Who's interested in the economy, Prime Minister?

I've just found this gem taken from Hansard's coverage of the debate on the Queen's Speech.

Brown criticised the Tories saying: "It is absolutely clear that the Opposition have no interest in listening to what we are doing about the economy. It is also absolutely clear that they are obsessed with only one thing today, but we have got to get on with the business of helping move from the downturn to higher prosperity."

Then a couple of minutes later Tory MP Andrew Robathan stood up and asked Brown: "The Prime Minister accused the Opposition of not being interested in his speech. Could he explain why the Benches behind him are empty, whereas ours are full?"

Hilarious! Sometimes Brown can be a right plonker!
