Humphreys as determined to get on the agenda that the Tory leader was simply playing Punch and Judy politics and has no policies of his own that opposing wahat the government did.
He was reminded of an article that he wrote for Guardian unlimited before he became leader where he said that
I long for a chancellor who stands up and introduces a Budget which abolishes all of Brown's endless reliefs and credits - and uses the money to cut tax rates at the same time. "My Budget has no title", the peroration would go, "it's your money, spend it as you choose." Am I alone?
Rather contrary to his current position.
Humphries did get one admission out of him though.He admits that his promise of not playing Punch and Judy politics when he became leader had fallen by the way.PMQ's was made for confrontational politics.Furthermore he was angry about the u turn of last week.
Should someone who loses it become Prime Minister asked Humphreys?
Worth a listen
