentleman has nothing to say about the big issues of the day; once again, he has nothing to say about unemployment; once again, he has nothing to say about the help that we are giving people for housing; and once again, he has nothing to say about help with businesses. Talking about U-turns, this is the man who promised to support the Government through the economic crisis; within a few days, he had abandoned that promise with his U-turn.

This was an opportunity for the PM to explain his position and his relationship with his ministers, and put a positive spin on it. But as usual he ducked the question. With regard to the Tory abandonment of support to the government on the economy, perhaps it was done after they discoverd what a mess the PM was planning to introduce.
