Parliamentary language

OK, so Dave can't call Brown a liar to his face. Not even when he lies to the House as he did today, not for the first time.

But how about...

'Bearing in mind the analysis of the Institute for Fiscal Studies which I daresay he knows by heart since he respects the experts of that august body and indeed quotes them regularly in support of his arguments, would the Prime Minister care to reconsider what he has just said and perhaps correct his egregious error of fact, an error which must surely have been inadvertent?'
