Bon voyage, MPs, but try to remember you're meant to be grown ups

Prime Minister's Questions were a lesson to any teacher on the dangers of tampering with that. In the absence of He-Man figures and Monopoly, MPs bellowed and heckled without even a threat of detention from Mr Speaker.

The reshuffle let David Cameron proudly proclaim: "We now have five full members of the cabinet and an additional three attending.

"When it comes to Conservatives sitting around the cabinet table I'm proud to say a third are now women."

The camera caught sight of the ousted leader of the House Andrew Lansley was sitting on the back but one bench.

Ed Miliband was more concerned with the plight of Michael Gove, demoted from education secretary to the chief whip: "We've always said we will support the Government when they do the right thing so can I congratulate him on getting rid of the education secretary," he said, clearly pleased with his joke.

"Why did he demote him?"

The Prime Minister gave a mealy mouthed reply about wanting the best person to replace retiring chief whip Sir George Young.

"He used to say 'I want to trust the Education Secretary to get on with that job for many years'," Mr Miliband pressed. "So why did he do it - the shortage of places, unqualified teachers or failure of free schools?"

How does one score real political points? It's the economy, stupid.

"Isn't it extraordinary - on a day of record increases in employment in this country he will do anything not to talk about people in work," Mr Cameron said. "His own job looks shaky."

Mr Miliband looked weary, ready for the school bell to ring.

"He's in his fifth year as Prime Minister and all he can do is blame someone else. He just doesn't get it," he sighed.

The Prime Minister was in the mood to reshuffle PMQs itself and ask about opposition policy.

"Labour announced it is their policy to put up taxes on middle income people," he said. "Which taxes on which people?"

MPs were yelling.

Ed Miliband said: "They're shouting weak, I'll tell them what's weak, it's saying he's happy with his team then sacking that team."

But the Prime Minister won this one: "I'm happy with my team and looking at the Shadow Chancellor I'm happy with his team too.

"The squeezed middle will be squeezed more. We've cut council tax, petrol duty, the jobs tax. Labour would put a tax o your job, your mortgage and your home. Where are the taxes coming?"

We have the whole summer silly season to find out.
