Wat Tyler and Conservative Home deliver their verdict on the Paxman-Davis confrontation.
It was a bit dull, to be honest. Paxo, sadly, has passed into the realm of self-parody: all those sighs and sneers, all that eye-rolling and senior common room pomposity. Now that University Challenge is off the air, he seems to miss having students to push around.
Not being a policy wonk, I thought he made a mistake by getting so wrapped up in the intricacies of taxation. Overall, Davis had little chance to shine, but I liked the wry twinkle in his eye as his antagonist frothed at the mouth. All in all, DD passed the Alpha Male test. Will David Cameron?
