The questions that David Cameron and Ed Miliband had no answer for

Jeremy Paxman gave David Cameron and Ed Miliband an intense and figurative grilling last night, in what was the first of four so-called pre-election ‘debates’.

Both leaders were put under severe pressure by the veteran presenter, who asked a series of hard-hitting questions.

On multiple occasions both Miliband and Cameron did what they could to avoid answering. Here’s a list of the occasions when they simply had no answer:

David Cameron

The deficit

Paxman:

How much money have you borrowed?

Cameron:

Well you’re going to tell me Jeremy presumably.

Paxman:

I am. It’s a mere 500 billion pounds.

Cameron:

That is a lot less than the previous government was borrowing.

Paxman:

No it isn’t, it’s more than the previous government.
