Losing one's cool @No 10

Poor old Boy David! I think all the rush and bother of yesterday must somehow have 'got to him'. Usually, he keeps up his Etonian gentlemanly facade! Also his PR training often serves him well. 'Never lose your cool' is a PR mantra. 'Never let them get under your skin' is something all really adept PR people know and abide by. But our Boy David let his cool warm up quite a bit today, I can tell you!

Of course, yesterday it was all smiles and gracious nods! Can't let yourself down in front of the foreigners. But in the House of Commons at PMQ - well ....

For some reason, both Boy David and Georgy from next door seem rather worried by the big man called Balls! Maybe it's the name! Maybe it's the brain! Maybe it's the eyes! Maybe it's because he has a brilliant wife! Whatever it is, he gets under their skin. And today - all the annoyance was voiced.

Boy David announced to the House of Commons : Mr Balls is "the most annoying person in modern politics". He added: "I wish the shadow chancellor would occasionally shut up and listen to the answer."

Arturo told me that probably Mr Balls doesn't need to listen to the answer, since he knows it'll be rubbish. And anyway he usually has a better answer!

I thought that might be a bit hard on Boy David. What do you think?
