Double Dutch standards?

Andrew Neil | 10:31 UK time, Thursday, 12 February 2009

Gordon Brown is this morning, his twice-yearly interrogation by leading backbenchers.

His appearance coincides with a plethora of horrendous headlines for the Prime Minister, from (and maybe heading for 3m+) to the of this year's economic prospects (or lack of them) to the demise of one of his favourite bankers (, formerly of HBOS).

So the senior backbenchers should have plenty of raw meat to chew on with the PM. We'll have the latest on what Mr Brown has to say.

Yesterday, controversial Dutch MP said that freedom of speech had been "harassed" in this country after Home Secretary Jacqui Smith banned him from entering this country to show his controversial film, Fitna, which links the Koran to terrorism. ?

We'll also be analysing how to bow out gracefully from political life.

And we'll be answering the burning political question of the week, .

All that on ´óÏó´«Ã½2 at noon - and afterwards on iPlayer.
