Gordon Brown is set for a grilling on the economy when he takes part in his twice-yearly question-and-answer session with senior MPs.
The Commons liaison committee is due to ask the prime minister about issues involving the failures of the banking sector and their wider impact.
The panel is also expected to focus on foreign affairs. The themes are selected in advance, although Mr Brown is not given prior notification of the questions.

How many times will he say 'sorry'? Probably none. Mistakes are things that only 'ordinary people' make.0

Will he mention a 'progressive consensus' ???"You were only supposed to blow the bl**dy doors off!!"0

Pity we couldn't get a few of the know-alls from these threads in front of the committee. We would be out of this problem before easter. Some people on here are really beginning to p*ss me off.0

20 - 50How many times will he say 'America', 'USA', 'Problems started in the States....' etc.?
All I've ever heard him say about this crisis is that it's 'Global' and it 'started in America'. The UK had nothing to do with it. Nothing. Nada. Niet. You hear?

Over 500Is anything *ever* Brown's fault? He seems incapable of taking any sort of responsibility for the state we're in. He has not admitted to making one single error of judgement.
He must be perfect then. Or delusional. Take your pick.0
