Do you think if I turn on Newsnight I'll see any discussion of the resignation scoop / stunt?

Nah. Just joking.

But I expect Steve Hewlett might well do something on it - either on his Radio 4 media programme or in the G.

Incidentally, a response about a complaint about a BBC programme being answered by the producer of that very programme.

How does that work again?
If I'm not here, then I'll be in the library. Or the other library.

It's longer than 4 minutes- there's an exchange about the floods with Corbyn before Cameron mentions it.

It would involve Cameron thinking on his feet, but that's easier when it's a nice surprise.

Caroline Lucas (Brighton, Pavilion) (Green): In the light of last month’s Paris climate agreement, at which all countries agreed to progressively increase their ambition and to keep global warming well below 2°, does the Prime Minister agree that we must now urgently begin the process of strengthening the EU’s 2030 greenhouse gas reduction target to 50% below 1990 levels at the very least, a position he argued for, I am glad to say, at the European Council?
What sort of vague crap question is that? Of all the things you could ask...

The hell of it is that the gonk probably believes every word he's written. People, we live in a land where the very words we use to speak with are literally meaningless. Ooga-chucka, ooga-ooga, ooga-chucka: the new political manifesto.

Asking the PM to honour reduction in greenhouse gases causing global warming is vague?

Sounds familiar,
it's either from one of the songs "running bear" or " hooked on a feeling"
or possibly George Osborne after a line too many?
