3. Excellent line
"He was patronising but I have been condescended to by far better people than the prime minister in my time and I can handle it."

4. It could have been worse
Imagine if that was Alistair Darling--then he would have said "Calm down, Darling"

But to jolt memories:

The difference between me and the Prime Minister is this: when I lean across and say, "I love you, darling," I really mean it.

5. I remember thinking at the time that the reply could have been:
'And the other difference is that when I say 'Balls', I'm talking to a colleague, not summing up all my policies'.
