Contorted Plant Award
From this week's PMQs, this week's Contorted Plant award goes to Jeff Ennis, PPS to Ed Miliband and a man who really should know better:
The chief executive of Yorkshire Forward recently informed me that Barnsley's economy has recovered to the levels that it enjoyed prior to the previous Government's massive pit closure programme invoked in the early 1990s. That is mainly thanks to this Labour Government and a progressive local Labour council. Does my right hon. Friend agree that the people of Barnsley may have been brassed off with the Tories in the 1990s, but they will never be brassed off with this Labour Government and this Prime Minister?
It has a certain poetic genius, doesn't it?
